I have my HD for about a month now and I am wondering which music player you guys use most... I do like the touchflo music player, but since i have disabled TF3D i cannot use it anymore... Have tried Core Player and WMP but none of them are really finger friendly, in terms of browsing for media....
any recomendations for a finger friendly music player???
I use only Pocket Player.
mortplayer , nitrogen , s2p
PocketPlayer is the best. Worth spending money on it. Crossfading, FLAC/APE/AAC support, great and finger-friendly library...the only bad thing about pocket player is that you can't get it on your desktop PC
PS. Oh, and HD becomes a bit laggy when using pocket-player, but it mostly manifests itself with poor tf3d framerates.
Receiving calls, writing sms etc works fine. Since you don't use tf3d this shouldn't be an issue for you.
I use Pocket Player and I have had problems with it - the HD certainly is laggy when running it and fairly often I have to Soft Reset and even Hard Reset to get the phone back to a usable state. I haven't looked into a alternative yet.
EDIT : I should say that I have disabled TF3D and use SPB Pocket Plus instead.
I use PocketMusic 5.0
Equalizer is more effective than the one within mediaplayer. Together with a Bose QC3 headphone. Great sound!
About a year ago I tried every music player I could get my hands on. I found Pocketplayer to be the best for what I need. I have been using PocketPlayer for almost a year now on various devices. Seems the slowest on the HD. Minimising/maximising takes too long imo. The program is fantastic, only downfall is the speed.
Pocket Player for me.
I like also Pocket Tunes but it does not have a WVGA skin so you have to put up with VGA. The advantage is the sound quality is a little better than Pocket Player.
But, if I had to have only one then Pocket Player.
Kinoma FreePlay or Kinoma Play.
Unlike all the other players, it doesn't get slow when you have 5-10GB of music.
It features smooth scrolling and a beautiful, ultra fast user interface.
Makes use of GSensor and rotates with a nice animation.
I think it's the best player and I could not find any disadvantages. Other players have disadvantages like PocketPlayer getting slow with lots of music in the library, S2P not working in landscape mode (except for coverflow) and being a bit buggy sometimes, PocketTunes not working with WVGA....
Kinoma is finger-friendly, ultra fast, stable and feature-complete.
pocket player top tip for hd !! On pocket player advanced settings set the priority to normal
sorry for the semi-offtopic but does one of the mentioned players let you choose the shuffle by album like in good old ipod?
i can say for sure that tf3d wmp and s2p don't (sadly!!)

Thanks for the tip - I must admit to have not explored the advanced settings !!
What does it do when the priority is set to normal ?? (mine was previously on "Highest")
MortPlayer
Strange no one use MortPlayer! For my needs simply the best! And a lot of features to customize as YOU like

Simple, it uses less cpu ! the higher the value more cpu it will "reserv" for itself leaving for e.g. tf3d "laggy". Bellow normal while doing smt heavy the music starts to stutter.
Try it !
thank you for all the feedback guys... all of you have been more than helpful...i will try pocket player
Has any1 tried PocketMusic..i find it more easy fast and better sound quality than pocket player. You can select a folder or even a single track
Hey guys, I tried almost all players besides Pocket Music and Kinoma FreePlay. Until now, the best for music was the native wmp, coreplayer being horrible for music for me.... Now I want to test Pocket music, but I have a problem, how and WHERE can I get a WVGA skin???? The native one is really beautiful, but "only" VGA. There should be about 10000 themes as it comes from Winamp, BUT, which one is WVGA?.. Could someone please help me? Thank you!!!!^^ to topic: until now, I "love" wmp, cause its hardware accelerated, so it NEVER stopps with multitasking (only on opening Opera, but I think Opera takes for this task full 100% cpu) and it shows my covers beautifully^^ but just try all, there are always trial versions
Now with Wvga skin ptunes can be used at full resolution on THD.

Any player that supports playlist on the main screen? I'm using wmp, but it waste so much space that could house a long playlist to choose from, I don't use wmp for movies anyway.

HAHA, on my mogul, it was a really cool program, now that I'm getting the diamond, I guess it's not all that hot anymore
Think Core player is the one to have.
Its plays almost all popular files.... except rmvb.
Sorry wrong place, too much windows opened!
native VGA support would help me to buy this wonderful player immediately.
Felt Core Player much much better..

Kinoma Play supports MPEG-4 Video SP and AVC/H.264 codecs, 3GPP (same as MPEG-4), Flash Video (Sorenson Spark codec), QuickTime Movie (same as MPEG-4) and Windows Media 9 (WMV9 codec) video formats. For streaming, Kinoma Play supports HTTP, RTSP, and MMS streaming.
doesn't seem like it
Works only in full version!
OK and what about performance...it doesnt support QTV so Im interested about smoothness of playing standart unconverted *.avi videos...

