i'm looking for a good mp3-player such as HTC Audio Manager, which I enjoyed on my Kaiser
unfortunately HTC forgot to install it on Diamonds and Touch Pros, so I tried the Windows Media Player, which ****ing SUCKS
no sorting in playlist and library, very small buttons and really aweful at all
the CorePlayer/TCPMP is a cool player, but has no library for sorting genres etc.
its buttons are too small as well imo
well, I tried to install the originally HTC Audio Manager (qvga), but it doesnt start - the taskbar shortly changes to "load rc fail" and nothing happens
so I installed Audio Manager VGA which I found around here, but the .exe doesnt work as well because of an error message about an unsigned security certificate
I even get this message, although I disabled the security policy in my Touch Pro's registry to ignore those warnings
I'd really like to get the HTC Audio Manager on my Touch Pro, but if you'll tell me, theres no possibility, it would be nice if theres another similar cool player which you suggest
Whats wrong with the built in player integrated with TF3D? If you select the left option and open the library you get all of the options like the old Audio Manager Program and the same functionlity just a modefied look to it. You can even use the "scroll wheel" thing to advance your songs time and other "iPod" like features similar to the old Audio Manager.
While I liked the old audio manager and the way it worked I like having it built into TF3D so I dont have to load anything to play my music, its already there, playlists and all.
It did take a little getting used to since they redid the UI but it works just a well for me.
I think PocketPlayer is what you are looking for.
HTH
i dont like to use the TF3D, so I disabled it
much thanks to DeepThought, the PocketPlayer is really nice!

Ah, makes sense, Pocket player is a good alternative, forgot about that one
Hi all,
I have an O2 stereo BT headset which is 1 year old. I used it with my prophet previously just fine with S2P. No problems when I press play etc.
Since using it on my Touch Pro, when I press play on it, both WMP/tf3d player would play simulatneously. I have to stop s2p. It is annoying to say the least. I would like to continue to use S2P than wmp/tf3d.
How come I'm having this conflict & what to do about it?
Thanks
Posted it here because I thought it may be a general question rather than a problem with S2P.
I have the same problem...
I am having the same problems and from the research it looks like the profile for the blue tooth is set to always call up Window Media. I have been using Mort Player with no issues on an older model S9 motorola stereo headset. Now with the new one no go!!! always calls up Windows Media.
I have tried different media players - looks like there was a version of pocket player 4 that bypassed this issue and cut off Windows media player. Unfortunately it jsut doesn't work for my Touch Pro 6.1 stock rom.
i am thinking if anyone out there can make this fix available it must be the XDA people...
Anyone have suggestions, hack, new profile that can fix this annoying issue??? Please???
i thought no body else had this issue but i'm sure other people have it as well.
thanks for the research. tried looking in the registry for a2dp profiles and wmp, but no luck.
Breaking news!:
Well, I never gave up, so I kept investigating how to use Pocket Player with E100/W100 RC and know what? Now all keys works wonderful without a glitch, but only if the the E100/W100 device is linked to Windows MediaPlayer, here's how:
1.Install Attached MP_HTCWMPPlug_061031.CAB
2.Install PocketMusic
3.Install Conduits WMP Plugin Adapter (get it in Conduits webpage)
4.Inside Pocket Player, go to Options - Plugins, enter Configure WM Adapter, and check "Close WMP before loading" and "Intercept/Override WMP", also check "HTC WMP Control Plugin", checking both workarounds inside seems to do nothing so I kept them unchecked.
5. Close/Reopen App
That's it, all keys work now, remember if your default player is HTC Audiomanager, you must first need to change it to Windows MediaPlayer (use AdvancedConfig or your favorite tool).
I've tried also Coreplayer, but the plugin system is not well implemented, it tries to work, but fails, let's hope CoreCodec fix it.
There are other players that support WM Plugins, I'll try to test them, share your experiences.
If you use WM6.5, you might need to change Windows Media Player to an earlier version that supports E100/W100.
I've tested it in several ROMs, works fine.
Note: For user of other platforms that use E100/W100 RC, this solution should also work for you.
Link to a Windows Media Player that support E100/W100 (for WinMo6.5):

