Hello Fellow Forumners,
After being able to not amplify by registry edit the new Manila, I have decided to take an easier way, my means of Pre-Amping an mp3 player. Now since i've been content with the standard mp3 player I haven't explored the market of mp3 players for WM6 devices so.....which ones are the best out there?
I am happy with a normal scroll playlist, not really into having all these high-tech skins and such....and of course, pre-ampable.
So let me know your thoughts....
Paul
Why would you try and amplify manilla, manilla has no sound. It is just a graphical interface.
As for mps players, i use htc audio manager
...
As i posted on a previous post...before manila, i could easily do the "Audio-Boost.cab" and amplify my headset volume, that cab does not work anymore, and as I also stated, when removing, it deletes the who sound files from the system, hence not even the start-up jingle would sound (hard reset).
I travel, and i do have the HTC Audio Manager, even with the Audio Booster, i can barely hear music when on a flight. Before Manila, with the .cab mentioned above, it was loud and clear.
As one fellow forumner mentioned, while I find a solution via registry, I could do the mp3 player option.
Cheers,
Paul

you mean 2D or 3D? It's 2D (Onyx 4.1.2, it's the HTC ROM Update + Goodies)
Paul
I'm confused. but i do suggest S2P if you hadn't already.
S2P
S2P does not have a Pre-Amp option
Paul
do you mean seperation of the audio program volume and system or flat out an amp?
Ps: and yes i meant 2d or 3d
oh my bad...

My biggest problem with Windows Media and HTC Audio manager is the lack of an equalizer... my JBL noise-canceling headphones need just a touch of treble boost to be perfect.
I've been using CorePlayer... it seems like overkill for just music.
Is there a better one I don't know of? Maybe a bit of visualization would be nice... but an equalizer and good playback are the priorities (currently having a bit of a problem with occasional skips on playback in all three players mentioned above).
What's everybody else using? Ideally I'd like something able to interact with the HTC Home music tab and the HTC W100 (I'm thinking about getting one).
Also, I was excited to find out about the HTC system-level equalizer. I guess it has problems with WMP but I couldn't seem to make it have an effect on any playback at all. Does it not work with the Kaiser/Tilt?
I use Pocket Music

1. CP is one of the best players CPU usage-wise, particularly if you use non-hardware (!!) equalizers.
2. not all HTC models are supported by the HTC Equalizer, as has also been pointed out in my related article. (And, in addition, it forgets its settings when a new song is started, unless you use a gapless player.)
3. I'll soon publish the Multimedia Bible. In there, I give you all a FULL picture of multimedia apps.

Looking forward to it! Any insight into my skipping problem?
It'd be great it the bible could also detail the pros and cons of the W100! I mainly like it for the microphone... have to remove my current adapter to answer a call... but I otherwise like my current one. It allows you to charge (or sync) while listening.
I love MortPlayer. It's got an equalizer and is skinnable. There is also a Today plugin (also skinnable).
I use it mostly for audiobooks in mp3 format. It can go to background when playing music and as far as I know it is still free. It supports a variety of media formats via plugins that can be added as needed. Highly configurable, it does do file association and what I like most, it has a sleep timer/alarm to music.
HI,
I am using full version of core player.
Its starts slowly and begins palying htc demo.
Then if asked to scan sd card it freezes. But if it scans individual folders, it performs fine. Can there be any file in the sd card that makes it freeze.
Will try Tcmp to see if it works.
I tried PocketMusic, TCPMP and Pocket Player. To me PocketPlayer has the best features, great sound quality and the new versions run without problems.

I think GS player is the best MP3, radio, and streaming audio player out there. it's a small app, doesn't consume memory, skinnable, equallizer, surround sound, echo, bass boost, many more options, and best of all....free!

I agree, GS player is the best overall per many previous polls here.

Real DSP code for EQ. Studio-quality reverb. Useful crossfeed (for headphone listening). You won't find any of that anywhere else - I don't mean toy implementations. Starts in one second with 1500 files ready to go: mp3, m4a (aac and alac), flac, wma. Perfectly gapless playback of live tracks for lame- and itunes-encoded mp3 and m4a (aac and alac), flac, and lossless wma. Perfectly gapless means absolutely no notice of the track change. Runs acceptably with all effects (reverb, eq, whatever) on a 170 MHz OMAP 730. Runs on a PXA310 at the lowest speed (speed step). Any display size, from 176x220 to 800x480. So on, and so forth. And it works on 2003 up to WM6; SP/WMStd, too.
Pics are probably temporary (nevermind the xp covers; the same on WM). There are a couple of movies available, too.

