iTunes' DRM free music wouldn't play on the music tab of my htc touch diamond, but it did play in other players. I suppose other people have problems too, so I've decided to post this
I've searched the forums and used google but couldn't find an explanation or fix. Today i've found a free program that formats the AAC wrapper, so that the file will play in all m4a players.
It's called: PutPinfInItsPlace. Full description here
It's a little java app, works with OSX and Windows.
According to the author, it doesn't do anything with the music, it just removes a tiny piece of the m4a wrapper that causes problems in some players. It also makes a backup of the original file before altering.
It works great! I can finally listen to all my iTunes music without recoding the files.

Hi!
Can somebody confirm that this works?
My Brother has a Touch HD with Duttys WM6.1 image. It does not play a m4a directly from itunes and not the "fixed" one.
Bye

Hi all,
I've been searching through the forums for the possible video players available for my TP. I've so far only found two (other then windows media player).
Core player http://www.coreplayer.com - Which from the site seems to play a decent amount of file types. Have not heard performance wise how this stands up. Also unfortunately has a cost associated.
Divx player http://labs.divx.com/MobileCommunity- Which I've looked at and is by no means a one player fits all. Only can play divx files.
Are there any other players out there that are free that are a one-stop-shop?
Or are their codecs for the windows media player? (have not been able to locate any)
Thanks
TCPMP was the open source media player that spawned the Core Player.
I think you can still get it. Sure its probably not up to date like Core Player, but it does play everything you need it to play.

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.

How do I play other video formats? Also i cannot go to youtube and view those videos either, or videos in general such as those from lorouchepac.com in the LPACTV sections.
Doesnt seem to want to play MP4s or anything.
Playing video on a 6800 mogul.
Harris,
Go on, search, download and install "TCPMP" media player. It will play lots of media types. There is an associations list so you can set what types of media you want it to work for. It will work before Windows Media player if you have one set for this. If you want WMP to work instead, uncheck the box for the particular file type. Also, you can download an application from Youtube to play the videos from the phone. Mine works quite well. hope this helps.

Hi, I've got a HTC Touch HD (Blackstone). I'm looking for a free application that can play FLAC audio files.
The inbuilt music player (in TouchFlo 3D) and the Windows Media Player recognise and play normal mp3s fine.
I have tried GS Player
http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA032810/
but I didnt like the interface and still couldnt get it to read my FLAC files.
Can someone help me please?
PocketPlayer can play FLAC it's not free but well worth the price considering features.
Use TCPMP player, it's great for flac files
Look here:

I copied some FLAC files to be sim card but I cant even see them. When I open ASTRO I cant even see them? How do I play FLAC? I am trying to use WinAMP.
Hi folks,
I've been trying a couple of ROMs to breathe new life into my old Tornado Noble, but have run into a problem with Media Player 10. Same issue on WM6 Platinum SP1 and Gregory's 6.5.
Some music tracks just will not play. I used the desktop media player to sync them (all mp3) with no issues, i've tried re-coding them to 128Kbps, and copying them over, but the same tracks just give an error. They play fine on all the PPC versions of media player mobile, just not on this smartphone version.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any pointers!
*I re-coded to WMA128k and everything plays, which i'll use as a workaround. But, i'd still like to find out why MP10 has difficulties with some mp3s and not others (same album).

perhaps it is because the source filter for WMP was not loading properly! you try it with this application, maybe it can fix and do too little change in the registry like this -> [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\ UIPlugins\{D7D08B8C-E755-4fa9-8E79-139FA379E00E}]
"FriendlyName"="HTC WMP Control Plug-in"
"Description"="HTC WMP Control Plug-in"
"Capabilities"=dword:0 --> change it to = 1
after that soft reset your device....
Thanks for the effort Hakim, but that didn't help. WMP just seems determined not to like mp3s.

Really? then you should try to use the application free MP3/MP4/M4A/AAC/WMA/WAV/M3U/PLS/ASX v0.83 S2P player. It simply lets you browse your music files play &. It is fully integrated with S2U2; & supports A2DP AVRCP &.
go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556885 to get it
Not sure if S2P (Slide to Play) will work on a smartphone without touchscreen. You may wish wish to check out tcpmp as well. Commercial products are also Coreplayer or PocketPlayer.
There may also be something weird with these special MP3 that don't work. Can you find anything in common for those that do not work? Lookup some mp3 checker program with Google. You could also upload a faulty track here (or at mediafire or alike) so we can check that with our devices/ROMs?
