i think the subject says it all!
Version 3.71 won't launch.
Subsequently, Conduits Pocket Player 2.61 will launch, but the playback is so slow and jittery, it either must be a dog on the processor, or this is where the limitation of the OMAP processor is revealed. Ouch.
uninstalled pocket music, but found files are still looking for it, may not have completely gone?
iMusic works!
http://imusic.citsoft.net/eng/main.asp
tried both imusic & conduits pocket player, imusic is very good but both lack a couple of facilities that pocket music had,
display off function & lock hardware buttons
Don't bother with iMusic, i was told it screws up the ringtone capability.
thanks for the advice,
i had a similar problem with pocket music with my old pda, and what helped was not to let the "auto associate files types" run during the install.
New Pocketmusic for WM5 out soon!
It will be in this month.

Subject: Pocket Music for PPC WM5?
Hello,
Please could you tell me when you will be releasing an updated version of PocketMusic for Windows Mobile 5?
It doesn’t work properly on WM5 at the moment and I think your player is the best out there!
Thanks

sorry to reply to myself, but you can set imusic to be able to turn off the display, and of course you can remove hard button controls.
:? my fault for not reading instructions
Pocket Music Not Working - NOW FIXED apart from EQ Fader
I upgraded my old o2 XDA 11s FW to I-Mate latest (in sig) I have to run PocketMusic from Program Files, dosnt show up in Programs list, AND cant switch WINAMP SKINS, what ever folder I put them in PMSKINS and SKINS
which makes me very unhappy! :x
PocketMusic v3.7.1 and running SpbPocketPCPlus2.5 dont know if this conflicts ?
SOLUTION, just downloaded the 3.71 .exe from location 2, ran it, works with skins but GRAPHIC EQUALISER not holding fader positions, any ideas?
whats wrong with built in media player?
do these players play movie files too? (divx/xvid)
unless i am wrong, you can't turn the display off in the supplied media player.
if i am wrong please tell me.
Sure you can - you can assign it to a button within Windows Media Player's options.
The downside to it is that it doesn't even support soft keys! WTF?!
PocketMusic GRAPHIC EQUALISER NOT WORKING
POCKET MUSICS GRAPHIC EQUALISER is not holding fader positions,
any ideas?
Also the "SONY" graphic is messed up, on my Winamp skin Expensive hi fi 2005 (winamp.com search skins for "expensive" its realy nice!)
I'm using I-mate latest FW ROM, and downloaded Pocket Music 3.71 from "Location 2" the .exe from www.pocketmind.com
no idea from me,
seeing that i can't even use pocket music at the moment :?

iv jus upgraded to the XDA II, Himalaya, and i was wondering if you people knew of any mpe playing software that allows the screen to be turned off during playback other than pocket divx.
i did use that on my original XDA but it no longer plays any type of audio file when i have attempted to use it on my XDA II, mp3's or audio from within mpeg's or dixv's. im not sure why?
thanks
rick
NoteM (zavorine.net) - free mp3 voice recorder and player with LCD switch off feature. Actually I used it with PPC2002, but when upgraded to WM2003 the feature is failing to do what it should (I have MDA I).
PS: experience troubles with DivX, too!
By the way, WMplayer9 can play mp3's!
By the way, WMplayer9 can play mp3's!
as stated windows mediaplayer support screen togle
and so does the player i use which is winampaq
PocketMusic does everything
I use the free version of the PPC PocketMusic from http://www.pocketmind.com. It does everything I need. Allows the screen to be blanked. Has an equaliser. Mutes when an incoming call arrives and restarts automatically when the call is finished. Can be made to look like WinAmp if you prefer that interface. And can use PocketMusic skins or any WinAmp skin already out there.
Definitely recommend the product.
Pocket DivX on XDA II
Just an afterthought regarding the DivX player. Is it PocketMVP you are talking about? If so, did you choose to install the ATI drivers it suggests it has detected? I read somewhere else (not this forum) you shouldn't install these drivers as they cause more problems than resolve. I have PocketMVP installed without these ATI drivers and it works OK for MP3s and AVIs.
Mutes when an incoming call arrives

i dont think it's the player which handle that but the xda itself
at least i've never come across any program video or audio which dident do that
thanks people
hey, i downloaded that pocket music but now im having problems with that.
First up it doesn't appear in the progams list nor can i add it the the menu.,
Then when i start it it comes up immediately with a message sayin my feature pack has expired when its only just installed?
To top this i cant find the Device code that the read-me mentions, the feature pack pop up seems to be blocking it.
any ideas??
I didn't install the Feature Pack initially. I used PocketMusic on the Smartphone before getting my XDA II so knew everything it could do already. I am more than happy with the free version without any of the feature pack additions (I already paid for the version on my smartphone so think I've done my bit for their funds). Try uninstalling all the PocketMusic software and then re-install ensuring you uncheck the Feature Pack option. I think when you first start PocketMusic it tells you your device code, which you then type into a page on PocketMind.com, which then gives you a reg code.
I did install the trial version feature pack after successfully installing PocketMusic initially and didn't have any problems. I downloaded the separate file from http://www.pocketmind.com/pmfp.htm. I like some of the extras, but I've duplicated some of them using mapped buttons etc. The free version is fine for what I need.
Does anyone know of a Windows Media Player plugin for the today screen that works with version 10 of WMP. THe PHM plugin doesn't work with 10. Also I tried other programs like pocket music but they have bad integration with the operating system and voice command.
Thanks,
Daniel
Here it is...
WMP 10 plugin like IPOD with today screen plugin and portuguese operators configuration. If you do noy need install the 3 operators cab...inside
Thanks- I installed the .CAb but the today plugin only says "Play media files"- is it supposed to have controls- like Play, Stop , Next etc...
The Today Screen plugin opens WMP 10 with a IPOD Screen and on the screen, on the sides you have BIG controls that you can use .
I was looking for a plugin that allows you to control WMP from the today screen. Thanks anyway- also- i have a better Ipod skin that I uploaded here:
I accidently ran the optimus /cab and now my connections are screwed up-
how do I remove it?
FOUND ONE!!!
SPB Just released a perfect WMP Today plugin for WMP 10!!

very simple no control on what to play. just play/pause next/prev and vol up/down it would be nice if we could atleast select a folder or playlist. everytime i start it, it plays my WMA tones! hahaha o well.
Ipod skin
Thanks for the very cool iPod Skin.