Great work so far.
I installed your cab. I am using MORT PLAYER and what should I say....
following buttons are working now:
play/paused
forward/backward
green/red phone button
not working
volume
Thats for me nearly perfect
Just to be in the clear, this is for PocketMusic of PocketMinds and not for Pocket Player of Conduits?
*edit: apparently it was for Pocket Player of conduits
now i have 1 small problem, i have Touch Pro2 and it seems i can't change the default audio player =\
*edit 2: that was not necessary apparently
nice work, will be using this one asap.. again great find mate!
I'm using HTC Touch Diamond 2 (Topaz) with WM 6.1.
Volume Control with RC E100 on Pocket Player does not work! By pressing the butten nothing happens (good news is, WMP does not opens, but volume can not be controlled by PP, too).
Any additional settings I have to consider?
C. Paul
Just tested this on a Touch Diamond and it works almost perfectly! the only problem is that when adjusting the volume, it wakes the screen up. a little annoying if the phone is in ya pocket. havent been able to find a way around this. suggestions anyone?
btw, very nice work Drakh for finding this one out. since HTC Audio manager doesnt support songs downloaded from iTunes I have had to use Coreplayer for listening to music from iTunes, well not anymore. and to think i was almost going to throw away my e100 cos it never worked in coreplayer. glad i didnt now
what does the cab exactly do?

Yes.
I experience the same problem with HTC Diamond 2.
Play/pause forward/backward work.
But volume control doesn't.
How do you change default player?

Great news, I've been looking for this! On my Nike, I've managed to install the tools and keep the HTC audio manager from starting when I press play/pause, but I still can't get the PocketPlayer to play or pause music.

I havn't found this setting anywhere, not in AdvancedConfig nor by registry search. Do you have any tips on where to look?

I too would like to know how to set the default player. Can't find the setting in AdvancedConfig.
Thanks in advance.
HTC Touch DIAMOND
Windows Mobile 6.5.1 (EnergyROM)
Conduit Pocket Player 4.0 & 4.1
Conduits WMP Plugin Adapter 2.31
_______________________________
none of the buttons work, any press still opens WMP.
what version of WM and WMP Plugin Adapter did you use?
any new on this, i'm trying to make it work with CorePlayer, but everytime i press play it just open Windows media player.
And i'm not sure where to change the default music player thing, i have been looking in Advanced Config and TouchPro Tweak without any luck.
Has anyone been able to configure the WMPlayer plugin for Conduits PocketPlayer? I can get to the configuration screen but every single one of the checkboxes is "locked" - i.e. they don't respond to being clicked. They're not greyed out, just completely unresponsive
???

Use virtual keyboard: up, down, Enter.
If I use the virtual keyboard the phone freezes which I press the space bar to "click" an item (requiring a reboot)

Same problem, if someone has the solution to make E100 work with CorePlayer ?
I don'i know if this helps anyone but I write it anyway...
I have just disabled HTC Audio Manager using Diamonf TF3D Config.
Whenever I want to use Pocket PLayer I need to first start it manually and as long as it is started I have no problems what-so-ever using the RC-W100 remote. If I close Pocket Player manually or restart the phone I need to restart Pocket Player...
Sorry to bump this but havent found the solution.
The e100 plays well with Pocket Player after installing the WMP plugins.
However, you need to start Pocket Player manually as the previous author posted too. If Pocket Player is not running and you press the PLAY button, then the Audio Manager starts.
Although it is not the biggest problem in the world, I'd like to know if there is a solution to it.
Probably making WMP default player over Audio Manager? (although .mp3 files open by default with Pocket Player)
Anyone that found a solution?
Why there is no interest in this Thread??
I can´t figure out why there is so little interest in this topic, I use the remote a lot, and still have not found any way to fully integrate with other appz but WMp and Manila Player. Whith the time I learned to love the HTC audio manager (Newest cookie home screen integrated) But now I can´t make my W100 to open the HTC audio manager it only controls WMP.
Please, we need the expert to pay some attention here.
Thanks
I agree - the remote is so (potentially) useful for listening to music when the phone is in a pocket etc, which I do alot.
I think is should be the correct forum for this. If any of you use core player, nitrogen, pocket music, or whatever, you'll notice that windows media player often hijacks your bluetooth controls. I've noticed this in quite a few pre cooked roms, but not when I cook my own using the kitchen. Is this a bug or a feature of the chefs and can it be disabled?
What you want is a stock "BTHCI.DLL", if i recall correctly

