TCPMP is quite old and discontinued but still one of the best - fast, supports lots of codecs (both audio and video), it's free:
http://picard.exceed.hu/tcpmp/test/
Its successor - CorePlayer seems to be even better, but not free (mentioned above).
TCPMP can play music files, but i like to use another player for that - one that is designed specifically for music. My favorite is MortPlayer: again really low CPU usage, lots of audio formats, internet radio support, fully skinnable, and also works as a great alarm clock.
If you want something more flashy, S2P is a nice looking EYEphone-like music player - but internally it still uses the windows media player, so it supports only a few formats and is rather hard on the CPU.

CorePlayer. Read my related articles and Bibles; use forum search

For my needs, HTC Audio Manager: playes wma, has trimmer, ram lite, today plugin, many skins...

so my question is which is the best video (wmv) player in terms of codecs and performance.
Tcpmp doesnt support wmv and core player lag it, ony media player play smoother then any so I am looking for a player which play wmv smoother.

Don't bother with wmv - use h.264 + he-aac v2 instead, far superior

So far it appears that Coreplayer is the most popular, any others that are worth a mention? Winamp?, Real Player?, ????
Thanks for the responces, it gives us other places to look for a media player for these phones.

Mortplayer is the best I have come across for music by a long way.
I skinned it to look like WMP11, and I love it. It's so customizable! The best part is the keylock/screenoff feature assignable to a button, which I haven't found any other player capable of.

I have seen MortPlayer mentioned but was not really sure if that would suit my needs.
Definitely another good choice.
Any others or are these the crem de la crem as far as media players go?

they both suck (unless you want to play back RM files or streams - but, unfortunately, not RMVB ones), see my related articles

Headphones equalizer available for HTC’s Pocket PC phones!

Anyone having read my article “Everything you will ever need to know about the power consumption of Pocket PC audio players" knows x50mix and UdaEq, hardware audio equalizers for Dell Axim and Compaq / HP iPAQ devices (and some other) used with wired headphones. Unfortunately, they can only be used together with wired headphones – neither built-in speakers nor A2DP Bluetooth ones will be affected.
Hardware equalizers have the BIG advantage of not adding any additional CPU usage, unlike software equalizers used by most multimedia players. Therefore, if you need to have absolutely the best battery life, you use wired headphones and you won’t suffer from the equalizer’s resetting upon reinitalization of sound hardware (switching to next track in non-cross-fade- or gapless playback-capable multimedia players), make sure you give it a try.
HTC has also released its own equalizer compatible with most (but not all) HTC Pocket PC Phone Edition models. It’s available HERE (mirror HERE). After installing, manually create a link file to \Windows\Equalizer.exe. I’ve done this for you (it’s HERE) – just copy the file to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs or anywhere underneath it.

It also has some presets, and you can define / save /reload your own as well (screenshots: 1 2)
Finally, it allows for setting the microphone level or enable AGC as well.
Note that it isn’t compatible with Smartphones at all as can be seen in THIS and THIS screenshots. In addition, it won’t work with some HTC Pocket PC phones either; for example, the HTC Wizard (I’ve tested it with XDA Mobile 6 Release 3 – it MIGHT work with other versions)
Also note that there is a catch: when you play back a song that closes and reopens the channel (WMP is like this; media players offering gapless playback and/or cross-fade aren’t), then, you’ll end up having to set the equalizer again (by quickly dis-, and, then, enabling the checkbox). Look for my forthcoming Multimedia Bible (yes, I’ve started working on it!!!), where I also list all the multimedia apps that, in this respect, work flawlessly.

v1.2
- Refreshed UI
- Added more supported file types
What exactly differentiates this app from any other audio player? I'm not sure I understand what makes this especially novel or helpful for musicians. Suggestions:
- Multitrack playback - it'd be great to have vocal, guitar, drum, etc stems play synchronously with the ability to solo/mute them on the fly
- Folder integration would be essential for the above feature - each folder could contain all of the stems of a particular track
- Some implementation of tags, eg. style, tempo, genre
- Support for WAV and FLAC, even if they aren't great choices for mobile devices
- Maybe... make it free at least until it has some kind of special functionality? Pardon my bluntness, but don't know why anyone would pay for this
Thanks for the suggestions and I should have stated that I published this as quick as possible for the people that requested this app so there will be some changes in the future.
I also thought the same thing until a musician told me how a player like this would be more helpful than an ordinary player. A regular player is designed for listening to music and not a tool designed for the specific purpose of playing and selecting tracks in a live gig situation. There were complaints of players not having an auto pause feature after each song so they can either take a break or talk to the crowd without having to search around for a pause feature. They said the simpler the player the better because when your in a live situation, you do not need album art, shuffle, or any other features found on the regular media players.
so will it make a backing track from a normal song?

