What is the best media manager out there for syncing music and podcasts onto the Dash?
When I Activesync to a Vista box using Bluetooth, the Dash does not show up as a device in Windows Media Player. I can however cruise the file system on my Dash via Windows Explorer and that is how i get content onto the Dash, but it would be better to have an organizer to keep music and podcasts propoerly organized.
I'm running Kavana WM6.1
Try POCKET PLAYER v3.7
Supposedly it is able to sync and do what you want it to do.
One thing I can say for it, it is THE best media player I have used on the smart phone by far.
It has PODCASTS, INTERNET RADIO, WMV support for starters and tons of features.
Try it out!

I installed Pocket Player 3.7. It does look a nice player than WMP.
I'm still looking for something that sits on my PC to manage my music that interfaces nicely with something like Pocket Player. i.e. like iTunes where I can download the podcasts and then sync them over to the Dash.
Maybe I resign myself to a copy and paste using File Explorer.

MediaMonkey FTW
I just downloaded media monkey. I hope I can sync via bluetooth with it.
Gixxum, are you British by any chance?

Going to try Media Monkey myself, even though i tend to use memory card & card reader as it's fast on transfer.
You see on gixxum's post's it has United States California?
haha. why would you think im british? they are the only people that tend to be as big or a bigger prick than me?
if you look at some of my posts, you will see i actually do help people. im only "me" when someone gets lazy and expects others to do the work. take the post i replied to from you:
"I'm still looking for something that sits on my PC to manage my music that interfaces nicely with something like Pocket Player. i.e. like iTunes where I can download the podcasts and then sync them over to the Dash.
Maybe I resign myself to a copy and paste using File Explorer. "
see, here is my issue. i did a google search expecting to see nothing. one would assume thats like the first thing you would do...well to my surprise, there are quite a few. and your closing line sealed the deal for me "Maybe I resign myself to a copy and paste using File Explorer"...you gave up and decided "there is nothing that manages my media how i want it to".
so my approach is more to prevent you from being lazy next time, not to cut you down. but next time you have a question you might think "i better cover all my bases BEFORE i post a new thread so i can avoid that PRICK gix"
ha ha i kno right its right there california.. why u ask if hes british anyways? thats weird

Maybe he's coming out of the closet too
I ask because I got whacked over the head by the flying sarcasm.
I did a search using that Google thing and found MediaMonkey, Winamp, etc. i just wondered (out loud) if there was anything I'd missed that the folks here might have found.
MediaMonkey seems to do good job syncing everything to the storage card via usb. I've given up on the bluetooth sync. i cannot get WMP or Media Monkey to see my device over bluetooth.
Cheers!

I've been searching for a way to stream music thru my phone, and found this and was wondering if anyone has heard, or have tried this?
It's called LaVellaMobile radio, and the software is free and they're some free streaming radio stations that you can listen to, so you can try it. Now there's a one time membership fee of 10 bucks to become a member, after that you get a log in and password to stream 100s of radio station worldwide in digital quality. I want to get this but wanted to know first what you guys thought.

Hi everybody. I just want to know if I can actually watch Youtube videos on Excalibur or it's an urban legend?
I'm using Ricky's v24 no opera version and I tried to follow the definitive guide (well, not so definitive) to watch Youtube videos (found in this forum using the search), I also tried Htc Streaming Media (a .cab file someone posted here) and none of them worked.
I use Wi-fi to navigate most of the time, since I don't have a data plan. My router has no blocking stuff (I disabled all for testing purposes) and I'm using Internet Explorer to browse m.youtube.com, but so far I got nothing but a "failed to find network" from htc streaming media.
So.... I really don't know what to do.
If anyone does, please, share your knowledge with me. Thanks in advance.
Easiest way is to use Skyfire it's free, also i use CorePlayer to stream of mobile YouTube.

