Hey, I was wondering whether there is a music player for Tornado with full AVRCP support, i mean supporting play/pause/rewind/fast forward buttons on my A2DP headset. Windows Media Player isn't that bad but it really cuts performance (and battery) down, and A2DP uses much resources anyway and that 2 things together make phone really sluggish. Are there any other recommendations?
Coreplayer.. the commercial one, not TCPMP unfortunately

Sorry if this is a dumb question but i've only just ordered my XDA Exec. I'm a long distance HGV driver and take loads of bloody things on the road with me which is why I decided to get an Exec to combine them all into one. I was wondering what the MP3/xvid/divx playback is like on them? I plan on putting in a 4 gig SD card so I can play all my MP3's etc (and a couple of tv episodes I follow) and was wondering what the playback is like on them? Is it ok or do I still need to take my MP3 player etc with me?
Thanks in advance to anyone kind enough to help.
I'm only using 1Gb here, but Media Player 10 happily plays all the MP3's I throw at it without a problems.
For DivX though you'll need something like BetaPlayer though (now relabed TCPMP) Just google it will find really fast.
Yeah, I downloaded that TCPMP the other day. Is the quality of MP3 playback (sound quality) on the Exec good?

Well I guess really depends what you're comparing it too
If you're playing through headphones it's fine and personally everything sounds great to me.
If you're playing through built in (stereo!) speakersit's certainly no worse than my previous BlueAngel (XDA IIs) and I think it's louder too. It's not amazingly ultra clear etc, but then it's not designed to be a super expensive stereo It certainly is good enough for me while getting ready in the morning etc. Othertimes just use the headphones and that's great.
Hope that's some help.
even old b&w pda's play mp3 just fine
it's not really that hard
and even xda1's play movies just fine in the res of their screen
Thanks very much to you both. I'll be playing it through headphones when i'm unloading my lorry. I always go to depots that are empty so I listen to my MP3 player to get through the boredom while i'm unloading and like good quality sounds
Consider converting your MP3s (or re-ripping them) to the new format AACPlus v2.
I have a 2GB Sandisk SD card in my Exec. Using the aacplus v2 I am able to have over 75 albums (yes, 75) at better-than-cd-quality bitrates, as well as everything else such as Tomtom, installed apps and a couple of films.
You would need to use TCPMP with the AAC plugin (which can be googled for pretty easily) to play them as WMP will not play them in high quality, but offers incredibly low filesizes - in some cases just over 1MB for a 4min song.

I use my Exec as a MP3 player a lot, and with a decent pair of headphones the sound quality is great. I tend to use GSPlayer for audio more often, mainly as it has good support for Shoutcast radio too, although if O2 really do start charging for GPRS that may become a thing of the past.
Anton do you know of any good free MP3 to AACPlus v2 converters?
Chrispy, you may also want to consider getting a FM transmitter from Ebay or ordered from overseas (They are not sold in UK due to broadcast liscence issues), that way you can broadcast the Execs output to your Trucks radio.
I use the standard Windows Media Player for mp3 and it works just fine and sounds comparable in quality to my other mp3 players.
It's even better if you purchase Microsoft Voice Command as you can control WMP with one button press and your voice, and even use a BT headset - great for driving.
I just got a new stereo bluetooth headset (Samsung SBH-170) and I had feared this would happen.
Up till now I've been using TCPMP to view my videos and listen to my music, since it can pretty much do everything that Windows Media Player is missing. But now I run into something that WMP offers that TCPMP doesn't: compatibility.
None of the buttons on the headset will work with TCPMP. However, WMP doesn't let me create/save playlists, watch DivX/XviD encoded movies, and eats up my program memory.
So is there any other media players out there that would work, or perhaps an updated version of TCPMP or WMP to fix these issues?
I have Sompy on my computer, but I can't recall why I'm not using it.
Edit:
I have a Wizard and have updated to T-Mobile's latest release.
I've been actively searching for something, but I can't find much. There are some apps that support music only, but who would want three media players on your device? I've also found a program that allows creation and editing of WMP playlists.
Update:
Found CorePlayer, which appears to be the commercial version of TCPMP (let me know if I'm late on this), but there is still some issues with stereo bluetooth control.
Wait for jan 2007 when Betaplayer will be released (www.betaplayer.com)
Well thats confusing. Why is CoreCodec releasing an opensource player to compete with their commericial player?
Oh, and I found another reason to hate WMP. When listening to my music, it will become distorted (either noticably slower or faster so the tone changes) and then stop, then start again with the distortion and get better later. This does not happen with TCPMP though.
This is lame.
More info on BetaPlayer here: http://www.corecodec.com/forum/index.php?topic=3565.0
Did never had those speed fluctuations ou mentioned with WMP on 2003SE as you mentioned.
Hi!
I'm using my Touch Pro in conjunction with an A2DP enabled car kit to stream MP3s to my car radio.
Unfortunately when I use the prev or next button on my carkit the (sucky) Touch Music player responds to them, instead of the (not so sucky) Pocket Player, which I prefer to play my MP3s with.
Does anyone have any suggestions on this?
Thanks!
Same here. The Pocket Player guys over at the Conduits forum are looking for a solution...
I have the same problem. You can not use the pause/play avrcp buttons to control the player. If you try to pause any player you will accidentally start up the wmp.
I guess we have to wait for a new rom or program that can reconfigure the avrcp controls

