Any today plugin for tcpmp like the WM6 one for media player?
I would just use media player but with my headphones media player only has two volumes, at 5% real loud and at 100% even louder.
Have you tried HTC Audio Manager? It works with the Today plugin also.
I tried the HTC Audio Manager and it does the same thing. It is way nicer looking than Media Player though.
I have pinpointed the problem I believe but am unsure how to fix it.
0% is always muted with WMP/HTC AM.
The scale between 5% and 100% is directly related to what you have your phone volume set to.
If I click the sound icon in the top right and set the slider to one bar up from none. Then 100% volume in WMP/HTC AM is that same volume and 5% is just a tad lower.
If I click the sound icon and turn it up to half way then 100% in WMP is that same volume and 5% is a ways lower.
I need a way somehow to set that slider closer to the bottom instead of moving it in such big increments. Does any of this make sense?

Currently I'm using Windows Media Player 10 mobile, and when the device goes to Standby (to save battery), the player stops playing.
When I had the HTC Diamond the ROM I used had a tweak in it to allow Media Player to keep playing even in standby mode.
Do you know of a way to solve this problem with Media player, or can you suggest other player that can play in standby ?
Thanks.
S2P does it
Try A_C's S2P, the best mobile media player ever.
It turns off backlight automatically and is really great to use.
Enjoy!

Kinoma Freeplay all the way, most fluid and pretty interfrace you can get.
Mortplayer!
all player will auto "shut off" music in standby mode;
ONLY when u have earpiece plug in, then it wont cut off the music.
anyway, kinoma freeplay is very buggy.. mortplayer FTW
Pocket Player 4
mate, all these players mentioned above are good, but i've always felt the whole thing getting a bit sticky when they're running.
however (not perfect either) i would recommend Pocket Player 4. is the one i been using for a few months and cooking in my own roms. it plays everything from audio to video and has full support for online streaming.
it will carry on playing as normal when you put the phone in standby and will keep backlight on if you dont press the top button.
if youre listening to online radio via network it wont drop the connection - fantastic here in the uk where some of us have unlimited data - but it will stop if you're using wifi, but this has nothing to do with the app, by default, touch hd will drop wifi connection in standby mode.
it is skin changeable and i use the windows media player one, so i use different app but at least with same face.
the only bad thing about this app is that it takes about 20-40 seconds to load and for a moment you might think it isnt loading but it is. apart from that, it's all joy.

Yes I know the TF3D works fine while in Standby, but it has a different problem.
Well, you could also try something else; use your favorite mediaplayer and let the screen be turned off when the device is faced down.
I use Gyrator to turn off the screen, no stand-by mode nessecary. When you need it be turned on again, press the on/off button.
As a slight aside, Resco Radio also works fine in standby. Just hit Disp Off.

"Display off" is not standby. There is a difference in battery usage between the two.
In standby/suspended mode the device is sleeping and all OS processes are suspended, therefore you can't have audio playback still active then.
In unattended mode, and this is what you are referring to, you can have audio playing while some other functionality is effectively disabled.
Since screen backlight is one of the major contributors to power consumption, turning the screen off is almost as good as running in unattended mode, don't exclude this option.
Sadly most players are not designed to fully take advantage of unattended mode. WMP IS aware of this mode though. However, with the variety of platforms around there's no easy way to make wave and bluetooth drivers remain operational in unattended mode.
Check out http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mobile/WiMoPower1.aspx for an article dicussing power state adjustments for various drivers in unattended mode. Be careful if you change anything, as the result may not be exactly as expected and effective power consumption may increase.
Thanks for the clarification stepw.

Well said, I was just about to type that up, but now you saved me the time and trouble.
On my old but great TYTN2 audio manager used to work with device off... saving battery...

tnx in advance..
Er. . nothing. Mine plays quite happily with the screen off
Mine doesn't I was playing music through bluetooth to the car and screen goes off and media player stops playing until I hit the power button again (I need to find out what the app name is of the media player as well so I can add it as an exception into slide to unlock)

Is that HTC media player or Windows media player?
The HTC one ( the one on the music tab) works fine streaming to my car radio with the screen off. WMP turns off with the screen tho'
I haven't found a fix for this either =( When I use my stereo bluetooth headset all is fine: I can press the power button, device goes into suspend, music keeps playing. But when I'm playing music through the speaker - as I like to do in the morning in the shower - music playback stops when pressing the power button.
I found a registry setting for the HTC audio manager (hkey\localmachine\software\htc\audiomanager_eng\config\enter_suspend) but it didn't do anything =(

It's the HTC media player (one on the tab) you don't happen to know the actual file name that is run when you select it from the tab do you?
I have the same problem with TouchFLo Music tab... power button and stop music!
I have the same problem with the built in player - Core player & Pocket music player although that freezes & generally is unstable - dunno why it was perfect on my X1.
I have a small problem (I don't think I had it before)!
when I put Music tab from TouchFlo playing and press power button the sound stops!
does it happens to you? how can I solve it?
thanks

This is the way it's meant to be.
If it's playing through speakers, the sound stops by pressing the power button. If it's playing through headphones, you can press power and it will still play.
is there anyway to change it in the registry so that we can turn the device off and still play it through the speakers. TP2 got 2 good speakers so it would be nice to leave it in the table and listen music without hearphones

I used S2U2 lastest version, run S2U2 Settings > Advanced > check on "Don't Suspend Power" > Save > Yes, and my TP2 can play music when device off
I wonder if possible cuz I want to save battery
Whenever I press the power button when playing music, the music stop. I have tried to play music and wait for the screen goes off itself but it stay on forever.
i want to know it too,
btw the backlight wont turn off automatically coz the device status is "used" while media playback
Hi
There is an answer to what you want, it called Nitrogen Player.
The Player is really (really) good as a solid MP3 player and it has a function button on-screen to turn off the display and keep playing, excellent for the battery and putting in the pocket while listening to your MP3's.
The proggy is free and is something I use all the time on my TP2, full credit to the developer.
Get it here:

Hope this helps.

I am actually using the coreplayer which also have the ability to turn off the screen while playing.
But thx anyway
Touchflo3d : plug in headphones or a headphones based accessory and it will let you turn off the screen while still playing.

Hi ppl,
I'm setting up car mode to my needs.
Actually I find HTC Music app very fitting for car usage, much more than PowerAmp: bigger album icons, horizontal scrolling (so simple, so effective).
Only issue I have is:
when a notification / navigation instruction plays, HTC Music volume drops to zero (or pauses playback ? hard to say while driving).
I'd like it to just lower volume, just like PowerAmp does.
Have you found a way to do so ?
HTC Music app looks like having very few options...
Many thanks
I have the same issue, music is muted during notifications and GPS commands. Sadly I do not think it is a HTC thing as my Motorola Defy did the same. Very annoying.
When I plug-in my headphones when I stand on Home Screen and than launch music player (such as PowerAmp) - maximum loudness level is normal.
But if I plug-in my headphones when I already launched PowerAmp (or any other player) and song just stopped, maximum loudness level is more louder.
This wierd unstable volume level makes me unhappy((
How to resolve it?
