I had a skin in 3.6, but reflashed my phone and found i no longer had the file on my PC.
I think it was a HTC style, and i know that PocketPlayer can use Windows Media and Audio Manager skins but this one isnt an option in PocketPlayer.
It was similar to the HTC audio manager skin, and had three views, a view showing all tracks in that album/playlist, a view showing albumart and the buttons, and a view just showing the albumart full screen.
Searching here, google and Conduits forum has turned up nothing, does anyone know of this skin and its location?

Is there a way to change this?
I have many albums on my phone (HTC Touch) and the HTC Audio Manager arranges my songs in album in alphabetical order and not per track number.
The Media Player sorts the track right.
Is there a way to fix this problem?
HTC Audio Manager
The easy way to fix this is to use something else. I have found that with my touch the songs, etc were not able to use touch flo but had to use the slider bar on the side to move up or down on the screen. I have swithed to slide to play which keeps tracks in the proper order, full screen album art, and utilizes full touch screen capabilities.
Now I have the answer. I had a "old" Version of the Audio Manager. With the current version this problem is solved.
Where did you find the new version of audio manager please.
I have exactly the same problem with the touch player of the samsung omnia!
Is there already any solution for that?
I've removed the supplied music and added my own selection to my memory card. The touch flo music app see's this in its library and, if I go through the pages to select and album and song, will show the album art etc. in the touch flo music player but it only shows that one artist at a time, not the stacked albums as with the original, supplied music.
How do I get the touch flo music player to build the stacked view of my artists?
Thanks...
Isn't touchflo3D linked to windows media player? If so, try going to start>programs>wmp right click>Update library. I haven't had this problem so don't know much.
I don't use WMP as such though and only want to synch some files from another location, not those my laptop has access to...
2nd poster is right, you have to find a link to windows media player then go into the options and update your library. It finds all music files and adds them, and they can then be accessed by going into the music tab and hitting Library in the bottom left.
Okay, cheers. Will give it a go and sort it out.
Thanks both.
That's weird. All I did was dump a load of tracks onto my SD card in a folder and they all appeared. I didnt have to do anything in WMP etc. TF3D picked them up pretty much straight away.
EDIT: Having read your OP again, I see what you are getting at. The view of "stacked albums" you are talking about is the "Now Playing" list. You have to add items into Now Playing before they will appear there. You will not see your entire music collection in that view unless you put them all into the playist that is currently playing.

AH, I didn't even realize that lol... I thought he meant getting them into the library, and unlike yours mine didn't pick them up automatically. I had a folder full of files with "No program assigned" so I couldn't even open them until I updated my library.
i think that the original tracks gave you the wrong ideia. I used a diamond and i could only ear one artist at the time! the up and down only changes track.
But since you mention it, try messing with the settings and choose all albums. This should do the trick because with the original track they were like albums but with only one sample track each??
Should be getting mine soon to try it out
Yep, think I'm getting the hang of it.
Some confusion too. When I was referring to WMP I meant on my laptop rather than WMP on the Touch Pro.
WMP on my laptop wanted to synch a few hundred pictures as well... Stopped that and removed what I don't want leaving only the music I do want on the Touch Pro storage card.
Have now updated the library from within WMP on the Touch Pro (you have to first change it to look in the storage card) and now things are looking better.
Yep, agree that the supplied sample tracks give the impression that the Touch Flo music app can navigate between albums a flick at a time whereas this was because there was only a single track per each of these albums...
Have also seen that I need to get a selection made in order for the stacked album covers to appear...
Getting there slowly...
Further. Have added all my music to a playlist now and that makes all the albums come up in the stacked album view within the touch flo music app.
Not quite like what I thought it would be like though, i.e. you are limited to scrolling through your music one track at a time, the album flips to the next when you reach beyond the first or last track - you can't flip through albums at a time using the interface (unless the album has only one track) to select.

I think it's just a re-skinned WMP, built around it. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that why you update WMP's library and it shows up in touch-flo's library?
It is a crock, I am going to switch it off, all I want to do is browse the folders to add songs to the play list but all I get is a big long list of all the songs on there, I have multiple versions of some but I can't see which are which.......

