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!

Does anyone know of any tweaks/ hacks/ xda-developers working on adding an auto-resume or a bookmarking option on top of Windows Media Player? Is this really hard to do? I'm surprised no one has worked on something like that yet.
Also, are there any free/ low resource-intensive media player applications that can play DRM-protected WMA files? My problem is a basic one: Conduits Pocket Player and some of the other "robust" media players are too much for me. They have more features than I ever use, and are way too resource-intensive for my little Wizard. I'm just trying to listen to audiobooks on my Wizard while working out, and hate having to locate my spot every time.
Thanks much for any help/ guidance/ suggestions.
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

Err nope two seperate programs Pocket Player for music in the background and eReader.
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...
Hey, everyone!
So I've been using the Fuze for a while, and while I'm very impressed with how well it plays music (the last exposure I had to listening to music on a phone was not a good one...), I'm a bit bitter about the shortcomings I've run across on the simpler things. I wonder if anyone here could answer these questions:
* Does anyone know an app or background service that lets me adjust volume with the screen OFF? It's a bit inconvenient to have to unlock the phone every time I want to adjust the volume.
* Does anyone know of a lean and mean music player that supports gapless playback AND has at least a basic library that isn't slow? I tried Pocket Player (horrible library performance), Kinoma (no gapless and horribly laggy), S2P (great library, but graphics were distracting and no gapless), HTC's built-in player (pretty good, but no gapless) and Windows Media (need I say more?) and all of the other apps I've heard about don't catalog music.
Thanks!

for ur first question i HIGHLY doubt theres an app unless u have S2U2 as an unlock app, then u can change the settings where u can change the volume without unlocking
for ur second question, try nitrogen player, never tried it but i heard alot of good reviews for it http://www.dewantoro.net/search/nitro+player+WM
the only i use on my TP for music was the TF3D player and i havent experienced any problems with it, but give nitrogen player a try...
Libraries are going to be slow if you have a large collection. Try TCPMP or mortplayer-they use a file explorer instead of a library. The downside is that you can't play genres or all your music. You need to make playlists.
PocketPlayer has gapless playback and many other features. The only problem is that it is not integrated into manila.
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.
I am looking for an Android player that is pretty simple but i do not see why its so hard to find?
All I want is something that lets me play MP3's.. that does not scan the entire device (ringtones always seem to show up and I dont want them to)
something that kinda roots itself on the SD Card in a folder like "Music"
with a nice home screen
AND
somethign that will resume the next time it's open. for some reason the media player that comes with my Captivate seems to wants me to start all over when i dont use it for 30 min or so..
simple?
thanks for the advise

PowerAMP. It's in the market, and has a really nice EQ setup in addition to what you're talking about. It's in beta right now.
http://power-amp.info/
thank you, Downloading and testing this now. I will keep you posted on my impression!
There is one in alpha
Try this one. It pulls data in from the music folder and allows for pause, fast forward and rewind. However it is still in alpha...
Meridian player has most of the features you are after such as Folder browsing and resuming Videos. Plus it has decent widget also

+1 for Power Amp
Player pro does the folder playing and is very simple, got some nice widget aswell
MortPlayer is another nice light alternative that meets your criteria. There is also a version of MortPlayer specifically for audiobooks that allows you to make bookmarks in your sound files.
I actually use both PowerAMP and MortPlayer: PowerAMP for general music listening and it's very pretty UI, and MortPlayer for listening to long recordings of lectures so that I can consistently come back to where I left off.
