Any app to control music player over phone - HTC Excalibur

Hey guys ive been searching online for a couple hours now without results just apps that are for ppc what i wanna do is control something like winamp itunes o media player over the phone via bluetooth or wifi something simple skip tracks, volume, stuff like that. kind of like a multimedia remote if anybody is using or now about an app like this please let me know thaks guys

nothing ???
bump. . . nothing guys ?? anybody knows something else besides remote desktop im building a car computer and i wanna be able to control it with the dash well at least the multimedia part

i don't have any specific examples for you, but you may want to look for a web interface for your media player. i don't know if winamp has one, but i know foobar2000 has a plugin for one.
also, xbmc (great media program) has a plugin for one.
don't know how well they'll look on a phone screen, but it's a place to start... you may be able to customize the web interface to show up better on a phone.
hope this helps,

HTC Audio Manager question

Anyone figure out a way to get HTC Audio Manager to recognize the correct order in which to play songs in an album based on ID3 tag info? It seems that unless you manually add the track number to the beginning of each song title that HTC Audio Manager just plays songs in alphabetical order.
Does this annoy anyone other than me? Is there a way to change this?
That problem alone keeps me from using an otherwise beautiful audio player. AD2P and AVCRP working great. A preamp control would be nice too.
Same problem for me! If somebody has a solution, I would be happy!
I am guessing that there is no solution to this is there?
Seems like a dreadful oversite as otherwise it is a great piece of software!!
The thing which it makes it seem particularly odd is that the id3 tag's Title is given during playback, not the filename. If it can read the title surely it could get the track number!
I too am disappointed that this program cant recognize the correct order It really makes the program useless, unless its supposed to just be used for a randomized list.
I recommend GSPlayer though.. it's simple, doesnt have a huge memory footprint, and it supports playlists like a beauty

iTunes for WM6

Hello People,
Any one know if there is an iTunes for WM yet if so WHERE
Nope. I don't think that will happen, ever.
There are other WM based audio managers, though. And there are a lot of PC based media center servers with a web interface, you can use them remotely from WM.
You might be interested in doubleTwist.
It claims to sync even your purchased songs to a lot of devices.
doubletwist
Interesting... Apple just had another update to itunes. anyone having some problems with doubletwist?
Mediamonkey is a great tool with a lot of features. one of the best: it's free (there's also a gold version which isn't free).
it will also recognize your WM-Based phone and you can easily sync songs.
If you're searching for an "iTunes" look-alike player on WM, search the forum for "Mortplayer" (with iMort skin), "S2P", "Melody" or "Lumen"
Cheers
Lumen is still alpha and doesn't play any music yet.
Hello people!
Are there any news on iTunes for WM-based PPC?
Missing the point...
I believe some of the repliers above are missing the point of the question. The real point behind this question is not whether there is a music organizer/sync app but if there is an app for downloading music straight to your phone just like iTunes does. Obviously since the user uses iTunes on his or her computer an iTunes app would be a great solution but ANY program that you could purchase and download music from would be absolutely great. In my opinion that is the one and only thing that still makes me want an iPhone even with all the love I have for my TP2.
So, if anyone knows of a decent app for purchasing and downloading music for a WM phone(similar to iTunes) that would be a great thing to suggest here.

Is windows media player supposed to be this slow?

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.

Windows Media Player filter

Hello, I have been using windows media player for the last couple of weeks because it works well with Voice Command. However all the sound files on my mobile are coming up in the library, even sound effects from games. Is there any way of filtering them out, or set up just one folder for windows media player. The same thing happens with the media panel. Thanks

Yes, that's true. U need to install separatly. Try search option for "Voice speed dial"
I have searched XDA-Devs & Googled, but I still cannot find an answer.
MSVC 1.6 is what you are looking for with voice command.
I have the same issue with WMP. When you update library it pulls every single sound you have on your device. I'm interested in a filter also.
Yea, i would like this too, It seems the only solution is if there was a way for media player to watch just one folder. I'm sorry to say i have no programming or any clue to start with to help you (or myself) with this. Maybe theres a third-party music player that u can find. The only solution i found was to stick all your music on Memory-Card and make sure you dont install anything there.

