Cool Flipside MP3 Player for Windows Mobile!

Is anyone using this mp3 player. I want to purchase the player but first wanted to get some feedback from the current users. It has a very cool "swoosh" effect while switching through albums...

It's cool if you're looking for that Iphone feel and more into graphics than features. But, it is still lacking quite a bit in the features sections. Conduits Pocket Player and PocketMusic are still the best if you're looking for lots of features (for music only... TCPMP if you're adding video to the mix).

Your right, it does lack features but that swoosh effect should be standard on all players!

The album swoosh is amazing, as is its album art downloading feature, its so simple it should be a crime.
But without AVRCP, being able to sort music buy genre, album, artist, yada-yada, and some faster scrolling (at most I get two albums per swipe) its just not enough to convert me, yet.
So until then, Pocket Player FTW, lol. At least on WM, I installed this on her 8310 and it is the PWN.

Looking for alternate music player

Hi all,
I'm using CorePlayer as music player on my TP but I've discovered that if CoreP is running, everything else is working terrible slow.
If CorePlayer is plaing 128kbit mp3 and I'm working on opera there is a HUGE delay in keyboard response, menu speed and so on.
There is no similair lag when playing music on internal TP player.
Could you please recommend me some alternative music player which is less resource consuming than CorePlayer?
Regards
B.

I would recommend you Pocket Player. Finger friendly and i can usually read my ebooks while listening to music.

I'll try it - are you reading books on this PP or I misunderstand something ?
I'm using an old version of uBook reader which works fine for me
Regards
B.

WMExperts just did a comparitive article on some media players.
other alternatives could be: S2P (discontinued in the meantime but still a good app)
hope you find what you're looking for
DicE

yes I like pocket player for music and core player for music and videos

Pocket Tunes is fine for me!

Pocket Player 3.7 slows down for me as well.
Even when the app is killed, it's still slow.
Nothing suspicious found in Task Manager.
Only way out = SOFT RESET

Why not just use WMP/S2P/Audio Manager? I seem to find that S2P does a very good job. I use WMP nowadays also with SRS WOW HD and Audio Booster. It does a good job once you find the right settings on audio. and I still love WMP's feature to lock the screen and use all the buttons, S2P can do that also

Music Player
I concur that Pocket Player is the best I have found after trying a number of different ones. Very user friendly & not too draining on resources...

What media player(s) do you use?

I'm stuck. I've been using windows media player on my Raphael (Touch Pro, Fuze etc.) and it really doesnt cut it. Limited format compatability and awkward user interface. So im wondering what YOU use. Post multiple programs if needed.
Take into consideration:
What you use them for, music, video etc
The file format mp3, avi, .flac etc.
Album art?
Me? I use TCMP for videos, Windows Media Player for music or Nitrogen (0.3.2) I tried 0.2.1 but it didnt suit me. WMP has poor usability and Nitrogen has really poor library thingy, hard to select and play tracks quickly but other than that is easy to use.
Shoot!
P.S. (Links would be ace)

for just music s2p rulez
everything else, coreplayer

Agree S2P rules!!
For the rest TPCM

Coreplayer hands down here.

Coreplayer ($) is the best all-around player for me. TCMP (Free) is probably my second choice for all-around.
I use Conduits Pocket Player ($) for music, though, due to Coreplayer's strange (IMHO) library. There are probably several just-as-good free music players, but I have a license for Pocket Player, so...

TCPMP for videos & AudioManger for music...lot's of skins!

TCPMP for all!

Conduit's Pocket Player. Smooth MP3/AAC etc player that works extremely well with CPUs with lower clock speeds. Also supports WM10 plugins and skins.

I use nitrogen
theres a really simple way of fixing ur looking for music in Nitrogen problem
as it doesnt have a playlist thingy u can make folders with specific types of music in those folders
i dont kno if you understand me

Pocket Tunes for audio - it was the best at bookmarking which was a must-have for podcasts for me.
CorePlayer for video.
Between those two I've never had anything I couldn't play.

