hello,
i'm looking for a smartphone alternative to mortplayer - since mortplayer without touchscreen is not usable.
it should at least have a wake and sleep feature - like mortplayer.
does anybody know one ?
thanx.
The best Smartphone MP3 player is Conduits' Pocket Player :
http://www.conduits.com/products/player/
I don't know if it does everything you're looking for but you can check out the features on the product homepage.
MortPlayer based on GSPlayer.
You can try the GSPlayer version for Windows Mobile 6 Standard devices.

i just got that player recently because it looked really good. and im also impressed with the features, but it takes heaps of ressources! its almost impossible to to anything at the same time when listening to music.. are there any settings to change? i dont know anything about all that buffer stuff
heeeelp plzzz!!
Anyone ever think of creating an audio player that emulates the iphones 'album art' mode? I think thats an awesome feature and amazed nothing similar as been imitated.
Check this out:

Dont even think there is a current audio player that incorporates album art of the songs being played, is there? was hoping there was one out that looked like this:
http://mylostblog.altervista.org/?p=79
but that skin apparently doesn't even allow album art, something similar would look awesome.
Hmmm, audio players for the smartphones, there arn't many! There is a however cover flow developments (only for ppc thou), an iphone coverflow like program is discussed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358049&highlight=PictureFlow. It works really well scrolling images, but no one yet has to implement this into an audio player, and I can see it going to touchscreen first, then over to our smartphones. If one gets created at all that is. So far i've stuck with tcpmp for videos and a skinned version of wmp for music. There is a nice version of Pocket Player thou, which shows you your album art (very small picture of it in the corner), but nothing that matches an iphone, as yet anyway. It's all we can do for now lol. If I find anything I will post it thou.

appreciate it! everyones been telling me about a nicely skinned pocket player one, would you have a link on how it looks? does pocket player use less resource than WMP10? i hope someone does work on a player with album art, just makes the whole thing look a whole lot better .
WMP can show album art, just load it with PC version of WMP and then copy the whole folder into your phone.. In Dr. Martin Gonzo's ROM thread you can see some screenshots

now thats exactly what i was hoping for, it looks awesome. mind you its still in development and so i contacted teh developer to see his vision on the final product. i'll keep you updated, but theres a small video in the thread, check it out, something we should keep our eye on.
Hi,
Anyone know of a better media player than windows or the one supplied on the phone?i`m looking for one that will go louder if possible.Or is there a way to make the phone volume go louder,and make my music player louder?.
cheers ,Neil
Look for CorePlayer. The best bet.
Try to search... There are tons of software like this.....
Try this One .its only a trial for 30 days .. will do the thing . wery good lots of functions, Shine look and bass boost (its reminds me winamp) i got it just while . but i prefer it . way better than wm player and audio manager ... If you find crackd version let me know Cheers
I like the music player in Sense and I also quite like the look of S2P (although the lack of any treble and bass controls means it's a non-starter for me) but I'm looking for a decent alternative with a good finger-friendly UI. I have tried numerous other media players but hardly any have a suitable interface for non-stylus use. In these I include PocketPlayer and PocketTunes. I tried Nitrogen but for some reason the slightest adjustment on any of the frequencies results in distortion.
Any suggestions?
I'm just up to my neck in suggestions here!
I use on an everyday basis Pocketplayer from conduit. It's very good and full of options: podcast, equalizer, internet radio, media guide. It's not free but it worth it.
I tried that out but it's clearly designed for a stylus. It also didn't look right on 6.5.x and the bottom of it's window sat over the bottom toolbar. I was thinking more along the lines of a music application specific to the HD2 or suitable for WVGA capacitive devices at least.
I was looking at Nemo player on the Android. Something like that would be ideal.
I'd also like a good music player that has an ecxellent equalizer because the audiobooster keeps being buggy
I remember seeing something somewhere about SRS WOW or something like that, i don't know if that's just an equalizer or a media player, some clarification would be nice.
I would strongly recommend SRS WOW as an alternative to Audiobooster. This would allow you to use S2P (or any other stand alone player) and maintain high end equalization.

Why don't you try the finger-friendly version of TCPMP?

Worked great when I tried it on the floor model HD2 at T-Mobile.

I don't rate SRS WOW at all, I have used it previously on the HD2 and other Windows Mobile devices in times past. I'm quite an audiophile and, despite tinkering with it for hours, I couldn't get a sound I liked with it, eventually getting one frequency sounding good resulted in other frequencies becoming overpowering or near silent. I also think the 3d effect is ridiculous.
Without any hesitation... Kinoma Play
It's really the best music player. Sound quality is perfect and the interface is absolutely amazing.

It's a paying soft, but it's worth the price.

How is it's equalizer?
I tried Kinoma Player, it seems to be a jack of all trades master of none to me. It also looks a bit crap and blurry on the HD2 as they have no WVGA skins for it. Not overly impressed and not what I'm looking for.