looking for mp3 player

Hey guys,
Im looking for a good mp3 player, I have Nitrogen but I don't like how it doesnt organise my songs by artist or album or by title. I have all my different albums in different folders and if I wanna hear one song from one album and then another from a different album I have to go back and forth between folders... unless Im missing something with the Nitrogen player.
Also was just wondering if there are similar mp3 players that have something similar to iphones coverflo feature, just think that is a cool feature.
Any suggestions would be awesome.
Thanks
u should google for WinamPAQ
hmm looked at the winamp.but it didnt look finger friendly, is there anything else?
i spent a while looking for a good finger friendly mp3 player for my x1, the clear winner for me was "pocket player" by conduits.
thanks widebhoy, i did some more research and came across that one too, im gonna try it out.
thanks again
Yeah, Pocket Player is definitely the best music player for WM. I love it!
htc audio manager.
* finger friendly
* automatically organizes audio library (by album/artist/whatever)
* fast UI, low battery consumption
Hello
Try MortPlayer, supports MP2, MP3, Ogg Vorbis and WAV, ID3- (V1.0-V2.3) and Ogg-Tag-Information, WinAmp- and MediaPlayer-Playlists (M3U, PLS, ASX, read only), A2DP / AVRCP, Configurable Fonts for Playlists... and much much more.
And for Fingerfriendly using you can download one of the many Skins or create your own Skin.
Pocket Player is good but I think MortPlayer offers more capabilities and is more powerful.
Bye

Have you tried S2P?

In the Conduits forums there is a thread concerning this problem. An admin claims beeing able to provide an early beta of version 4.2 which should fix the issue. He (or she) says if someone is interested one should contact him (or her) by email. The email adress is mentioned in the thread. Maybe it is worth a try?
does anybody have a free version of this pocketplayer?
in their web it only last for 30 days, and then we have to pay

That is because it's not freeware. But it is definitely worth the monney.
i think naitrogen is best
using mortplayer since i`ve got my x1. i tried all the others,but mortplayer allways finds the way back to my device... for those like me who have thousands of tracks on the card, mortplayer will give you the effectivist playlist
If you're still interested I'd recommend either S2P or iMulator. S2P has more function and design, but iMulator is faster.
You also have Nitrogen v 1.1, although it's a bit outdated.
nitrogen
www.nitrogen.wmskins.com
If you'd ask me I'd vote for mort player =)
i think S2P is best - it integrates well with S2U2, and new pay version is AWESOME, but 0.83 is still quite good and if u want to make it fingerfriendlier- all u have to do is get a different skin ( some got bigger buttons ), only downside its not as smooth as WMplayer but got nicer autoplaylist capabilities - its only one i found that lets me play all my music from Storage Card WITHOUT small game files , ringtones etc, because u can NOMINATE your MUSIC folder- that feature alone worth its weight in gold IMO
i basically have 5 MP3 players on my SEX1 - WMP, Nitrogen, S2P, plus 2 panels - OnTheRoad and MediaXP , and think that for pure feature plus stability value- nothing beats S2U2 + S2P in that combo u get - FullScreen CallerID, LockScreen, NotificationReminders, Messages Previews, AND Very Good INTEGRATED FullScreen Album Pic + Nominated Music Folder MP3/M4A/WAV/+music player plus whole lot of other things i'm prrobably forgetting , so if u r NOT using manilla ( which have most of these inbuild) i personally find thta manilla doesnt run too well on stock xperia, i think S2U2 + S2P is a must , as a matter of fact : its on my reinstall list right after SPB Software every time i hardreset , anyway- these things are different for everyone , because it all depends on what kind of rom and soft u running and what are your requirements, e.g- both mortplaer and pocketmusic bundle kept crashing on my X1, but S2P and Nitrogen - work well
hope this helps, mate
