itunes for ppc !!!!

i have seen this- http://www.pocketmac.net/products/ppctunes/ has anyone got it ad if so is it any good?
is there any progams which does the same job which are free??

I tried it for about 10min. before i trashed it from my PPC and PC. I added about 20 albums to my iTunes share. When i went to access it on my PPC, the app went crazy asking me for a dll that it couldn't find. The dll was in fact in the app's directory. I trashed it as it IS trash, and the fact that it will not read ogg codec (go figure). I would recommend any free player that will read mp3, wma, ogg, asf type, and access your shared network.

i ended up buying it. it worked for me. it takes the files out of your predefined playlist and transfers them into wma (not if you don't want it to) then every time you sync it adds the files to your ppc.
the only problem i have got is that it wont delete any of the old files which i have removed from the play list
i would rate it 5/10

Click to expand...

Playing WMA from PC using WiFi

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:

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

Reassigning MP3s as default to windows media player

I installed a program and removed it (cant remember what it is now) that played mp3s as default.
Now my mp3s dont have a default option to play and I get the message 'system cant find the specified file'
Is there a way for me to get windows media player to play the files automatically.
Thanks

Hello,
I had the same problem, and moreover I was not able to use MP3 ringtones any more (does this also apply to you?). For me it was sufficient to add one key into the registry (I used Total Commander for it): Assign the value "MP3File" (without quotes) to HKCR/.mp3/default
Good Luck!

Thanks
Thanks,
I will give this a try and hope it works.
I have still been able to use my mp3s as ringtones but searching them in file explorer takes ages. They still also work in photo contacts only windows media player has the problem.

any way to get HTC Audio Manager to ignore a folder?

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...

Remove unwanted files from music player

I installed the Asphalt game from the market and now there are close to 180 ogg files named raw* in my music player list. Is there anyway to get rid of them without unistalling the game?
I don't want to use some other music player since I like the default one's widget

Create a file with notepad and give it no name and the extention .nomedia place this in the directory that contains the items you don't want to be displayed in your media player and your problem is solved.
So you will end up this: ".nomedia" it's totaly empty but this is the way 2 go.

Worked perfectly.. Thanks!

Is there a similar approach to sorting images? The albums they show up in seem to be quite random. I'd like to define only certain folders to grab images from for the albums. I just can't figure out to manage photo albums at all.

i did it and worked at first but now i see them in music player. they are scanned again
edit: a restart fixed the issue and now they don't appear

Does it work with video files too? also wondering if it is anyhow possible to hide applications in program listing?

tried this, as my audio book files showed up in the music player, and it works...but...it also removes the audio book files from the audio book player! So I had to remove the .nomedia file again to be able to listen to my books

thanks! worked