Your right, I posted this thread before I had tried it on my Diamond, it looked awesome on my Hermes in its native resolution but on the Diamond, it looks pants. I'll wait for a true VGA version before I purchase this, the free one will do for now.
i downloaded the software by the link given in the first post, but when i start the player it wants to register. thought this was a free version ?!
Core Player vs. Kinoma Player
I do find that core player is an all in one package for almost all video formats. Though Kinoma is very good looking though not in VGA, core player is still the best so far.
Hope they could tweak it a bit further for it to utilize the built-in GFX accelerator ................... a wish that may not come true soooooon
Isn't this the old palm app, I'd have to check, but I'm pretty sure my kids have this on their zodiack tapwaves (nice machine in it's day, great spec.) . Core player with diamond skin is unbeatable.
Streaming files present on PC
Hi all,
Can I with Kinoma listen to music and video present in my personnal computer?
I'am looking for this type of application (like Simplifymedia for Iphone)
Thanks
I have to say, though, I am really digging the built in Orb client on Kinoma.
"Can I with Kinoma listen to music and video present in my personnal computer?

Yes, it has a nice built-in Orb client.
More “finger-friendly” for phones with hi-resolution (VGA+) screens, including the HTC Touch Diamond
see, VGA resolution.
impossible to use Kinoma Freeplay
I downloaded the Kinoma Freeplay (do I need the full version : Kinoma play), I've installed it, and I lunch it, it ask for a product registration. I was thinking that the Freeplay version was free?
What I need to do?
Thanks

Anyone willing to make a cab off this? Looks like a neat player I'd like to try.
Kinoma is much better..

i wish i could agree with that assessment crazylilboy. ive tried kinoma. and havent gotten to neromobile just yet. but, kinoma SUCKS!! cool interface and that's where the positive end. it hijacks all ur file associations so you cant play anything straight from file explorer as it becomes unrecognized. it scans ALL my folders for media even crap that is in program files and other directories that arent media related as thats what support says it shouldnt be scanning. lastly, and this really isnt all. movie playback is crap compared to coreplayer. it only supports 3 file types, one of which a normal person would use or encode their movies to(mp4). u cant decent quality because u have to keep the bitrate soo low for it not to freeze or chop up. so, ill try this as it cant get much worse and if u need other reasons NOT to use Kinoma, PM me
OH, and thanks for the find on Neromobile

nevermind***
So, what do you guys say is the best music player anyway, with a good combination interface and features. I really didn't like S2P due to the lack of sorting by ID3 tags and lack of equalizer et all, Touch player(samsung's bundled with omnia) is OK, and Kinoma is speedy and all yeah, but not that big on features. Any other alternatives.
And uhm, cab possible? Or just the installed folder zipped?
A good Music Player for WM... theres a number of them but it all depends on personal preference and there are a couple which do stand above the crowd such as Conduit's Pocket Player and PocketMind PocketMusic.
s2p is obviously the best music player.
as for video.. i'd go with coreplayer.
Already tested neromobile but I still prefer TCPMP for stable and light, or s2p for it´s nice design
TCPMP v0.81 + Plugins (Unofficial)
http://www.4shared.com/file/28357319...CPMP_v081.html
Thanx to teixeirabmb for providing this
for me is coreplayer and pocket player
CorePlayer + Opal YouTube + S2P (because it kicks ass) + WMP for playlist = too many media apps, but it's all I need, also MobiTV !
i use mortplayer with iphone skin
i just luv how you can track change using gestures...
i use my phone as car music player so i dont like looking for buttons while driving
I tried Nero Mobile more than a year ago.
I will not try that again....ever, not if there are other choices out there.
Some of you mentioned S2P, I thought S2P is just a shell for WMP. Is it actually a player?
A Cab File Please..
Can anyone here provide a cab file for neromobile please.I'll be much thankful for the help.Please.....
Hello,
I have been searching ... but I have had no luck finding an audio program that can do the following:
1) FAST audio playback (like TCPMP)
2) Bluetooth Control (PAUSE/PLAY, Forward, Backward (like windows Media Player)
3) Can continue to play with the SCREEN OFF (Like TCPMP)
Any Suggestions?

Mortplayer http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=download&entry=mp_program&action=list
I highly recommend the cleanglass and darkglass skins http://www.sto-helit.de/downloads/pocketpc/mp-skins/
Thanks for suggesting mortplayer...
Settings are odd, but you get used to it after a bit.
I see that the display shuts off, and that the headset controls work, which is great!!!
However is there some sort of plugin that I need in order to change the playback speed?
I cant seem to find the setting.
oh and the darkglass skin is cool.
thanks again

Sorry, I misunderstood the "fast"request. The only other program that I'm aware of that will allow playback speed adjustment is Coreplayer, though it's not a feature that I would seek out myself. TCPMP was the beta/development tool for Core. Core has a much richer feature set compared to TCPMP. Core isn't free and in my way less than scientific study, it used about 2X the memory when playing audio files when compared to Mort. It's also a great all around video player with decent built in (no browser needed) youtube support.
Purchased Coreplayer V1.3.0 build 6213
Initially I had a heck of time with stability issues.
After at least 20 lockups, I found that everything became more stable if I just disabled anything that had to do with the internet / youtube / and the Library Functionality.
It is a bit of a hog.
....the Iconics are non-intuitive,
....in order to sort a playlist by filename you have to disable the library
But at least I can now do the (3) items I originally asked for.
Thanks for your help
qu1nn
I'm still using 1.2.1 and have no stability issues that I'm aware of. I'm going to upgrade later to see if I have similar issues. If Core was a little lighter on ram, I wouldn't bother with Mort at all.

