on the jas jar., i've hundreds of tunes loaded on a storage card.
i can see them all on the card using file explorer but can only ever play them one at a time?
i can highlight them all but i can't seem to find any option to 'play all' or anything similar?
i can see a repeat and shuffle feature which hints it can be done but how do i get the tunes in to start 'shuffling' ?
please help
thanks in advance
im windows media, do a scan and it'll put all tracks into the library, you can then skip through using the previous and next track buttons
Or get a better media player. I've given up on Windows Media as I think the file handling is horrible (playlists etc.) I have been using TCPMP - The Core Pocket Media Player and I think it's much better. Even though I think people primarily get it for it's video capabilities, I mainly just use it for the audio. It's officially free, but if you like it you can make a donation to them.
http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/download
I do not have the Jasjar with me but as far as I remember in WM you go to menu choose open file and then the folder and start playing the first tune.
Then it continues playing what ever is in the folder. You can also skip what you don't want to listen

Does anybody know of a way to have media player play files on a remote PC as if they were installed locally?
I have my CD collection on my PC and I'd like to be able to play music from this using my XDAIIs using Wifi.
I've managed to see the files on the PC from the XDAIIs but clicking on them will not play them. However, if I create a shortcut to the file in question, and click on it, the track will play!
Unfortunately, if I create a second shortcut in the same folder to another file on the PC, media player doesn't play it automatically. I have to click on each shortcut that I wish to play.
You can use iTunes to do this, but you have to have WM2003, because I could no longer get it to work when I upgraded to WM5.0. It is called wifitunes, and it is still in alpha testing, but don't let that scare you, because it works well for me. Here is a link:
http://www.aspecto-software.com/WiFiTunes/WiFiTunes.htm
And of course you have to have iTunes installed on your pc (free from apple).
Let me know if this works for you!
I use resco file explorer and simply map the shared drive on my desktop to my SX66. I use TCPMP and can play avi, mpeg, mp3, wav etc on my SX66 over my wifi with no problems.
Thanks,
I tried WiFiTunes but I couldn't get it to work. Putting iTunes on the PC also required me to convert the track from WMA lossless to the Apple format which I wasn't keen to do but thanks for the suggestion.
I've downloaded a trial copy of resco file explorer, it looks like a good product to have irrespective of whether it helped with this particular issue. Used with TCPMP it does exactly what I want.
The only downside is that you have to create playlists because it doesn't organise the content into album, artist and genre lists in the same way that WMP10 does.
As I have nearly 3000 tracks it's going to take me some time to create the playlists but it's something to keep me out of mischief for a while!
Thanks for your help
Is there any way that I can keep the HTC Audio Manager from adding files from a specific folder to the music library?
I listen to a lot of spoken word stuff and prefer to use Core Player for that, to keep Audio Manager just for music. But whenever I add the spoken word stuff to my storage card, Audio Manager automatically updates the library with those files.
Any way around this? Appreciate any help...
HI, I found out that the music player also plays my audio notes files (recorded calls) !!!! and no way to exclude folders from scanning mp3 files...
IN the meanwhile, the only way is to play playlists only
There is a setting regarding the device scan path in the registry in HKLM/Software/HTC/AudioManager_Eng/Config.
You could put all your music into \My Documents\My Music and set the device_scan_path_path setting to \My Documents\My Music. That way ringtones and stuff which is also in your My Documents folder wouldn't get scanned. I didn't try it, but you might want to give it a shot. You may have to soft-reset the device after changing the scan path.
Thanks Kork,
But afraid this doesn't work. It seems nobody (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=345887&page=3) seems to know what's going on with this.
I previously tried hiding the folder - didn't make a difference.
There surely must be an answer?! Someone who's much cleverer than me - help!
yea, i like my TP2 and all, but the finger friendly audio player is quickly getting on my nerves with its filterless "pull every audio file in existence" search criteria. Not to mention the fact that its throwing songs Every which way because some of them dont have proper embedded information, which, i am not sure how to edit outside of Winamp. Their also doesn't seem to be any way to Remove any files in the playlist. Media player will at least let you do that, problem is it isnt too finger friendly.
As a workaround you can rename all "talk.mp3" to "talk.mpa", then the manager will not find it, but other players will
Totalcommander can rename multiple files in one operation.
teemo, you're a GENIUS! MANY many thanks for this.
(what a stupid flaw in the Audio Manager program though eh!)
Delighted, thanks...
easy question - whats the best player for audio on HD ?
its a difficult question - for me its s2p
If you mean the most user friendly one, I would suggest Nitrogen player.
Yes, Nitrogen too. The best !