This has no sense. You are saying that you are looking for a decent alternative with a good finger-friendly UI.
Obviously Kinoma has probably the most finger-friendly interface of all. You may not love it for some reasons but I'm pretty sure it's better than S2P for instance.
Very difficult to understand what you are looking for exactly. Finally I don(t understand the purpose of your thread. Just test all the audio players available on the market and chose the one you like. It does not deserve a specific thread. That's all mate.
I use Nitrogen
Hi there really interesting post!
I need a good player too, cause 70% of time spent with Hd2 is for play music
but it's difficult to find a serious and stable solution, they seem all to young software..
htc audiomanger
+beautiful and default
-no alphabet scrolling bar,difficult to import playlist without wmp11-12, it search for all mp3 on storage, ringtones too (solved with reg twaek)
Pocket Player
+the best in general,scrolling ,playlist,nowplaying,albumart.. (haven't tryed with 10 gigas jet)
-some bug-now fixed skin on 6.5.x-, i can't open my mediamonkey playlist after sync!!i'm trying to solve but.. damn. and waiting 4.2!
S2p
+overall, best free alternative, good extended options with S2U2, it read mediamonkey imported playlist with no problem
-false now playing list,too laggy interface on hd2..
Nitrogen
+so nice..
-but so young too , no playlist, buggy excution ...
Kinoma Play
+ it seems to have a really good a stable base system
- but music it's only part of too many services, already installed on hd2..
This is my experience, there are also other player but i think the upper are the best. The problem is that i still not have a definitive solution for mp3...
An mp3player must be able to import playlists from pc for me, i have too music and it's unusefull play all the imported tracks toghether..or recreating them manually on device..
Solving sync for PP playlist could be for me the perfect solution, but i 'm not finding ways ..I there someone that can help?
When i sync playlists with media monkey, it transfer playlists written with wrong addresses info. The player read welll all titles but when it try to open a track, PP search for playlist addresses with 'Storage Card\artist\album....' while the imported playlists from MM have just 'artist\album....' written in . Anyone experieced and solve that?

The purpose of the thread is obvious but I will point it out anyway for your benefit. I was hoping people would make suggestions regarding music players I hadn't used, for example you suggested Kinoma and I tried it out and found it to be wanting. Just because my opinion of it differs from yours it doesn't equate to it making no sense. You said it's interface was 'absolutely amazing'. I disagree with that.
Your comment on this not deserving a specific thread is somewhat unusual given the type of forum this is. Perhaps you would like to specify exactly what subjects deserve to have threads and what doesn't? I'd say this thread is perfectly valid for the reasons pointed out above.

What surprises me is that there seems to be no need for Bookmark or a similar function. I know that Pocketplayer has this option. For me that is certainly a must. As for the quality of playback whatever the player it will never be like a stereo set.
The most ideal for me is a mediaplayer what can play all the formats, music, video, photo and E-books. is completely configurable. Has an excellent equalizer and Bookmark function. But like all good things in life, they are not within reach
regards, fred
I find Pocket Player to be the best music player for WM. It was certainly not developed with finger friendliness in mind, but it can certainly be very easily used on the HD2. It has great features and despite some bugs (related to WM 6.5) it is certainly better than S2P (which I believe to be just an iPhone copy - I don't like that).
I hope I do not annoy you guys with my ... "Best ..." threads.
However I really would like to know what is your favourite Mp3 player on the TG01 - I personally haven't found a lot good players besides HTC Media Player and Nitrogen!

The best is pocket player (just use a skin for wvga - surch for it at xda)
much more options tna anyother, much better sound quallity (you don't need srs wow to simulate surround or bass boost)
it playes everything... and best of all, It works very well whit my bluetooth phones (witch, by the way, for it's price, I recomend - phillyps shb7110 - it can be used in the car also, and with any hi-fi or anyother apparatus with sound output) nitrogen doesn't work with the keys of forward or rewind of this phones.

I agree: Pocket Player: It has hundreds of features!
My favourite is S2P - it´s for sure not as overloaded with features as pocket player is - but with a few ticks you listen music. And it integrates well with S2U2 (at least when you use it).
Pocket Player hangs on my phone when it goes to sleep, or the playback stutters. Maybe there´s an option somewhere - but until now I didn´t found it.

in pocket player go to options advanced and search under power. Theres something related to that problem of going to sleep... (if can't find say again and I will see, can't do it now)
s2p is good but the author left its developmnt in favor of only s2u2. it lacks somethings important - can't bind buttons and doens't work landscape... for instance

Nevermind ... I wouldn´t use it anyway. And it has some problems with the 6.5.5 Button-Bar, at least the version I once had.
I don´t use landscape on my phone, but for what you want to bind buttons? Switching songs? I do this with my BT-Headset, so it´s enough for me. The only thing I miss is the album scrolling from the earlier releases, but from time to time there are updates for S2P - so I haven´t stop hoping it will come back some day
