Hi all,
I am looking for a player that can add folders to playlist, queue songs and be controlled from the original htc earphones.
Can you please advice me?
All players i tried messed up the default settings for audio playback and don't really want to try myself anymore.
I didn't found a related thread so i opened a new one. excuse me if there is one already.
If important my phone is t8585 with original rom, manila etc.
have you tried the Pocket Player (commercial) - it can add files/folders to cuurent playlist (just like "enquee in Winamp" in Winamp), not sure about HTC headphones
another popular alternative is Nitrogen, haven't tried it though
No I haven't tried any of them. It seems Nitrogen will do the job for me. I will give it a try. Once I found an old version of winamp for pocket but it was hanging all over the time and it wasn't for a touch device.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Hi all.
Now that some WM6 roms are coming with HTC Audio Manager I have been having a play with the software.
Does anyone know how to get it to sort your music via track number when you access it by album? By default it sorts by alphabet which seems pretty dumb to me.
I'd love any help as it seems like quite a decent audio player app.
Cheers.
My gues would be to include the track number when you rip your albums
yeah all the info is in the mp3 tags. they work fine under media player.
thanks anyway... any other suggestions?
Has anyone figured out how to get this to not put all the tracks alphabetically?
good work
thanx alot
(I'm not really sure where I should put this thread so just give me hint)
I am very new to the xda site, ive taken use of many of the different applications the forum has in store, especially the app called Nitrogen MP3 player.
I use that because the standard music player on my HTC HD2 is bugged ever since I installed the GTX Theme, the problem is that the phone crashed or the music stops playing middle of a song.
Anyway... back to the main thing.
The issue I want help with is that the Nitrogen player stops music every time I lock my phone.
I was wondering if there was any way to change anything in the program so the music will keep playing even when the phone is in lock " the screen is turned off locked"

I had the same issue. That's why I stopped using Nitrogen. My HTC Music player works well. But I have had to do 2 hard resets because of a program called DoubleTwist, which screwed my HD2 up and made the HTC Music player not function properly.
I also had the same problem a few months back.., Just did a hard reset and things were back to normal
First, I'm not new to the subject. Over the years I've used GSPlayer, MortPlayer, Nitrogen, WMP and various flavors of TCPMP. However, two things happened recently:
- I've switched from Dell Axim X51v to Touch Pro 2 - so finger friendliness is a must.
- I started using WMP media sync on the desktop.
What it means... the WMP puts every album in its own folder. So say I have a dozen MP3s of same artist, from ten different albums. They will be arranged in ten different folders. And synced that way. In the past, I would manually rearrange the songs. But this is tedious, and really unneeded on PC - WMP makes it very easy to quickly play songs by an artist without worrying about folders. When I had a burned HD and had to restore my entire music collection, I just left them the way they are. When using a player with library support on the phone, it's easy to play all songs by an artist.
Well, here's the issues I had with players:
WMP - well, it does have an equalizer as I just found (silly me...) not that easy to get to but it will do.
Mort Player - great functionality, but relatively slow to start; most other players start up almost instantly. Since I use player mainly in the car, I don't want to wait for it to get up while I am driving.
GSPlayer - no big button finger friendly skin that I know of, otherwise great.
Nitrogen - love it, but no library support. And no recursive directory selection mode, so the songs have to be added individually. Would be the player of choice otherwise.
TCPMP - I did find a couple of builds that support skins with large buttons. The one that I ended up with is just a tad slower to start than Nitro, still fast. No library support but the recursive directory selection mode basically replaces "All songs" feature. However:
- there's no way that I know of to make recursive directory selection a default mode - does anyone know if there's a way to do it ?
- Instead of showing album art JPGs it plays them. I.e. if I hit the skip button it treats art as a file to be played. Is there a way/setting to fix it ?
- Also, which build would you suggest for TP2 with stock Sprint 6.5 ROM ? This is probably what I will end up with for now.
Any help / suggestions appreciated.
hi. have you tried AvianPlay and S2P ?
Hi,
I have used “AvianPlay” on my windows mobile. I am satisfied with it, you should also try AvianPlay.
If you have any problems regarding this player, do let me know.
Thanks. Installed it at lunch, still updating library. Is it normal for Avian to take relatively long time to load, or does it do it only when updating lib ?

That's the iMulator a forum member made. It's a little buggy but I don't think it was intended for my phone. I love the app though, give it a shot I guess.
I still use PocketMusic
I prefer Pocket Player by Conduits. It comes with a great library. In fact it's the only player for Windows Mobile known to me with a real library like desktop players (Winamp...) offer it.
anyone suggest a music player that works in a "flat file" fashion? i.e. gives an interface similar to a file manager that exposes at the folder level and lets me select any/all of my files without categorizing or "genius"-izing my stuff [which always fails in my case] ??
I've tried:
poweramp
winamp [been awhile - liked it on pcs, not on android]
TTPod [current - misses 70% of my files]
Mixzing
Cloudskipper [worthless]
a couple I can't recall
and the default
?
Music Folder Player Free
"Music Folder Player Free" by ZorillaSoft
"MortPlayer Music" by Mirko Schenk
wouldn't you know it... five minutes after posting I decided I'd try one of the ones I had not tried, and it works. Playerpro Trial has a folder feature and it just works. the album view genre view and others are predictably worthless, but at least it lets me find what I know is there, and all the files are shown intact, and to its credit it ignores empty folders. I'll take a look a Mort again - tried it before but can't recall the detail. and I'll definitely try folder player - sounds like someone gave 'em a tip.
Now I need a different thread - which one's the best of those that properly discover files? My second highest priority is the quality of the sound, and the one reason why I was quite fond of TTPod [while it was still free, of course] was its robust EQ. But on a P500/P509 such as i have, does it matter? the audio component is pretty lousy... Poweramp and Powerplay [the one I just installed] have DSP's they download for the 'unlocked' version. does it really help?
I am running backside on my OV. Since it's not the same phone I can't guarantee that you would see the same results, but just the dsp manager built into cm7 has made a very noticeable sound quality difference in my phone, so anything with a decent dsp should help. I'm still looking for a good free music player like what you're describing. I've settled for mixzing, but not a huge fan. Apparently the paid version of winamp offers folder based playing as well as gapless playback. I'm a big fan of electronica, so this has made winamp a major consideration as my next app purchase. Check it out if you haven't yet, might fit what you're looking for. Good luck.

I apologize for the simple question, but the guides do NOT cover it. I can copy music to my "Music" folder and the music appears in the stock Music app (as well as DoubleTwist), for example. But if I copy a podcast file to "Podcasts" directory it does not appear in the default player.
How do i get this to work? The default player has no mechanism for downloading and it seems like the Podcasts directory would be the most logical place! DoubleTwist is great for playback and downloading, but in a perfect world I could use the podcasts in any player just like i can with music. Since the built-in Music app supports avrcp 1.3, I can see playback info on my BT head unit, so I'd love to have that.
Anybody figured this out? it feels like such a stupid question.
one last note: i am NOT stock, I am running Revolution HD 8.0, though this SHOULDN'T matter? Maybe something IS broken there, but in my searches elsewhere I don't see anybody else asking this question.
refresh the media library after you copy music to your device
OK, I finally got the podcasts to show up by creating a sub-directory "Podcasts" in the "Music" directory. I was hoping to get clever and create a symbolic link between the music player source and DoubleTwist (or another podcast app) so the default player would pick it up, but that doesn't seem to be an option on this phone
Thanks!