uh, make sure "Recursive Search" is selected in the song browser menu, then go up the to top of the directory where all your songs are stored, tap and hold and select "Append and Play".
eg. if ur music is under \Storage Card\Music, then you tap and hold that folder.
Does anyone use players for audio books?
I have tried a lot of players, all of them not suitable for audio books. When I answer on incoming call couple seconds of the book (about 3 to 8) lost and I need to rewind some. When you are listening to the music its not a problem, but audio books...
Can anyone suggest me right kind of player?
I'm using Pocket Tunes 4. It's not free and i'll take a look to nitrogen also
This is my first reply to a thread.....lol
I just had to add my two cents worth, I have probably tried about 10 different audio players and always come back to Pocket Player, whilst allot of others have fantastic options I find Pocket player has all of the benefits of the others plus more. When the phone rings its pauses, then resumes to the exact spot when the call ends. It can play virtually all types of audio files and has heaps and heaps of settings to configure to your personnel tastes
Good luck
I've got a UK Touch Pro 2 from Orange with the official latest Windows 6.1 (!) ROM on it, and transferred about 10 songs from itunes onto it earlier. So far, so good.
I then decided actually I don't wat those songs, so I managed to delete them from the storage card, but they're all still showing up on the 'Now Playing' list along with little exclamation marks as if to say it (obviously) can't find them any more.
Does anyone know how I can clear this list??
Many thanks!
Hi --
I've been spending a lot (read "too much") time with the TF3D audio app recently, loading lots of music, so I have experience with your issue.
Basically, the Now Playing list will not reset until you "make" a new one, i.e. until you choose to play something else and thus have something else "Now Playing." Strange, but that's how it works...
The easiest way is to go into the Library, and choose one of the following that DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY OF THE DELETED SONGS: 1) an album; 2) a playlist; or 3) an artist. Then select any song from that category. The music player should now bring you back to the Music tab home screen, and you'll notice that only the songs from that category will be in Now Playing. When you go back into the Library the deleted song listings should now be gone completely.
Thanks jasmithers, a very useful tip - I shall give it a try!
The Touchflo music appears to be quite worthless. I cannot get the app to identify any artists, albums, genres, etc. I have approx 1400 songs in the sd card and it finds nothing.

If you mean that the tracks don't show up at all, perhaps they are in a DRM format, e.g. iTunes' .aac, that the music player can't read?
If you mean that the tracks show up but the artist/album/genre ID doesn't show, perhaps the data hasn't been entered into the tracks? On your computer, right-click on one of your music files, choose "Properties," and see if it brings up any info. If not, you can manually enter it (although it's a time-intensive process).
The TF3D music player keeps losing the indexed list of songs by artists, albums, genres. I will go to Winmo media player and scan for songs. The TF3D music player uses the scanned list from media player but it seems to lose the list after some action that I have not identified. Should not be this difficult.
Title says it all really. Whenever I transfer files to my phone using WMP under Win 7 it converts them all to WMA files which is pointless since the track order then becomes alphabetical not as the id3 tag lists it. My version of WMP (can't find a version number since there is no file menu) does not have an option uncheck convert files as necessary like some people say there is under the device name in the sync menu.
Does anyone know how to stop this horrible behaviour and let me keep my media as I want it not how MS want it?
I thought there was a way, at least as far as Win Media 11 goes. I rarely use it so I can't recall it off the top of my head.
The next easiest thing is to stop using Microsoft products to handle audio and music; WMP is bloated and so un-intuitive.
Try Winamp, it's got a little bloat but it's pretty simple and manageable.
itunes does it's job but like most apple products, it's made for right-brained, artistic and people who feel good about things. That's not me.
I use file explorer windows, ctrl +c & ctrl +v
Good luck

Why do you even use wmp to transfer mp3 to your phone? just make a folder on your sd card has music and mount your sd card to your computer and drap and drop you files.

I tried Winamp, but it lists 2 copies of each track on the phone after syncing. There is ony one on it, but Winamp list 2. Annoying, but not the end of the world!

I use WMP because it sorts all my audio files out for me. I have many files that aren't in a very good filing system from years ago and basically I'm too lazy to sort them out into Album/Artist folders (they have proper id3 tags though) to make finding things easier. The newer stuff I have ripped is better, in many ways due to iTunes organising it when I had an iPhone...
Also I have lots of Audio Books and WMP allows me to create Auto Playlists which excludes those files. I bashed iTunes a lot when I *had* to use it, it was bloaty and only recognised my iPhone about 2 in 3 times on Windows, but no it's gone I kinda miss it!
Found a solution/workaround
If I turn on USB debugging, thus disabling MTP mode, WMP will give me the option to not convert files. It's not as convenient as MTP since you have to click connect, but that's a small price to pay I think.
WMP12 (which is what Win7 has) can change the rip settings by pressing the ALT key to reveal the menu and then going to Tools->Options and looking for the Devices tab. Check the properties to see what the settings are here.
Also, if you don't use WMA at all change the settings in the "Rip Music" tab to use a format other than WMA. Don't know if this will help but I generally recommend to people when you don't use the format.
This problem drives me crazy. Why does WMP convert MP3 files? With my Arc S WMP converts only parts of the files. If I change the preferred format in "default-capability.xml" from MP4 to MP3 it works, but not for all files. This is sick.
I don't wanna miss WMP because it converts to 128Kbit/s and saves some space on the SD-Card.

This works for me...
Go to the SYNC menu, YOUR DEVICE, then
the ADVANCED OPTIONS. Click on the QUALITY tab and make sure the MUSIC option
is set to SELECT QUALITY LEVEL AUTOMATICALLY. If you choose any other quality level it will convert to .wma.
