I want to use the HTC music player to play my podcasts via BeyondPod. BeyondPod's internal player is set to Windows Media Player. You can change this to 'external' in which case BeyondPod uses whatever player is associated with the file format.
I presume there's a Windows registry setting that I need to change. Can someone point me in the right direction and also tell me what the HTC player exe is called and where it is?
Thanks
I just upgraded to the HD2 from the Touch Pro, but this problem occurred on both devices.
I have 5 playlists with 400+ songs in each. Last week these worked fine in WMP mobile. The day before yesterday, I installed a new 6.5.3 based ROM on the Touch Pro. When I clicked the same playlists, WMP mobile would stop responding. I didn't really bother try to fix this, as I knew I was changing phones soon anyway.
Today I got the HD2 and the same thing is happening on it. Stock O2 ROM.
WMP plays music fine when I use the library to go to all music. But the playlists cause it to crash. I have no idea why. Core player can open the playlists fine.
Anyone have any ideas? Why are these playlists suddenly causing problems in WMP mobile since upgrading WinMo on the Touch Pro or using the HD2?
Thanks
Maybe some corrupt music files?
Did you try playing from HTC's manila player?
The manila player also plays the individual songs fine. If I choose a playlist in Manila player, it appears empty.
Core player plays the playlists fine however. I have resynced the playlists on my PC and I performed a disk check on the SDHC card.
I don't get it
I have a HTC touch HD and the media player works fine on mine as well...it could be corrupt files...
I dont think its the HD2s fault either, since the same happened on the Touch Pro I had. The only thing they both share is a newer version of Windows Mobile, but that shouldn't cause it either. I have deleted and resynced the playlists, but still WMP crashes.
Also, the playlists work in Core Player.
Ok, so I opened one of the playlists in Notepad and deleted all the entries except for one song. When I then opened that playlist in WMP, it worked.
This problem is pretty complicated since it works for coreplayer...
Maybe just some code which is not used in coreplayer, but used in WMP, was corrupt.
Have you tried making new playlists?

I just formatted the SDHC card, and am now re-syncing everything. I've created a new smaller playlist and will try that out when its done.
I did edit one of the larger playlists down to about 20 songs before I formatted, and that opened fine.
What I really don't get is why this worked last week on my WinMo 6.1 Touch Pro. Same card, same files.
Pretty weird. But I can't help you any further.
I'm finished putting all my songs and playlists back now. The same thing is happening though.
I added a top 50 playlist, and that works fine. It's as if there is some limit that causes wmp to crash. But the same playlists worked on my non-updated Touch Pro.
I can't figure this out . I've tried everything I can think of. Reformatted the card and hard-reset the phone. Any player other than Windows media player than I've tried opens the playlists fine. Windows media player opens all music fine, and the smaller Top 50 playlist, but crashes on the others.
I much prefer wmp because of its ability to search the now playing list so well, aswell as the A2DP controls working while sense is enabled.
I wish I could get this fixed...
EDIT: Figured it out. Besides, screw using windows media player. S2p, Nitrogen, much more finger friendly. Thanks anyways.
I cannot sync my desktop WMP11playlist to windows mobile media player. This is how I accces and listen to online radio streams. Within WMP11 i have created many .wpl playlists files of various radio streams. I would like to sync these playlist of radio streams to my windows mobile. I want to be able launch windows mobile media player and be able to play the radio streams saved as playlist. Specifically, I have saved a sky.fm radio stream as a playlist in desktop WMP11 and it shows as a playlist in my playlist folder as "sky.fm (80's).wpl." Under playlist in WMP11 it shows this playlist as "sky.fm (80's)." I select the playlist, drag it to the sync bar and then select sync with device. Less than a second later it shows "sync completed." However, in the corresponding folder in my windows mobile nothign shows and thus I cannot play the .wpl playlist file with windows mobile media player. It does not appear to sync the playlist.
I thought I would try to copy over my desktop playlist folder with this "sky.fm (80's).wpl" file into my windows mobile device and the storage card. In both place I see this folder; however, when I slect the file to play, It says something to the effect of no program is asscoaited with that file type.
Why is this? Does the windows mobile media player not allow sycning of playlist between desktop media player and mobile? Is it because the mobile version cannot play/recognize .wpl? If so, then why does it say "sync completed" on the desktop side?
Any help would be appreciated or workaround. Also, I am aware of other apps that allow me to access radio streams for my mobile, but those do not meet a requirement i have. I save radio stream playlist because they allow me to access them via 7MC (media center), WMP11, and was hoping windows mobile media player. Thats my end goal.
Well, found the answer. Apparently windows mobile media playter cannot not play .wpl playlist files of streams that the dektop version saves.
I have been wondering if there is a way backing up playlist on stock music player, i am tied of recreating them every time i flash a new Rom. Sometimes i also wish that there was a way of syncing my playlist on windows media player either by air or data cable and then the player in my phone could just recognize them and off it plays the songs.
Hey people,
I'm having issues syncing playlists from my computer to my phone.
Been searching all over the net for a proper solution but no luck with this.
Here's my issue;
Basically when i sync playlists from my PC to my phone, it saves the playlists on my phone as .PLA format.
Now the only player that actually reads those playlists is my stock player.
I have tried several android players, but non of them will recognize the playlists.
On my PC for syncing i have tried
-WMP
-Winamp
-MediaMonkey
-DoubleTwist
All of these create playlists in PLA format on my device when transferring them, which wouldnt be a problem if i wanted to use the stock player.
As for android apps/media players i have tried:
-Cubed
-Winamp
-Mort Player
-Media PlayerPro
-Mixzing
-Astro Player
When i create a playlist using any of the apps on my phone, every other app is capable of reading them.
However, the playlist file can not be found on my phone, or my SD card. so i have no clue what format they are saved to, or where they are saved too.
I'm basically looking for a way to transfer my playlists from my computer to my android phone, and have the other apps actually read the playlists.
The phone im using is the Samsung Galaxy S.
Been trying to work this out for days now, but with no success what so ever.
So if there is anyone that has a clue on how to get this done properly, id appreciate it.
