Im after a Sat Nav solution that has an integrated Music Player.
Firstly, can this actually be done?
Secondly, if so, why doesn’t Copilot/Navigon have it?
I bought Copilot, but now I stream my music via A2DP to my stereo and the music doesn’t quieten when direction voices are spoken and so its all the same level and it can be difficult to hear.
Ta for any info
Level Fix
I had the same issue, but downloaded the audio manager widget. It allows you to control the different volume levels of your device. that should allow you to tweak the settings to your liking.
Mate,
thats agreat workaround. top suggestion.
im jist waiting for my newstereo and i can give it a proper go.

Hi!
I'm using my Touch Pro in conjunction with an A2DP enabled car kit to stream MP3s to my car radio.
Unfortunately when I use the prev or next button on my carkit the (sucky) Touch Music player responds to them, instead of the (not so sucky) Pocket Player, which I prefer to play my MP3s with.
Does anyone have any suggestions on this?
Thanks!
Same here. The Pocket Player guys over at the Conduits forum are looking for a solution...
I have the same problem. You can not use the pause/play avrcp buttons to control the player. If you try to pause any player you will accidentally start up the wmp.
I guess we have to wait for a new rom or program that can reconfigure the avrcp controls

I have the same problem, too! Help needed! I'm using the funkwerk dabendorf ego look hands-free system. http://www.fwd-online.de/content_manager/page.php?ID=17780&dbc=40e5f956c20fc998358f90e2240b457d
yup even if u disable touch flo 3d then it just opens media player, pretty annoying
Hi,
I don't know how to change the defaultplayer but it is possible. I like my A2DP to use the Touch Player.
However I had to reset my device to the factory settings because A2DP didn't use the Touch Player anymore, but only used Windows Media Player.
Therefore my conclusion that it must be possible to make A2DP use another application.
When I was looking on how to change back the A2DP to Touch Media Player a lot of people on the forums suggested to make sure that the application that you want to use is the default player for MP3 files.
So what applications opens when you click on a MP3?
Regards,
AJ

At http://headsetbutton.com/ you can get app which allows us to use wired headset controls in majority of audio players (not only Windows Mobile player and Sense audio player but also Nitrogen, Pocket Music, TCPMP...)...

Greetings.
I decided to write this post after hours and hours spend trying to find a solution for one pretty simple thing.
I want to be able to listen music on my HD2 on audio player that isn't standard one that comes with Sense UI (i have clean rom without Sense UI) and to be able to control that audio player with my wired headset buttons. I know that wired headset controls work ok with built in Windows Media Player for PPC but that peace of software is in my opinion totally useless.
If we ignore its totally finger unfriendly skin and menus (i even made pretty good one finger friendly skin just to give that software a chance http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=634613) and the most stupidest way of making playlists, the most annoying is, if you didn't noticed, is that it fills up most of available program memory (on my device only 30mb is left free and it spend over 120mb) when one load dozens of mp3 files in player (via open file menu) !??? So i decided to tray with other audio players and the best of them for my needs were Nitrogen (which is free) and PocketMusicPlayer (it costs). But on my surprise wired headset buttons don't work with either of them and i can't find a solution to make them work.
I found app that made that possible on older devices (like Diamond and HD1)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=498349
but they have wired headsets with only one button (play/pause/call) and wired headset on HD2 has three buttons (next, play/pause and previous button)...
It's to big project for me but i saw excellent developers on this forum so maybe one of them can make this idea to life...
What are your thoughts ??
Not an answer to your question, but since you said...

I have to point out that you really shouldn't be putting music on your device memory. That's what the storage card is for. That would solve your "most annoying" problem immediately!
Maybe you get me wrong with this. I tried to say that, for example, when i load folder with 50 mp3 files in Windows media player it somehow pre-cache those files and fill most of free mem of device (not STORAGE memory but PROGRAM memory). Files are of course physically located on storage card...
No interests for this topic !!??
No one wants to use its original wired earphones to listen music on Nitrogen or other non-default Sense audio player and to be able to controle it with earphones buttons...

