Is there a way to change the default audio handle on HTC Home? I'm using a small add on to change it to HTC Audio Manager but it doesn't seem to work, probably because the audio manager is installed on SD.
Is there a reg key for this?
Thanks!
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Music Plug-In
"1" = Windows Media Player
"2" = Audio Manager
Not sure if it will cause the problems with storage card. dont forget to reset after reg change.
You can also somehow set it to a specific location, I'm pretty sure HTC Home Customiser allows you to do this, but however it does it, doesnt always 'work'.
ya I think I've tried this, just upgraded to PDACorner WM6.1 ROM. Everything else is running smoothly it's just the Music Launcher that doesn't seem to launch anything but WM.
I've removed it from the Today's right now... till I can figure it out!
Cheers,
Sam
I was looking for this as well, want to add in an option for TCMP to run instead of audio manager or wmp.
Theres been a few roms where its been replaced from what i can see in search.

Is there anyway to get the wmp on the today screen like the tilt does with wm6 ? I dont understand why it doesnt already
Assuming you have HTC Home, HTC Music Plug-in installed, then it is just a matter of selecting the Music Plug-in at the Today setting. The Music plug-in option let you decide which Music player you want to use.

My suggestion is to use HTC Home Plugin Customizer v0.8b. It makes tweaking your settings very easy, including the default media player. The thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319308
Installed Audio Manager on top of Schap's 4.01 lite ROM. However, it doesn't sort by track number, only tracks alphabetically. Was running vp3G's 3.62 before and it sorted by track number as I'd have expected. Any idea why or what I can do to change this?
Which version did you load? The latest versions do sort by track order.
I installed this version and it sorts by track number...woo hoo...been waiting for this for ages
Has anyone figured out a way to make Audio Manager play files other than .mp3? (AAC+ for example)
I tried this version but it does not give the right playlenght. The slidebar to move thrue a single mp3 file is totally filled and the time is wrong.
anybody else have this problem?
I don't have this problem. My MP3 files are encoded using VBR 192K. The slidebar and time is all fine.

same question here
whats the best recording format and bit rate for playing music on Audio Manager?
I am trying to change my default media player from WMP to Audio Manager.
I have made the changes in Schaps Advanced Config and in EmuNutz HTC Home Customiser.
I've scanned my registry to find anything that looks remotely like a rogue entry, but found nothing.
Am I going mad, stupid or both?
When I play .mp3s via RSS Hub, they pull up WMP every time. File manager shows .mp3 files with WMP icons and starts up WMP when double-clicked.
What am I missing?
I have flashed with 2 of CRC's ROMs, PDCorner's, and now even gone back to good old Randomise's. Problem still persists. Checked out my SD card for rubbish and can't find anything.
Does flashing re-write the whole registry, or could some "rubbish" be left in there?
Any clues would be greatly appreciated.
The title is basically self explanatory... windows media player is realllllly slow. It's usually the only task running. I have the 6.1 rom. I try to play music off the home screen and it just takes forever to load! And bogs down the whole phone. Anyone else having this problem? I'd just use the media manager but I like having the music on the home screen...
well, you have to take into account the hardware you're using...these phones, yeah...not so beasty

Also take into account that it's "Windows" Media Player empathis on the Windows, lack of codec & streaming support old unrefined and just plain right lazy, i know what you mean about having the panel for quick eaze of access, but there are far better Media Players, Pocket Player choice for audio & CorePlayer "TCPMP is the free version" for Video, you can set up SmartToolKit with gadgets to allow quick access to your most wanted programs, some screen shots sorry they are old on stock WM6.
Hope this helps.

I use Pocket Player myself and of course TCPMP. But if your "slowing down" try cleaning out your Notification Que (use SKTools) I found over 1000 duplicate itmes in there and after I deleted them.. my Dash was speedy again
I also clean out the reg (bad values, old values etc) with SKTools fairly regulary now... it makes a huge difference.
Also open media player and go into options, network and change internet connection speed to wifi. Also uncheck detect connection speed, that will help speed it up if you do plan to use it instead of another media player.
stats555 please forgive me if i'm wrong but i'm pretty sure he's commenting about playing .mp3 as WMP is pretty useless to stream anything, so to change network settings isn't going to help regarding performance as i don't think WMP checks network unless streaming. Think his best bet is to get TCPMP for now and give it a try then get his hands on Pocket Player like the rest of us
I think Bupahs got it spot on cleaning up the notification que.
I hope this is in the right spot!
I finally got fed up with my Fuze and I bought a Tilt 2.
I am having a couple of problems which I "think" is related to WM6.5
1) The sites that stream .mp3 will not open Windows Media Player and it tries to save it as a file instead of playing it. It looks like WMP isn't set to open .mp3 files??? Is there a fix for this?
2) I like to listen to audio from talkstreamlive.com and when I open the webpage, the list of shows is screwed up. There's no space between the list items, instead, it shows one name half on top of the line below for the whole list. I tried adjusting the screen zoom, but it makes no difference. If I fire up the Fuze which has WM6.1, all is well.
I tried searching for similar issues, but so far I haven't found anything like these.
If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it!
Thanks

Well I dont use WMP for anything anymore. I use Coreplayer and it will open up URLs and play mp3's mp4's etc.
This may be the easiest solution for you.
Thanks for the quick reply!
I installed the new version of CP and that solved one issue, so how to I make CP the default player instead of WMP? I know how to do these adjustments on desktop PC's, but these mobile devices are a new deal for me...
I also solved the screwed up display too!!
Thanks soo much for the help!