Dude... skyfire is the one.... How come such a software is not a hit? It's almost perfect.... I'm curious about it. I'll try to search for it later, but so far... what a great browser! the best experience I ever had. I wanna say thank you all, for all suggestions posted here, but I'll keep with skyfire.
I use skyfire, and it plays the youtubr videos, but without sound.. any idea?
I use a Program called Vtap. The Program is small and simple it searches youtube videos, myspace videos and more and streams without any problems. If you would like to give it a shot go to http://www.smartphonefreeware.org/download/vtap-0.143

If that floats your boat. Skyfire is a memory hog, it has over heating issues (battery and processor) it will be ad supported (as soon as it is out of beta testing) so look forward to clicking through an ad every page click... na, not worth it to me.
Vtap
I use Vtap by Veevo. It not only shows YouTube but tons of other video on the web. Plays great!

I have to agree with Bupahs... TCPMP is definitely the way to go (if you aren't using Skyfire w/ a high-speed connection). I have yet to experience a player with more crisp, clearer playback than TCPMP. I found that the trick is you have to access the Desktop version of YouTube instead of the mobile version. The mobile version won't allow you to use TCPMP, but the other version will. How can you tell the difference between the two, you may ask? The mobile version will use a black background, but the PC (Desktop) version looks identical to the one you're used to.
I installed HTC Streaming Media and I access my browser through the Java application that should be on your phone (it came with mine) and go to youtube and I'm able to watch videos perfectly fine.

I've had problems with skyfire locking up the phone. I find that opera mini is a great browser and Vtap for youtube
vtap works great. make sure to turn the quality up tho

As we all know Windows Media Player is a memory hog. Trying to send a text while listening to a song seems to take hours. Can anybody please tell me if there is a free media app thats better than Windows? I dont care much about video just something thats not so heavy on the phone that plays MP3 and WMA.
I did do a search and all I saw was people recomending PocketPlayer, but that costs money. I did find DivX.cab (comes with set-up files too), Im about to try it out but i really dont like installing extra software on my PC just for a media player on my phone. THanks for any help folks!
EDIT: DivX is only video, but it looks really nice for those of you who like to watch vids on their phone.

Try nitrogen 0.3.1 by microfi. not sure if it supports wma yet but he is working on more and more all the time. can make ur own skins aswell.
cool! ill check it out and wma is no biggie since i can always convert, I just use wma since the files are typically smaller.
tcmp is a good one
For M-peg files / PocketTV is the best! No lag and perfect lip sync with no skipping.
Thanks everybody for the help.

No PocketPlayer is the best Audio Player about with far more feature than CorePlayer with regards Audio.
The same in reverse CorePlayer is primaraly for Video and very good @ it.
So pair the 2 together and you have Multimedia covered.
ahh rather stick with the classic tcpmp, it ca do both..tried coreplayer..album art doesnt display it as big as tcpmp can

Yes it can do both, TCPMP is just the early release of CorePlayer, to which is why CorePlayer is far more advanced in it's playing capabilities, wouldn't use CorPlayer to play audio or TCPMP as they where mainly designed for Video, where as PocketPlayer has alot of features and is pristine when playing audio.

yeah! pocket player is my main music player, not only for local content in my phone, but also has the web guide that you can search web streams by category or genre , does podcast, you can bookmark streams, you can even use your regular bluetooth headset to listen to music, although I wouldn't recomend it, unless you have a stereo bluetooth headset. It even has an equalizer you can adjust to your liking.

Hey been trawling around looking for one, i thought id found a program taht would when i downloaded pocket tunes, claiming to be able to sync to itunes. But alas it cannot play MPEG4.
Have any of you had any luck with playing itunes formated songs on any software? I dont mind paying as long as i can just play my music!

Try Core Player.
Divx mobile.. it plays all formats on my touch pro
http://www.divx.com/mobile/
I was thinking bout trying core player, but dont wana buy it to find out it doesn't work.
Kinoma player you say? Mmm never heard of it. If it works i love you
I also found a great program for converting mp4a to mp3! could do a whole folder worth, i got 880 songs i need to convert ya see. Problem was, beibng a trial they wanted me to wait 5 seconds inbewten each song and click continue! i was like :O that take days!
Cheers for the suggestions i shall check em out.
:EDIT:
Just thought id update you. Coreplayer does indeed play mp4a. Thank you very much, i will also check out kinoma player to see if it is just a nicer program to use. cheers again
And i hadn't even spotted the above comment, mmm i may check that out too.