I have normalized the volume on all of my mp3 files using the MP3Gain application on my PC. This applies a factor to the file telling the music player how to adjust the volume for each mp3 so that they will all play at the same level. Otherwise, you get the problem that every mp3 starts at a different volume and you have constantly adjust the level.
Most well-designed music players will use the gain settings and make the level adjustment, but the stock music player on the Captivate seems to ignore the settings.
So, my questions are:
1. Does anybody know how to make the stock music player play nice with the gain settings?
2. Otherwise, does anybody know if there are other players which will use the gain settings.
Also, is the Captivate player a skinned version of the standard Android player? If so, does the standard player pay attention to the gain settings? If so, then maybe there's a hidden setting that will make it work on the Captivate. Anybody who's knowledgeable about this, please jump in.
It would be nice if an Android music player supported ReplayGain, yeah; I'm not sure if any do. It certainly would have to be a third-party music player. The only way to make the stock music player respect this would be to actually normalize the files instead of having ReplayGain tags. The downside, of course, if that this irreversibly changes the actual music files, themselves.
Can someone tell me why in PowerAmp there is a 'Folders' button and 'Library' button.
I'm pretty confused by the interface and the app itself and how to use the folders/library and which is for what and how it should be used.
All my songs I put on the phone appear in the 'Folders' menu, but none of those songs appear in the 'Library' which really seems to be more of a sensible place for them to appear because the Library has all songs, artists, playlists etc and seems to be the normal area for the app to store its music.
I have no idea how to get the music in there which is where I want it.
When I am playing a song it shows the artist and title and below it a folder path location? But why? It's like a path of where it is on the phone's SD card and the path of where it was on the computer. I don't need this information in the player view.
Also, I have to have my volume on max to hear anything decently despite being told PowerAmp helps the issue of the low media volume with the default audio player. (Sennheiser CX870s). Anyone know why/how to get the volume working more 'normally'? (Desire HD)
Any tips are appreciated.
Any other good music player app suggestions are appreciated.
Never encountered this with the default music player (where the audio is not loud enough).
I use the full version of Power Amp (no difference from trial) and it works great for me because I find the stock music player sorely lacking, leaving a lot to be desired.
You could try messing with the equalizer, I don't have my phone on my person at the moment so my advice isn't as solid as I'd like...
Have you tried another music player such as DoubleTwist?
(look up on market place; i can't post links yet )
I use a pair of $50 Sony MDR EX85LP earbuds, they're great for the price and on my Droid X they are plenty loud for my tastes, could it possibly be the earbuds or specific piece of music you are listening to?
If what I mentioned doesn't help my last piece of advice would be to try and find some sort of digital amp that would amplify your music, or an actual pocket amp.
Sorry I forgot to say the volume issues is regarding the HTC Desire HD.
Thanks mithikx I'll check out DoubleTwist.
Anyone else who can answer my OP questions, that would be great
PowerAMP has both features for, well, convenience. A lot of people who're really into their music like to organise it themselves, with a folder structure of their choosing - eg. they might have it separated by genres, or by what mood the music reminds them of, or what place they like to play the music in. The 'Folders' tab gives you the same actual folder structure as is on the SD card, I find it quite handy myself, it makes a lot more sense to me because I can specify the structure any way I choose, much easier than making playlists.
The library, on the other hand, is just like PowerAMP tells you when you first tab to it - it's the default Android media library, and is managed by Android, not PowerAMP. It's the traditional media player structure, and sounds like that's what works best for you. If files aren't showing up in the library, you need to get the default Sense media player (Assuming you're on a stock DHD build) to scan that music, because in theory it shouldn't be showing up in the Sense player if it's not in the PowerAMP library. Try restarting the phone, unmounting/remounting the SD card, or downloading a widget that lets you trigger a media scan.
As for the volume, have you tried boosting the 'pre-amp' in the PowerAMP equalizer? The only other media player I'd recommend would be Winamp, don't like DoubleTwist myself.
Hope this helps.
Hi
I really do like powerAmp a lot. Specially the folder option, since I can play the music in the exactly order I put in the memory without needing to create a playlist. I tried the trial version an I was about to buy it , but then I found the SRS enhancement option on the default HTC Desire HD player and I really like how the music sounds with that option.
Does somebody know if this feature is or would be available on a future version of poweramp? Are these SRS enhancement and the other option Dolby mobile just digital equialization settings that maybe can be reproduce on the poweramp amplifier, or there is something more that is done by hardware or only possible to be done by HTC?

I don't see it happening honestly. SRS Labs licenses their technologies, which would make PowerAMP more expensive than it already is. You can probably mess around with the EQ to make the sound similar to SRS I bet.
Hello everyone
I needed to know something about ducking or pusing music during notifications and map navigation with voice
Im using Jetaudio plus and it does not have the option to duck music instead of pausing it like rocket player does.
Even common, simpler and free audio players do this. They duck the music instead of pausing it.
Is there a workaround or app or something i can use?
Please help me
Ive posted this problem on both the free and paid versions of jetaudio for quite some time now, but it seems I am being ignored
Thanks
help me understand something.. what the heck is ducking? referring to ducking music..
Ducking is when youre hearing music and if u get a notification, the music volumes goes out of focus, it drops to a low value so that the notification sound or map navigation voice has the audio focus. But in no way, does the music pause. It then again comes back to focus after the notifcation or voice navigation is finished
was i clear ?
Anyone?
Bump
Hoping to find a solution
