Well, the title is quite self-explanatory. Years ago, I had a PDA running windows mobile, and its music player had the function of varying the reproduction speed (being able to play music files at 2x and so on). I'm trying to find some music player able to do so, but I am yet to find one.
Can you help me with my search?
Thanks to everyone!

I love my iPhone because it can be my media player and my phone. But, I need more functionality offered in Windows Mobile.
So, do you guys use your Windows Mobile device as a Media Player? Or do you have separate Zunes/iPods/etc. to do the work of the media player?
If you do use Window Mobile, let me know what program you use for your media!
TCPMP is an excellent media player. I have not found an unlocked audio or video file it could not play. If you search for TCPMP in this forum or in the XDA-Developers Wiki you'll find most anything you'd want to know.
That said, while TCPMP is a nice player, it is not an organizer nor does it have a fancy "choosing" function for selecting files. Perhaps someone could recommend an application that makes launching TCPMP more intuitive.
Both have their place
I've got a Zune 30 that I bring along when I know I'll want plenty of music to choose from. My main reason is that battery life on my Tilt is not what I'd like it to be because my 8 gig sd card has plenty of room for tunes, and S2P is one of the slickest programs I've ever seen. You would be comfortable with it immediately. I do listen to Audible content (newspaper) on my phone every morning with the Kinoma player. It's actually easier to get the content onto my phone than to get it on my Zune. Audible's manager program blows hard. The Kinoma player can handle pictures, video, and streams as well. I use it for Youtube all the time.
As an added bonus for us Zune owners, I recently discoverd that ZunePass subscription content can be synched to our phones with Windows Media Player and plays just fine in either WMP or S2P, so I have been putting more music on the SD card lately.
on those occasions when i only want to carry one device then I use S2P to play audio files on my Trinity.
S2P on the Tilt for music, TCPMP for movies. Done.
Is s2p free? What media formats does it support? Is it A2DP compatible? And does it have any way of controlling music in standby mode (Can you click the D-Pad while the screen is off to skip a song??? Can you control volume using the toggle switches?
Thanks for the tips guys!
I use the HTC Audio Manager, which has a very similar interface to the classic iPod. You can use the D-Pad to control it and the volume switch to change the volume (but I think the device has to be on)
It supports A2DP.
You can also control it from the home screen (http://www.unwiredview.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/htc-touch-diamond-official.jpg)
Kinoma Player
I've used this free program called Kinoma Player which is brilliant.
It has full touch friendly interface, it can stream youtube files, supports many other files, it's great overall, even has podcasts.
I'd recommend that program, you can get it off of Windows Mobile Total Access or from Kinoma's sight directly.
Hey, about the ZunePass stuff, my subscription music doesn't work on my T-Mobile Wing. Any clue why? probably cuz of the DRM's but you guys said urs worked, so it leaves me wondering.
Do you sync ur Zune music to your phone using Windows Media Player sync? Or do you just drag & drop the music to ur card?
Sync the ZunePass content through WMP
and it should work. At least that is what works for me.
Hey, everyone!
So I've been using the Fuze for a while, and while I'm very impressed with how well it plays music (the last exposure I had to listening to music on a phone was not a good one...), I'm a bit bitter about the shortcomings I've run across on the simpler things. I wonder if anyone here could answer these questions:
* Does anyone know an app or background service that lets me adjust volume with the screen OFF? It's a bit inconvenient to have to unlock the phone every time I want to adjust the volume.
* Does anyone know of a lean and mean music player that supports gapless playback AND has at least a basic library that isn't slow? I tried Pocket Player (horrible library performance), Kinoma (no gapless and horribly laggy), S2P (great library, but graphics were distracting and no gapless), HTC's built-in player (pretty good, but no gapless) and Windows Media (need I say more?) and all of the other apps I've heard about don't catalog music.
Thanks!

for ur first question i HIGHLY doubt theres an app unless u have S2U2 as an unlock app, then u can change the settings where u can change the volume without unlocking
for ur second question, try nitrogen player, never tried it but i heard alot of good reviews for it http://www.dewantoro.net/search/nitro+player+WM
the only i use on my TP for music was the TF3D player and i havent experienced any problems with it, but give nitrogen player a try...
Libraries are going to be slow if you have a large collection. Try TCPMP or mortplayer-they use a file explorer instead of a library. The downside is that you can't play genres or all your music. You need to make playlists.
PocketPlayer has gapless playback and many other features. The only problem is that it is not integrated into manila.
Hi,
I am curious to know if there is way to set a sleep/stop timer in Windows media player mobile ? Everything is good with it except this feature.
Or, is there any other music player that I can use with my HTC Fuze's headphone adapter (it has music player buttons).
I have searched several forums but couldn't find anything related to it.
Seems nobody is interested to have sleep/close/pause time in windows media player mobile ????
I am looking for the same thing. Spend a lot of time at different hotels so I would love to be able to fall asleep to my favourite music. Will post here if I find anything.
I have found one alternative for this...

Hi guys, im looking for a music player that can rival the basic ones ive used on android. I listen to audio books which can be upto 14 hours long, so being able to track what point im up to is important. The main reason i went to using android was the fact that the player could remember where i was if i closed the player app/turned the phone off/took sd card out/anything. Is there anything in windows 6.5 that has a little of that function?
cheers.
tcpmp and or coreplayer
for sure Mortplayer
Microfi Nitrogen....search this in google or xda..."nitrogen_1.2_wm5_alpha4"...easily the best player for windows mobile for me...there is in settings what you want...
Hello, people. First thread, so I'm pretty much new to this place.
Anyhow. I've got a rooted Xperia C running the stock ROM, and I've been fooling around with the Throw feature, especially while using Walkman. I have a Dell Studio 1745 (with amazing speakers, btw) where I open WMP and stream my music to. Sadly enough, WMP has an issue recognizing songs with ID3 tags, and doesn't play half of my library. VLC plays everything effortlessly, though, and I'm wondering if there's any way I can get Walkman to recognize VLC.
I searched for a while, all that I found were VLC remote streaming apps. I'd rather exploit a pre-existing function than download another app for it.
Cheers!