I only wish your stuff were available for non-US customers for purchase... I'd happily shell out the $25-$30 for it.

GSPlayer is pretty cool, but its CPU usage isn't very good and lacks a lot of important features (AVRCP, really good reverb etc.)

Just out of curiosity. Why would reverb be important?

Just listen to iPlay's reverb and you'll see ;-) You will LOVE it when used with headphones.
(Assuming you have access to their homepage. The vast majority of the world is banned from there - including my European ISP's. I can't even write a damn review of the trial version of the app because of this...)

Yes. Both screenshots are from the Conduits Pocket Player. The 1st is my version of a skin by Jimmer (posted at the conduits website) and the second is the new content browser with album art support available in v3.5. Strange you couldn't see it at their website. I just checked and they show it in the animated screenshots.
Hey,
I'm looking for a music player for my HD (so has to suggest WVGA) but I have quite a few needs so would be helpful.
If possible I would like it to have it's own independant volume setting outside of the Windows sound management (so I can leave it muted but still listern).
User interface is important to me, WMP would be great but the icons are small and I dislike having to press 'Play' after selecting a track.
If it works with 6.5's home screen that would be fantastic, I'm really enjoying it so any player that uses it would be a God-send.
Shuffle needs to be decent, I've had too many application only shuffle and play half my music, senseless programs.
Lastly it needs to NOT stutter when I use 6.5 lock. WMP does that and it drives me mad.
Note that I've tested: MortPlayer, PocketPlayer, WMP and have disliked all of them.
Any ideas?
If there is a problem can a mod pelase move this to another section if needed.
Try
Coreplayer or TCPM
Thanks anymore, I'm flexible . Is there a better place to post this?
Come on there must be more suggestions? Otherwise I'll post this in the development thread.
try gsplayer.
Any other suggestion, I use Coreplayer for videos and it's good. GSPlayer doesn't look very nice at all!
Hello. I've been trying out different media players on my XDA flint (X7510) which currently has the stock O2 ROM, and have had varying levels of success. Most of this post is about playing video files of verying format (.mpg .mpeg .avi etc)
TCPMP: I used this exclusively on my XDA Exec and rarely had any problems, but it seems to crash on many of my mpg files on the Flint. I've tried the original 0.72 cab, the 0.81 (which I don't think is official) and the 0.72RC1-recomp-03 cab which seems to work well on other WM6.1 devices. Of all these the 0.72 cab is the only one which will actually load.
Core player: From the same developers as TCPMP, this is their commercial app. It loads ok but I personally find the GUI ugly and confusing, the TCPMP interface is much cleaner and user friendly. Again, this app won't play all of the video files I've tried, so I guess more work is needed with codecs?
Pocket Player: This apps GUI is quite nice and navigation to files is easy with many helpful (anf finger friendly) menus to select content. Again, it couldn't play all of the media files I threw at it, but it didn't crash at all.
Summary.
I'm either going to have to convert any video files into a compatible format before watching on my Flint (which means I'm still not free of the PC) or keep searching for a truly versatile player...any suggestions?
Phil.

Pocket Player does not work on my x7510 at all. It kills all sound from the device and I must uninstall and soft-reset the device to even be able to hear any sound from other players (like WMPlayer or Core Player). I have installed and uninstalled it 4 times and the same thing happened each time.
I'm looking for a standalone AudioManager for the Topaz.
Standalone, so not in touchflo.
I've tried some, but without luck...
Very nice music program, works even when device is "off"
Good media players
Try coreplayer or mortplayer.
I cook my own ROM's, with Coreplayer cook in. In my previous cook ROM also AudioManager. Coreplayer is a nice videoplayer but not a nice musicplayer. The sound disappears when device turns in standby. AudioManager doesn't!
I've tried Mortplayer, when I put device in standby modus the program stops playing the music. So I did it with Windows Media, but this eats RAM.
Has no one a solution to use AudioManager? This program keeps playing music even it's in standy modus and eats not a lot of RAM.
Try S2P; google will find it.

Hi,
I would like to know which music player is best for playing music on HD?
I looking for someone good player as Ipod or as build on sence, good-looking and have good management also..
Please give me some tips..
THX
I prefer Kinoma Play.
Others you can try are Nitrogen, S2P, Pocketplayer, Mortplayer, Pocketmusic.
I use Kinoma Free Play. It's really good.
Nitrogen
Nitrogen is the best player!

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.