Kinoma play. MP3, WMA, (AAC? Dunno - don't use it), youtube, flickr, shoutcast, podcasts, orb.com (use this to listen to ALL of your music or watch all of your videos and even your HDTV!), iDisk, Audible.com and more.. damned near every radio station, DigitallyImported (www.di.fm) and thousands of internet radio stations and video streams.. cool panoramic photos and more..
In short.. I've used all of the others (S2P, Nitrogen, Core, etc) and I can't get over the interface and ease of use that Kinoma offers.

I prefer Kinoma Play.
Others you can try are Nitrogen, S2P, Pocketplayer, Mortplayer, Pocketmusic.

Looking good but there you can play lot off thing's i wont only for music for rest i have coreplayer but picasa upload ets not bad too..

Big fan op pocketplayer here...

Kinoma Play by far....

I more and more like the built in HTC music player.

To my mind, mort player ist the best. wvga is supported by many skins it's got mp3 alarm (that works), mp3 and ogg support and it is freeware.
here is the dl:
http://mortplayer.softonic.de/pocketpc

I found S2P and this is not so bad..

I used to use Nitrogen but started to get pauses in the playback for a couple of seconds at a time. With Nitrogen installed these occurred in both the built in Music Player and Nitrogen itself. As soon as I removed it though these pauses also disappeared. Now I use the built in Music Player until I find something better that is also finger friendly.

I would like to ask, which player can support AVRCP on HD2?

Nowadays i get back to buld-in music player.. I didn't found any player to be better..

Probably a stupid question but can I still access the built in htc music player if I have SPB shell installed?
Also, why is Kinoma player described as Free? I thought it was a program you have to pay for?

If you want the best equalizer (you have to pump up the low frequencies in order to get a good bass), best bass level (the best for Rock and Metal music) and a very good UI, you should go for Pocket Player. It has tons of functions (playlists and a lot more organizing functions) and it's the most function oriented music player. It works perfectly with the headset (its buttons) when you install the WMP plugin (something you don't get with the other players) . If you use it combined with the AudioBooster of the phone, the sound will be perfect.
But if you want something simple to use, use PocketMusic (the equalizer is horrible, but the bass booster is very good) or Nitrogen. MortPlayer isn't bad. But it can be difficult to use and it's a heavy program.
So there you have it.

There's a free version called "Kinoma Free Play". It works great for music with no real limitations (except for upgrade ads at startup).

nitrogen is very basic, but does the job. PocketPlayer is without a doubt the best player out there though.

Thanks Nsider
I've tried it now and kinoma keeps hanging when it's scanning through my media on the storage card so I've not actually been able to test it. It's the same video it gets stuck on so I could remove it I guess but not much use if that happens whenever there is a file it doesn't like.
Tried Pocket Player and while it looks like it'd do the job ok it seems REALLY slow to run & respond. Any reason why this would be?

Pocket Player is slow at the first time you run it. Because it searches for your MP3 files and it makes an index of them. Therfor it is slow only for 3-5 minutes. After that, it's very fast and smooth. If you have a class 2 memory card, install Pocet Player on your device memory.

Builtin HTC media player in my books, could do with a few tweaks tho, like search/letters down the side. On Coverflo the albums should be ordered alphabetically. Other than that its perfect! I have about 14gb worth of music and it handles it perfectly.
Other than that, I would also go with PocketPlayer, its really good, loved using that on my Diamond.

the best music player??

what is the best music player for windows mobile??
please someone answer my question. i've tried a lot of applications but i dunno what's the best.

S2P in my opinion.
http://www.ac-s2.com

in terms of functionality none of xdadev's trendy players can beat good old gsplayer and mortplayer.
in terms of sound control/quality 40thiplay is best one.
imo.

Conduits Pocket Player has been the most reliable player for me. Its power consumption is extremely low; it uses windows media player skins, winamp skins and pocket player skins; and also its extremely customisable.

Moved as not software release..
PocketPlayer