You can actually enable the unattended play feature in WMP by changing the value of
\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Media Player\Preferences\UnattendedPlayback
from (decimal) 0 to 1.
Now you just need a plugin to speed up playback so you can ditch CORE like I did (yes, they suckered me into paying for it too).
Hope that helped!
What are the player to play my AVI as i notice that it cant play my avi on wmp.
i use this - http://www.coreplayer.com/
however its commercial software.
im sure someone else would be able to recommend an alternative that is free.
Personally tried core player,it dropped frames. Played a Music video of 640*352 rsolution,24fps,.xvid encoded avi file,the result of first 45 seconds are like this-Played frame-25,Dropped frame-999. So how is that? I used the 1.30 version though,no idea about the latest version. I am selling it as soon as the Omnia Hd or Omnia 2 releases. I can't live without watching movies/videos on the go,so I need something where I will get the .divx and .xvid support out of the box.
Thanks.
I think it's a shame that CorePlayer don't do a demo since more than most software, you need to trial it before you know whether it will play your videos on your device, and no reviews or screenshots will ever tell you that.
Core media player (1.25) played a 23 fps 640*352 xvid (.avi) video file encoded at 133Kbps (about 90 minutes fo video in 700MB). This was downloaded as a "for PC" file and played like a dream.
Stu
I found that divx has a mobile player and it seems to work great for avi and divx files. I tried installing both coreplayer and the freeware version TCPMP player and both crashed when I tried to run. If anyone knows of a fix to either of them crashing please inform.
Heres the link to Divx mobile. http://www.divx.com/mobile/
Hi all. I'm using core player and haven't had any problems - vid playback is good. I did use the divx player for a while but somehow preferred core player. One thing I dislike about them both is the lack of finger friendly controls - always need the stylus sooner or later.
I'm also using Core player and it works absolutely fine for me...But I found that there are no controls and seek bar when in full screen landscape mode. As soon as I touch the screen, it goes to portrait mode. So to move the movie forward or backward, it has always to be done only in portrait mode.
Is this a normal behavior, or there is some bug in mine?
Core player alternative needed
Core player plays everything fine for me, but it is very non-intuitive. Making playlists in the old version, TCPMP, was as simple as selecting, etc. I have not seen this ease of use in the new version. The lack of any good documentation does not help either.
It may be that I just have not figured this piece of software out, but the new version takes the ipod and Windows media player approach. This approach requires that it must know where all your files are all the time and be updated each time you add new media, then you are willing to spend a lot of time setting up playlists. I wife bought it and never uses it because it is a pain in the a$$. It seems to have a learning mode, but this is really annoyong when you know what you want. I am not willing to spend the time required for setting up playlists in the required manner before getting in the car or going for a run.
A simple program like the old TCPMP would be greatly appreciated. They had a winner before.
MPlayer is not yet ready for prime time, but shows promise.
Any Player that supports subtitles?

Well, I have the same issue. Whether we're calling this a bug , or normal behaviour is maybe up for debate, but in the real world its pretty annoying.
What I really want is a media player that intuitively knows when to play in landscape mode, can browse files easily and has finger friendly controls ... and if it's free, that's fine too

CorePlayer works in landscape for me. When I rotate the phone, it updates to match portrait or landscape.
I think I had to force it to do this with G-Config.

Hi
There is a version of TCMP (search this forum) wich support srt subtitles.
I also use Coreplayer but I must say that if the user interface is better with Coreplayer, TCMP play the same avi files (standard 700 mb divx) much better than Coreplayer.
I think Coreplayer need more fine tuning to work right.
I'm currently using Core Media Player and it's work fairly well, but I'm annoyed that it doesn't have any on screen controls when videos are played fullscreen.
I'm looking for a video player that has on screen controls like the built in YouTube player. (tap the screen for controls, tap again to to go back to the video).
This makes it much more convenient to skip through videos while in fullscreen mode.
Does anything like that exist?
I recommend Kinoma Play, It's a super player/app for many reasons. And it has all the features you asked for!
I actually bought It!
Haven't tried all features yet...
For some reason It didn't recognize a file, once, that I had on my memory card so I alternate between Kinoma (mostly for the awesome streaming support) and CorePlayer.

Thanks. I bought Kinoma using Trialplay. The interface is very nice, but video playback is aweful. I read on the Kinoma forum that it's designed for streaming and not for local playback.
I wish there was an optimized setting for local playback as well. The interface is MUCH better than CorePlayer.
I hope they update Kinoma to have better local playback at some point. Right now it's unuseable.
What version of core player are you using. I have tried every version with my TMO TP2 and none has worked. I don't mind if it's not touch screen, do you have a cab your willing to share. Thanks