yes, if you have 10 songs from the same album, each gesture flick will flip to the next track but the album art doesn't flip since it's the same album.
I "workaround" by creating a playlist containing multiple albums, and then I sort them in such a manner that the album tracks are arranged randomly, or at least no two track from the same album are together side by side.
Regarding album art.
I have added pics to albums that I have in WMP on PC. Synced those albums with TP. Some of the album arts does not show in TF3Ds music player, other does. However, album art shows nice when playing the same file in WPM on TP. Any clues???
Regarding album art, one foolproof way I've discovered of ensuring it appears is to make sure each album folder contains a file called Folder.jpg, then TF3D's music app will convert that JPG into it's own album art file when it next updates its library, which it tends to do either after a soft reset or after a memory card is inserted.
You may then delete all the Folder.jpg files if you want, to save space - they won't be needed any more.
Hi,
I'm having problem where the music tab does not display the photo for most of the music I synced from my notebook.
I tried opening Windows Media Player on my Touch Pro and all the musics have photo attached to them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Found solution at http://discuss.pocketnow.com/showthread.php?p=74481#post74481
Anyway, people should start complaining to HTC regarding this issue as the TouchFlo 3D music tab is not WMP compliance.
Ok, the solution found in the page above would actually solve the problem for one time sync. If you want to continuously sync your music, then it would be best to add the album art into the music files directly by tagging them.
So, here's the steps:
Use WMP to update album info. This would eventually add album art.
Download Mp3tag at http://www.mp3tag.de/en
Install and start Mp3tag
Press CTRL+D (Change Directory) and browse to your music folder
Press CTRL+A to select all files
Click the "Actions (Quick)" icon on the toolbar
Select "Import cover from file"
Type "Folder.jpg" and click OK
Wait until complete and sync to your device
If you have previously synced, then the album art would stay as before, delete the HTC folder in Application Data folder on your device and restart your device
hm that's baaaaad. it should support images in the directory
I have some MP3 with album covers embedded in MP3 TAG, copied in my HTC HD via USB disk but TF3D don't recognize the images...
little bit of necromancy
I`ve used put folder.jpg in album folder. working with everything
Sorry if this has already been covered but i couldn't find an answer anywhere on the net. I am totally unable to change the default skin in windows mobile media player 10. I have tried putting the files in these locations:
device/program files/windows media player
device/program files/windows media player/skins
I have even tried leaving the files in the folder (after unzipping):
device/program files/windows media player/Poorlyduck WM m2d Black
device/program files/windows media player/skins//Poorlyduck WM m2d Black
Yet when going to the skin chooser screen all i get is the default portrait and the previous/next button are greyed out. I have tried various skins not just the example above.
I am using an AT&T Fuze, WM 6.1, touchflo enabled and no custom rom or major tweaks. I have removed the touchflo media player from my tabs though with diamond config.
Any help is appreciated.
oops sorry its media player 11 my bad.
Hey all
Due to an issue with build-in manilla media player (it stops after few moments of playing music) I'm stuck with WMP. I've been trying to find some finger friendly skins for it. Found some, but I'm unable to install them Tried to copy/paste files into program files/mindows media folder, but player does not see them Any ideas? Any beginner guide to installing skins or good source for skins will be much appreciated!
Thanks

Make sure all your music that you're playing from the HTC music player is in a root folder
eg. Storage Card/Music
With no subfolders.

Hey Phaedrus Nine
Tried all that - All my music is in "music" folder on my memory card. It is organised into separate folders. Tried to put one folder with few files in root location of memory card. Same time I've put some loose files in "music folder. All files are availabe for play in media libary and every single one stops after few seconds (40s max) Also before u ask - yes, followed few threads saying that it has something to do with mp3 tags - changed all of them, but still same issue. Gave up, decided to stick to WMP. The only thing I want now is a new skin for it...
Did you put all of your music into one root folder? Not organised into different folders, but just one.
I had the same problem, plays fine in WMP but HTC Player kept stopping after about 4 seconds.
Edit:
I tried installing skins for WMP on my phone, couldn't get it to work. Copied files etc.. Did a little searching, but couldn't find anything. I think the skins have to be WVGA? I dunno. But if you go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=492220 there is a download to a nice WMP skin with a .cab installer.
But I do suggest just sticking all your music into into folder (no other folders whatsoever, just one) HTC player is better than WMP.
Do the skins replace the album/artist list screens in the library or only the 'Now Playing' screen?

Just the now playing screen.
Phaedrus Nine - thanks for link, skin works great - finally I can listen to my mp3's on my handset.
Yes, I agree that WMP is not the best, but at least works As for music and build-in manilla media player I've tried all combinations and still no success
I've tested the cab and it works perfect on my device!?
Running MediaPlayer 10.3 build 28014 on ROM 1.61.468.1 with Manila Core 2.5.19211619.0
You have to change the skin in MediaPlayer Options but I think you know that!!
Just noticed that skin works ok, but only in portrait mode when flipped to landscape standard blue skin is displayed Checked file manager and all files appear to be there (landscape and portrait). I'm all confused here...

I didn't try it in landscape, like I said before I don't really use WMP I just installed to see if it worked for the benefit of this thread. But I would suggest going to the original thread I linked to to see if your answer is there. I'd have a look but I've not much time at the minute

No worries, glad to help. I don't understand why your HTC music app isn't working. My folder is set to Storage Card/Music.... and thats it, I had to remove all subfolders in the music file and make sure it was the only place music was stored on my device. Then it worked fine.
Does anyone know how to get the landscape skins to appear in the options? Not even my default skin shows up for landscape, only portrate. I've checked the program files and they're all there, but not within WMP.
