So, my first few attempts at customising the orbit 2: I installed the htc home plugin, a better looking calculator, and a shortcut screen that allows me to select new contact/sms etc. I also added the htc tsk so it all looks better. Thanks to all the chaps and chapettes that helped with advice/links.
The only one thing I can't figure out in the home plugin, is how to make the music player tab launch the music player rather than windows media player. Any idea how I can change this?
The home version I added is 2.1: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-htc-home-plugin-v2-1.html
Thanks to those who helped me to get my TP to recognise my 8gb (original) Sandisk SDHC.
I synchronised my TP with Media Monkey and copied over about 30 albums to the Card. My problem is that whilst my TP sees the card when I select the music player I only get the 4 pre-installed music files. All those albums I have on my card are not accessible.
Anyone any ideas what I am doing wrong?. All help gratefully received.
P.S
I have tried a soft reset but still no joy.
you need to put your music in a certain loction i think...

I just have mine in a folder named "Music" on the memory card. I don't think the location matters, it should just search for them all and add them. Try changing the library location in Media Player on the phone to the storage card, by default its set to the device memory, where those 4 tracks are kept.
Once you add any media to your phone, or SD, simply use Media Player to locate the files. I just use the "Update Library" option in MP, and it will pick up everything regardless of its location. Once updated, you should see it in Media Player, and in the Music tab on the TF3D interface.
Good luck.
Thanks
I bypassed TP 3d screen and went to WM player and updated library.
Now the albums are viewable in TP 3D FLO. HOWEVER.
in TP 3D Pro at the front end only the "now playing" songs are scrollable. There appears to be no option so it scrolls through the albim art by album. It does this by song. Given that I have an 8GB card I have put 40 albums on with nearly 1000 songs. When I use the home screen and the scroll to Music Player I see the album art of 1000 songs and can scroll through each song brining up the album art associated with each song.
Is there a setting so that when I scroll to music player from home screen tomusic player, when I select this it shows "albums" not "now playing" as otherwise I am flipping through album art of 1000 songs in A-Z order.
I just cannot see a setting to use album rather than now playing as the screen when music player is scrolled to and selected from home TP 3d Flo.
I hope that makes sense.
Okay i've had similar problems with music not showing up in the touchflo player so eventually have found this method...
I sync my music to the phone using Windows Media Player. (Make sure that your library has only what you want to sync in it! And sync to the card not the internal memory! Is it me or is this software somewhat illogical))
Then opened windows media player on the phone from the applications icon and did an update library command from the 'menu' button bottom right.
Then had to do a soft reset with button on bottom of phone otherwise touchflo player sticks at searching!
Go to touchflo player which shows 'now playing' screen. Select 'all music' (bottom left below icons). New icons are now 'now playing' 'artists' 'albums' 'playlists' 'all songs' 'genres' 'composers' . All the organisation I could possibly need.
Hope this helps.
Hello,
last week I found a program which can associate any button on the screen with another program you can choose. But I cant find it anymore.
Is it possible to assign to the Music tab (TF3D Music Player) with the Slide 2 Play player?
I mean, when I click the Music tab, S2P will start instead of the TF3D Music Player.
Is it possible?
That would be cool. I would like to try this too.
...but how to do this?
Is there a regestry entry, i can change to launch the S2P Player instead of the TF3D Player?
Hey, ive been using spb mobile shell 3.5 on my HTC TyTn II for quite a while now and since the start of my use i have not been able to get the wmp widget to work. everytime i click the play or playlist button on the widget it directs me to the wmp then i play a song, when i go back to the widget it is blank then when i press the play or playlist button again it takes me to the now playing button and it happen over and over again. Please help it would be good to actually use the widget rather than it being like a shortcut. Thanks
P.S WMP=windows media player
Hi,
Is there any way to configure which music application will launch when I press music buttons on my htc headphone (the ones which came with phone).
I'm running ViperS 1.0.1 ROM and have 3 music apps installed TTPod, Google Music and HTC Music. Currently the buttons launch TTPod even when I'm listening music on HTC music player and TTPlayer is not even running.
None of these apps are set up as defaults.
I tried to search around but couldn't find anything useful.