To clarify what Da_G just said . . .
Da_G said:

the stock BTHCI.DLL for WM 6.1/Raphael does as you describe. WMP is always controlled by AVRCP, no matter what player you're using (unless it's HTC Music Player). The modified BTHCI.DLL that Da_G provided for WM6.5 corrects that "issue" by allowing other media players to access AVRCP control. However, this breaks the AVRCP functionality of HTC Music Player.
If you prefer to use the 6.5 BTHCI.DLL file, I made a cab install of it:
T-Back 6.5 BT Driver.cab
Thanks to Da_G for providing the updated driver!
P.S. The reason you don't have the issue when cooking in Da_G's 6.5 Kitchen is because Da_G included it in the "Mods" folder.
wow man, you guys rock. Thanks G and thank you captain for the cab. You guys and this community just make every visit fantastic. Thanks a lot for this. Windows media player was driving me nuts.
I have a Sprint Touch Pro and was a little frustrated that I couldn't use the AVRCP controls from my BT8010 with my favorite mp3 player Pocket Music. When I found this thread, I was excited to use the T-Back 6.5 BT Driver and it worked very well! The play/pause and skip/next features work well within PocketMusic! However, now in order to get the audio to play through my bluetooth headset, I need to go to my Bluetooth settings and disconnect then connect my BT8010 before it works.
Has anyone run into this problem too?
Caption_Throwback, You are my Hero!!!!! I have been without AVRCP controls since last May. I use Pocket Player, as it has many controls that I need, but I've been frustrated by their lack of support on this problem.
I will be sending you $$ tomorrow morning.
Wendy, now in N. Calif, but a Bristol Gal born & raised!
Da_G & Captian_Throwback, YOU GUYS are True PPC PIMPS..
Thanks....
thank you for this!
it this "only" for WM6.5?
would be nice for WM6.1 too
Works on 6.1

I'm on an at&t fuze, WM6.1, works like a charm. I mean, all the time, everytime. I use Pocket Player from Conduits for my media player. I have Forward xx seconds and Pause/play again. Life is Good! ps, I don't use Windows Media player, so can't say if it works or not.
you are so right - thank you so much
Thanks for this cab file - I've been looking for an answer for this for ages!
I've installed the cab and bt headset no longer starts up wmp, but still cannot get it to control Coreplayer - do I need to set it up somehow elsewhere, like ACRCP app, and if so, what settings should I use?
Many thanks

It works fine with CorePlayer for me without doing anything. Did you soft reset after installing the cab and/or restart CorePlayer?
Yes mate - done all that. I am using Energy rom 6.5
Maybe I'll try reinstalling Coreplayer or something
Just found this thread and wondering if it will help me. I am presently using NRG's energy ROM for the touch diamond 2 (6.5)
Since going to the 6.5 ROM, BT control only links to WMP but I want it to link to HTC Audio Manager. Will this cab have the desired effect?

Sorry, dont know too much about this but you say it breaks the functunality for htc audio player - it is already not responding to this program. My aim is to disable windows media player funtionality and then somehow create a link to htc audio manager. It probably cant be done but this is one of the few posts I have found that offered a glimmer of hope.
hope they resolve the issue on future ROMs

Unfortunately, you can't have it both ways .
The BT driver included in the ROM you're using is the same one posted in this thread as a cab. It enables AVRCP for all other players (and prevents WMP from launching when trying to use AVRCP controls with another app), but doesn't work with the HTC Music Player. The "stock" BT driver will restore the AVRCP functionality of HTC Music Player, but if you want to use a player other than that one or WMP, then AVRCP won't work at all; it'll simply launch WMP.
P.S. Just to clarify - with the stock BT driver, WMP does NOT override HTC Music Player AVRCP control. So if that's all you're trying to accomplish (for it to behave as the stock ROM), that is doable.
Can you make one for TOPAZ?
Thanks

UDK RC4
To all cooks, in all of the most resent roms with WM6.5 or WM6.1 running TF3D 2.0/2.1 or higher the audiomanager doesn't work with avcrp (bluetooth remote control) so I have to get my phone out of my jacket when I want to go to the next song, my remote control doesn't work. I'm aware that this is a bug in the audiomanger, but is there anyone who have fixed this yet? I'm absolutely not a fan of wmp or other players, and I'm stuck with some old wm6.1 version where avcrp still works.
Does anyone has a solution for this?
Edit; CR192 Touch HD™ V6.5.0.0.2 has a new engine `Audio Manager Engine ( LEO )´ which works, maybe other rom cooks can use this aswell to get avcrp up and running
Hello!
I have same problem, i think the bug is in wich program has to answer to remote button presses. I think wmp and manilla audio manager are both answering to buttons on remote and all music playback goes to hell
Usualy when i press play/pause button audio manager starts to play song and wmp is starting in the background, then music starts to shater and in while all comes to hold
To listen to the music via bluetooth i disabled music tab in manilla, and im using wmp
BHole
I believe this should solve your issue. Except, if you Plan on using MSVC, make sure you install that first then the cab, that's only if you don't have it already in the ROM.
AVCRP fix
Here is a cab that i been using. and it works like a charm
Thanks for your reply's, I'll try to flash a new rom when I'm home with one (or booth) of the cabs. I'll let you know if it worked
