WMP Mobile 10.3 bugs/questions

Hi all.
Apologies to begin with - can't find the WMP mobile troubleshooting page MS alludes to on it's "welcome to win mobile" page.
Questions:
1. With WMP mobile 10.3, any tracks from a compilation album (i.e. different artists but same album name) cause the album to be listed loads of times, one per artist. Obviously I'd like the album listed only once. Any clues? Is this a bug? I import with winamp and the album names are identical, the tags are clean, the folder structure on my desktop hard drive is VA\Album for compilations, artist\album for normals.
2. If this isn't workaroundable, does anyone know if there's a manual for coreplayer? I have it & use it for videos but can't make head nor tail of it's library function - i think it might be corrupt, in fact. Or should I give up completely and use pocket player 4?
3. WMP mobile - will skins improve the size of the library items? It's tough to hit them on the move, give the small size. Seems ill-thought-out, given the amount of free space on the page. Classic Microsoft, I suppose.
Thanks all!
Dez

2. Found manual here, which helps. CorePlayer is massively unintuitive and both have been designed with no consideration that the users may be mobile, and don't want to have to use the stylus all the time.
No ideas for #1? Fixing this would save me having to use CorePlayer to play music, which would be a bonus since it's a pain to go through so many menus to do something so simple...

Quick menu - Amazing little drop down menu to open and close apps quickly
AE button plus - remap the hardware buttons to 3 functions each like scrolling up and down, page turn etc
Resco File explorer and Registry - unfortunately alot of things on win mo have to be tweaked using tips from XDA.
Zoomer and Rotate screen and Bsb Tweaks - essential apps to mutitouch any app, rotate any app or apply essential tweaks.

Coreplayer for Snapdragon?

there's one doing the rounds extracted from the tg01 which uses hardware acceleration. not legit though as its only licensed for use with the Toshiba

To be honest, have tried the Acer/TG01 versions of Coreplayer and in my test it's rubbish, mild increase on some file formats, normal version 1.36 of Coreplayer easily outperforms the supposed Hardware accelerated versions and these so called HW accelerated versions were unstable.

1-Resco explorer 2010 - It is very user friendly with a lot of function file explorer for HD2
2-Torchbutton - It is very usefull small program to enable led flash as a torch, you can add this to your program tab or assign as a button!
3-resco photo viewer 7.03 (multitouch support) - multitouch support and editing support software for viewing and editing pictures
4-googlemaps - ???!!! no need to explain
5-hicalculator - the best calculator for HD2 in my opinion with many (i really mean MANY) functions...
6-xdashutdown - for soft reset
7-coreplayer for snapdragon - for playing video and audio files support many formats!
8-spb wireless monitor - for measuring how many kilobytes or megabytes you use with your data,usb and wifi connection!
9-midomi 2.3(though it doesn't work correctly but i have to work on it) - just search then you will get what this is, it used for music recognition
10-foxit reader (for viewing pdf files and it is quicker than adobe reader )
and of course for those who are frustrated from htc messaging VITO SMSChat + registry hack(in order to make vito, the default sms application)

A small discruiption along with the app would me nice

Yep, HTC Album outperforms it as well, much smoother and better quality with correctly encoded videos.
I still use the retail 1.36 for music and standard dvd/tv rips.

Coreplayer for SnapDragon
Can any kind souls provide the link to this Coreplayer for SnapDragon please?
Or at least point me in the right direction by giving the correct filename?
TIA.

Morphgear, FPSEce, Resco Explorer, CorePlayer, Pocket Player, allReader, Opera, Pigeon!, Twitter tab , google maps, rss hub, youtube application, xdaShutdown.

Very cool thread but to have value to it you should include what the app does, I'd say it's more important than download link.. I'm gonna add my list later

Coreplayer first and foremost! So, I'd love to try the SnapDragon version. I'd appreciate a link or a point in the right direction.