Nope, it is just a player for those tracks. The user would have to supply the tracks through the sdcard, as most musicians already have those tracks made.

- Refreshed UI
- Added more supported file types (.mp3, .mp4, .m4a, .flac (Android 3.1+), .wav, .mid)

VLC media player is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player that plays most multimedia files as well as discs, devices, and network streaming protocols.
This is a BETA version of the port of VLC media player to the Android™ platform. It is intended for power users and hackers. This version is not perfectly stable and is slower than the final version.
It is still a beta, so it might kill your kitten or destroy your house, but it should be fine now.
Use it at your own risk. Have fun!
NOTA BENE
–––––––––––
This version is for devices with an ARMv7 CPU or a x86 CPU. ARMv6 devices will be supported in a future release.
Features
––––––––––
VLC for Android™ plays most local video and audio files, as well as network streams (including adaptive streaming), like the desktop version of VLC.
VLC for Android has a media library for audio and video files, and allows to browse folders directly.
VLC has support for multi-track audio and subtitles. It supports auto-rotation, aspect-ratio adjustments and gestures to control volume and brightness.
It also includes a widget for audio control, supports audio headsets control, cover art and a complete audio media library.
Missing Features
––––––––––––––––––
As this is an early BETA version, a lot of things are not finished, but will change for the final release:
• The basic User Interface will change again;
• Performance improvements are missing;
• Hardware decoding works only with a limited set of hardware;
• Other unknown issues.
Permissions
–––––––––––––
• It needs hardware control, in order to change the audio volume;
• It needs phone calls control, in order to pause the music when someone is calling;
• It needs full Internet access to open network streams;
• It needs to be able to read logs, during the beta version, to help understanding the crashes and issues;
• It needs to get access to the SD card storage, in order to allow deletion of files.
• It needs to get access to the settings, in order to change your audio ringtone.
Requires Android
2.1 and up

[App][4.1+] Supernova Music Player - smart offline music player

Hello,
I’m the creator of Supernova Music Player, which I would like to introduce to you.
TL;DR version:
Supernova Music Player can learn which songs does the user like based on their actions during listening to music. The music player can, among other things, remember which songs were skipped by the user, when was volume turned up, or how many times was a certain song played. Each song has a score that is calculated based on these actions. With a higher score, there is also a higher chance of playing the song in the future. (Links are below.)​
Full version:
I am aware that there is a huge amount of other music players on Google Play, but that's why I wanted to create something different, not only visually, but also functionally. My motivation was that the only difference between a lot of offline music players is their appearance as well as the fact that they are unable to react to changes in user's music taste.
My goal was to create a music player that will play songs from the device according to how the user likes them, without the need to create and constantly edit playlists. Supernova Music Player can learn which songs does the user like based on their actions during listening to music. The music player can, among other things, remember which songs were skipped by the user, when was volume turned up, or how many times was a certain song played. Each song has a score that is calculated based on these actions. With a higher score, there is also a higher chance of playing the song in the future.
When it comes to visual appearance, the biggest difference from other music players is that my player does not use tabs for songs, artists, albums, or folders. Instead, you can use a search - when a search is active, the player only plays its results. My app also supports searching for multiple results, so playing the music only from two or more specified albums is possible. Thanks to its simple design, the application has low memory requirements - Google Play states a current size of only 7.3MB.
Another key feature of my music player is that it is free and without ads, has two additional play modes, supports dark mode, has a widget, a timer, and all the other features of a full-featured music player. This week I also released a PC version of Supernova Music Player in the Microsoft Store, which is still in open beta but already provides full functionality. Scores can even be synced between a computer and Android via Bluetooth, so users don't have to think twice about whether they want to listen to music on their phone or PC.​
It will be truly kind of you if you give it a try and provide me with some reviews or feedback. Here are the links:

does it support multiple genres (info in mp3 metadata - e.g. EDM;Tekk;Hardstyle ), so i can search by it. Few of the apps support it, Omnia is one of them.

Hello, currently this feature isn't supported, but it sounds like a great idea, so I will try to add it in some future update. Thanks for your feedback!
