how to improve Windows media player

I an using the later B&L 2.08.01 WindowsMobile 6 which is very good. The only thing that does not seem to work as well as WM5 is the media player. I have installed TCPMP which is much smoother than media plaer which is very jerky & with big lags between the sound & vision. is there any way to improve it or should I just stick with TCPMP.

I think it's safe to say TCPMP functions much better as a media player! i never use media player!

I like CorePlayer the most because of its very low CPU usage. However, there are a lot of other, great alternatives: iPlay, Pocket Player etc. Please read all my multimedia-related articles if you want to get a full picture of what each of these apps is capable of.

Give MortPlayer a shot
Install MortScript and play with Mortplayer.
Easy basic player not going nuts if you have gigs of music on your SD whith nice sound profiles (in case you don't use WOW-HD sound enhancement.

Thanks for the great info, it'll take some time to read up on all these and make a decision which one to try out first.............

lol. do you think, this is BESt one rofl? cmon dudes...
i cannot understand what HTC have done to ppc matter, and all these maniilla era kids too...it is just sad...
ignore, do not kick me, it is JUST observation.

S2U??? its crap.... ir could be great just because of how touch friendly it is but seriously i cant stand a media player without a good library and preferably a good playlist function....
unfortunately wmp kicks all other programs when it comes to library and playlist, just holding something and select add to playlist is so great, no other i have found can do that, but wmp stops playing music after phone calls
currently i use MortPlayer just because its "library" is good and it has the changer function so i keeps playing beyond the album i start listening too

IMO Pocket Player has the best library manage:scroll thru album arts ,fast database, etc.

i vote for new Nitrogen player

winamp
I use WinAmp apps, it's very good

I think so to

I use "UberMusic" as my primary mp3/music player. Tie it with the "Zune Skin" and you in my shoes.

Stock music player hands down.

I'm using power MP3
Sent from my HTC Desire HD

Use MIUI music player, it has wide features such as text playback with a timeline and shake-to-play-next function included.

I'll second Winamp I always loved them and I had always
used it on my computer.

+100 for winamp
best player I ever had on pc and now on my good old samsung captivate running ICS dark night ROM

Amp is great

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.

the best music player??

what is the best music player for windows mobile??
please someone answer my question. i've tried a lot of applications but i dunno what's the best.

S2P in my opinion.

in terms of functionality none of xdadev's trendy players can beat good old gsplayer and mortplayer.
in terms of sound control/quality 40thiplay is best one.
imo.

Conduits Pocket Player has been the most reliable player for me. Its power consumption is extremely low; it uses windows media player skins, winamp skins and pocket player skins; and also its extremely customisable.

Moved as not software release..
PocketPlayer

I'm asking, because i'd like to leave my ipod video 5g (30gb with rockbox) at home and buy a 16gb card for the hd2
any solutions?
greetz,

Install and use TCpMP player instead of HTC original music player. Works perfect with all kind of audio, video and pic files.

Is there any way to use remote control buttons in TCpMP ?

Let's visit Conduits website then, Thanks a lot man

Yes, but isn't there any way to make the plugins work with the original media player, because i really like the tab player of the HD2, fits better to the whole device than a third party player and I don't want to start installing millions of apps to be able to open each file, I mean isn't it better to find a way to make it more simple and don't have to full up the memory and the registry of the phone?

Bump... any way of integrating FLAC decoding into this nice-looking program?

i also would like more plugins ffor the htc player because the controls look realy good and it plays full screen. flv, divx, etc, etc, and even wmv would be nice. somebody please.