Good find, thanks
Why don't you give mortplayer a try, the today plugin for is is great
I have to say that anything that's not WMP just isn't good for the pocket pc (in my opinion) because of the lack of integration with the OS. For example, when I get a call it stops my music, then when i'm finished it resumes playing. As far as I know only WMP does this. Also, all the other players are too fancy for me- I don't need all those controls- just Play,Pause, Volume, and Next/previous track.
Although- does anyone know how to map other buttons. When I try to map other buttons besides the 5 "joystick" buttons it goes to that function. For example, if I choose mute and press "assign" and then press the contacts button- it switches me to my contacts. Same thing for my camera, phone, calander etc...
Any ideas??
Thanks!
ps- I love the iPod skin too!! I got it a while ago and can't find it anymore due to copyright issues. Good thing I saved it on my HD!
I actually found a newer version while seeing if what I wrote was true-
Here you go!
Can ppl please tell me what mp3 player u r using that works best on the JJ (good sound, VGA support, no trouble with closing and power)
MP3 Player
Use TCPMP, it can do even more than just playing MP3's (Video)
Cheers

I use PocketMusic Player... I think it's the best that I've tried...
You're not gonna have any luck with anything that will accept button presses when the lid is closed - I get the impression this is something the device does in hardware (or OS). It's a bummer - I know...

Maybe you didn't try TMPCP (freeware, formerly aka Betaplayer). I had PocketMusic Player installed and purchased before.
TMPCP is just superior and e.g. supports *.avi files (Movies)
You can find it here

I think Pocket Music Bundle is nicer to use as a music player though, has a few more options and nice tweaks here and there, and it works well enough on the JasJar despite a few display issues when browsing for files.
That said, I've uninstalled PMB and am currently using TCPMP, largely because I'm waiting for proper WM5 software to come along, and in the meantime I'm keeping software to an absolute bare minimum.
Pocketmusic has much better sound. And thats all tht matters to me
TCPMP gives out very good sound if you play about with the equaliser.
(I'll conceed that PocketMusic may be slightly better though, so when they update their software, I'll be there!!)
I have PocketMusic Ver. 3.7 installed on the JASJAR. It works OK.
But I prefer TCPMP anyway. Problably a matter of taste.
And as said above, you have to play with the equalizer of TCPMP to make it sound good.

I am using 40th floor MP3 (free but not available anymore). Sound quality is good, but there is no way to dim the screen during playback, and no way to create playlists.
What other (except for Mediaplayer) programs exist for WM5/Prophet? What are you using? (Bluetooth compatibilty doesn't matter, as I am using Sound cradle)
Mort Player
_http://www.sto-helit.de/
Windows Media Player
TCMP player
I am using MortPlayer. I think it is the best one.
Ppod,your spv or qtek looks like an ipod.
Still WMP
Windows media player works great for me, I've tried a bunch of other programs.
Still find WMP the best one

Could you Please tell me where to download the Ppod, sounds cool and I want to try it.

Mortplayer, because it is light and functional, plays ogg files and has a large simple display mode.
Personally I like WinamPaq. Guess its because I got used to winamp on the PC.
One note about WMP - it seems to take up more memory then the competition.
Thank you, but...none of them is really good. First of all Windows Media Player doesn't allow to play a selection continuously. MortPlayer has UGLY and unfriendly interface, as all af their (very good) programs. The guy from 40th floor blocks the whole world and sells his program only to US americans.... so there is nothing on the market? Anybody tried Vito player? Is it any good?
I don't use MortPlayer, but like many others it is skinable. You can even create your own skin so I wouldn't dismiss the app just because of looks.
There is the new CorePlayer out, saw review somewhere on this site just yesterday. Not free, but looks nice and plays just about everything. No AVCRP support though...
THE BEST
Simple, versatile and free !!!
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/fr/index.php?soft=1080
yep, nothing beats TCPMP, NOTHING
if you are talking merely about mp3 function, PocketMind PocketMusic is the super ideal solution!
MortPlayer. The default skin looks ugly, but just choose the "Steel" skin, which is very functional, or download one from the site.
Mp3 Player
I Have Tried Almost All Extensively And Finally Settled To "conduits Pocket Player".
best mp3 player
I use gsplayer, good quality and simple. I believe mortplayer uses the gsplayer playback engine but stand to be corrected. I like mortplayer as well but it's too much hassle to use sometimes.
I am looking for a today screen plugin that enables me to control WMP from the today screen. Any ideas?
Spb ToPlay...
... available here: http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/pocketplus/plugins.html?en
Despite what it may seem, it doesn't need spb Pocket Plus to run.
Thanks but the spbtodayer player is an independant player and just plays tracks in order.
With a bit more searching I found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279507
Which has far better integration with wmp10 and does repeat and shuffle plays
