what a good music player?

I would like to get a better music player for my htc mogul. I'm not too impressed with wmp. especially the playlist. thanks.

i like mortplayer with the itune skin
another option is winampaq or whats it's name which is pretty much old winamp from pc's (not very fingerfriendly though)

Tried PocketMusic, WMP, TCPMP and PocketPlayer for me is the best. Also, there are many other threads which have a lot of additional info and opinions. Here is one:

Pocket Player
For me, Pocket Player has turned out to be the best in terms of options and features, and control over sound quality.

Looking for alternate music player

Hi all,
I'm using CorePlayer as music player on my TP but I've discovered that if CoreP is running, everything else is working terrible slow.
If CorePlayer is plaing 128kbit mp3 and I'm working on opera there is a HUGE delay in keyboard response, menu speed and so on.
There is no similair lag when playing music on internal TP player.
Could you please recommend me some alternative music player which is less resource consuming than CorePlayer?
Regards
B.

I would recommend you Pocket Player. Finger friendly and i can usually read my ebooks while listening to music.

I'll try it - are you reading books on this PP or I misunderstand something ?
I'm using an old version of uBook reader which works fine for me
Regards
B.

WMExperts just did a comparitive article on some media players.
other alternatives could be: S2P (discontinued in the meantime but still a good app)
hope you find what you're looking for

yes I like pocket player for music and core player for music and videos

Err nope two seperate programs Pocket Player for music in the background and eReader.

Pocket Tunes is fine for me!

Pocket Player 3.7 slows down for me as well.
Even when the app is killed, it's still slow.
Nothing suspicious found in Task Manager.
Only way out = SOFT RESET

Why not just use WMP/S2P/Audio Manager? I seem to find that S2P does a very good job. I use WMP nowadays also with SRS WOW HD and Audio Booster. It does a good job once you find the right settings on audio. and I still love WMP's feature to lock the screen and use all the buttons, S2P can do that also

Music Player
I concur that Pocket Player is the best I have found after trying a number of different ones. Very user friendly & not too draining on resources...

[Request] Music Player To Match My Needs

Hey,
I'm looking for a music player for my HD (so has to suggest WVGA) but I have quite a few needs so would be helpful.
If possible I would like it to have it's own independant volume setting outside of the Windows sound management (so I can leave it muted but still listern).
User interface is important to me, WMP would be great but the icons are small and I dislike having to press 'Play' after selecting a track.
If it works with 6.5's home screen that would be fantastic, I'm really enjoying it so any player that uses it would be a God-send.
Shuffle needs to be decent, I've had too many application only shuffle and play half my music, senseless programs.
Lastly it needs to NOT stutter when I use 6.5 lock. WMP does that and it drives me mad.
Note that I've tested: MortPlayer, PocketPlayer, WMP and have disliked all of them.
Any ideas?
If there is a problem can a mod pelase move this to another section if needed.

Try
Coreplayer or TCPM

Thanks anymore, I'm flexible . Is there a better place to post this?

Come on there must be more suggestions? Otherwise I'll post this in the development thread.

try gsplayer.

Any other suggestion, I use Coreplayer for videos and it's good. GSPlayer doesn't look very nice at all!

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:

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.

Best music player?

What's the best music player for the hd2? Mine just hangs when I go to it! On the latest gtx energy rom
I left it for 20 min and it still hadn't loaded!

In my opinion the best one is POCKETMUSIC for FLAC and S2P for mp3

pocketplayer 4.0 / 4.1.
it roxx, and with SRS WOWHD even more.. u should try this
im audiophile, and i like it very much xD

Everyone's got their own favourite - there is no "best" one.
My fave is Nitrogen, especially since it can control bluetooth audio volume (which is pretty important to me, after spending £60 on some bluetooth earphones )

Yes, UR right... SRS WOWHD is very importand... combo with POCKETMUSIC roxx with of course good headphones (Crossroads Mylarone X3i, JBL 220, Phillips SHE9500 or JBuds J3 Micro Atomic)

Music Player
Pockettunes is my favourite as I listen to a lot of audio books and this has an automatic bookmark. Switch between books and it remembers where it left off. Has internet radio channels too. Plays with the unit turned off, bluetooth headset compatible. Give it a try