I have the same problem, too! Help needed! I'm using the funkwerk dabendorf ego look hands-free system. http://www.fwd-online.de/content_manager/page.php?ID=17780&dbc=40e5f956c20fc998358f90e2240b457d
yup even if u disable touch flo 3d then it just opens media player, pretty annoying
Hi,
I don't know how to change the defaultplayer but it is possible. I like my A2DP to use the Touch Player.
However I had to reset my device to the factory settings because A2DP didn't use the Touch Player anymore, but only used Windows Media Player.
Therefore my conclusion that it must be possible to make A2DP use another application.
When I was looking on how to change back the A2DP to Touch Media Player a lot of people on the forums suggested to make sure that the application that you want to use is the default player for MP3 files.
So what applications opens when you click on a MP3?
Regards,
AJ
Hey, everyone!
So I've been using the Fuze for a while, and while I'm very impressed with how well it plays music (the last exposure I had to listening to music on a phone was not a good one...), I'm a bit bitter about the shortcomings I've run across on the simpler things. I wonder if anyone here could answer these questions:
* Does anyone know an app or background service that lets me adjust volume with the screen OFF? It's a bit inconvenient to have to unlock the phone every time I want to adjust the volume.
* Does anyone know of a lean and mean music player that supports gapless playback AND has at least a basic library that isn't slow? I tried Pocket Player (horrible library performance), Kinoma (no gapless and horribly laggy), S2P (great library, but graphics were distracting and no gapless), HTC's built-in player (pretty good, but no gapless) and Windows Media (need I say more?) and all of the other apps I've heard about don't catalog music.
Thanks!

for ur first question i HIGHLY doubt theres an app unless u have S2U2 as an unlock app, then u can change the settings where u can change the volume without unlocking
for ur second question, try nitrogen player, never tried it but i heard alot of good reviews for it http://www.dewantoro.net/search/nitro+player+WM
the only i use on my TP for music was the TF3D player and i havent experienced any problems with it, but give nitrogen player a try...
Libraries are going to be slow if you have a large collection. Try TCPMP or mortplayer-they use a file explorer instead of a library. The downside is that you can't play genres or all your music. You need to make playlists.
PocketPlayer has gapless playback and many other features. The only problem is that it is not integrated into manila.
What's the best music player for the hd2? Mine just hangs when I go to it! On the latest gtx energy rom
I left it for 20 min and it still hadn't loaded!
In my opinion the best one is POCKETMUSIC for FLAC and S2P for mp3
pocketplayer 4.0 / 4.1.
it roxx, and with SRS WOWHD even more.. u should try this
im audiophile, and i like it very much xD
Everyone's got their own favourite - there is no "best" one.
My fave is Nitrogen, especially since it can control bluetooth audio volume (which is pretty important to me, after spending £60 on some bluetooth earphones )
Yes, UR right... SRS WOWHD is very importand... combo with POCKETMUSIC roxx with of course good headphones (Crossroads Mylarone X3i, JBL 220, Phillips SHE9500 or JBuds J3 Micro Atomic)
Music Player
Pockettunes is my favourite as I listen to a lot of audio books and this has an automatic bookmark. Switch between books and it remembers where it left off. Has internet radio channels too. Plays with the unit turned off, bluetooth headset compatible. Give it a try