Remote Controlling Foobar with HTC HD2

Hi. Hope that this is the correct place to post...
I have been playing this weekend with a Foobar plugin that allows web control.
The web interface that this plug-in creates is skin-able, and indeed somewhat predictably there are already a couple of i-phone themes available. I did get them working well with the HTC HD2.
However the graphics quality is not stellar when an i-phone designed interface is scaled up, so I started having a poke at the javascript code for myself... I am no coder by any means, so I have been adapting other peoples work noteably the IxoFith template at the above link...
So far I have a HTC music playeresque theme working, with the odd glitch here and there, I reckon that a talented javascript programmer could do a lot more a lot faster than I can, anyone up for it?
I will continue to fettle this and eventually will post my code at "Justblair's Audio and Electronics Pages" but if you are interested in seeing what damage a ham fisted amateur can do to some competently written code, either comment at my site or contact me through here and I can get it to you..
It is very scrappy at the moment, though functional. I tried to post images, but outside links are a no no for newbies here. Google my site name if you want a taster. Hopefully the mods will lift the restriction soon.

Off-topic, but another way:
GRemote works VERY well with WinAmp, allowing you to browse all your PC files on your HD2, and play or queue files/folders in WinAmp (even tho I hate WinAmp!). You can also launch any file in whatever app you choose, so I can browse all my movies in a very slinky, fast-scrolling manner on my HD2, and whichever one I click starts playing full-screen (e.g. VLC, GomPlayer etc), and a swipe on my phone then gives me Play/Pause, fast-forward, rewind, volume, next file, full-screen/windowed etc.
Just a suggestion if you like finding new ways to play your media

That's worth a look I am sure. I have tried the freebie version of G-remote which is of course a little limited. I did have a few crashes when using the free version of G-remote, kinda put me off spending on it.
I also happen to like foobar as it has the plug-ins needed to run it as an "audiophile" source, i.e. wasapi and native flac playback. I used winamp a while back and did not like it. I dare say it has improved since then.

[REQ] xda users navipanel

hi,
i am not very satisfied with copilot and i am also missing things in htcs navipanel.
i would like to have a media player (audio and video) also in the navipanel or the rss reader that i can listen to podcasts. the navisoftware should also be selectable.
so i thought perhaps you guys can write a better navipanel tool which will replace the htc one.
regards

+1 for the above. I believe it is a missing app for our beloved ppc. It took me hours just to set igo8 running instead of Copilot, and the result is not satisfying at all.
It would be nice to automatically stop wifi when you insert hd2 to the cradle also, adding to the above mentioned. And I do not know if it can be implemented but it would also be nice to have more bluetooth controls over the car's bluetooth,like muting the radio for as long as you want when igo8 gives you directions etc.

Must have apps?

I'm getting my Titan on Friday and I wanna know what apps you guys can't be without. I will not be unlocked so please only include apps which are "legit".

A few fun/useful free apps:

MineHacker (I like it better than the official Minesweeper app)
Headshot (if you like taking self-portraits with the high-res camera on the back)
Amazon Kindle (great if you have any Kindle ebooks; carry one fewer device)
Facebook (the new version is very nice, and can do many things the built-in can't)
Flashlight (from HTC)
iHeartRadio (especially if you don't have a Zune Pass but have lots of data or WiFi)
RemoteDesktop (super-handy if you need to access a PC, though the trial version is limited to a few minutes at a time)
The SSH Client (if you ever remote into any UNIX/Linux/OS X boxes)
TouchDevelop (lets you create awesome scripts on the phone directly, or use ones made by other people)
These apps are all on the Marketplace, and are either free or have uable free trials.

btw. you write "legit"? I would think everything here on XDA is legitimate, even if it can only be sideloaded.

I just realised I could browse the Marketplace on Zune software on my computer so, thanks for all the posts here tho

I actually recommend using the website, not the Zune software, if you want to browse the Marketplace on your PC. It is indeed posible, though.

I mean that I cannot put apps outside of the marketplace on my phone so people shouldn't include them in their list. I will probably buy the developer unlock but the 10 apps limit really sets me off, it isn't worth it almost.

ShopSavvy (This is way easier to use then its Android equivalent)
Toggle (I prefer this to Network Dashboard, works better)
Minesweeper (yay for easy XBL points!)
last.fm
Rad Now (great for finding out the weather radar looks like WHERE YOU ARE).
Angry Birds (cause its more easy XBL points if your any good at it)
HTC Hub (probably comes pre-installed on the phone), since its easy to keep track of the current weather forecast.
HTC Flashlight (just nifty at times)

I recieved the phone just three hours ago and I know all about it already, I'm so in love
