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

MP3 Player

My questions is. How can I play MP3 files of my storage card. Not one for one with Wmp. But like a mp3player.
I can't make a playlist because wmp opens only my documents.
Thanx

could you give some more details into what it is that you acutally want and whats wrong with wmp if oversly is the best mp3 player for wm5 and it can play files from your sd card

One I like to use for playing MP3 and WMA is TCPMP, it's advertised a movie player but is also good for playing music and shows the album covers, can browse folders on storage cards as well as on windows network shares.

Oke. But how can i play with wmp, Mp3 files of my storage card. If i go to library I can only select files of my documents. Not anything else.

Bottom right corner, select that, and select Library and select the Storage card. if your stuff is not there, do a "Update library".

Network Drive Mapping on Rhodium?

Hey guys i want to know if its possible to map a drive on my network so that i can access the files via Coreplayer to directly watch it.
Has anyone done that before? Possible or not?
Please feel free to answer, infos, tips, anything
Nice evening guys.

it's pretty easy to do locally with a good file browser. I use resco, it's a paid app but it's great. map a drive like you would on a pc with your wireless connected to your local internet, as long as the drive or folder is shared on the host pc it works great. I can watch movies stored on my pc on my tp2.
as long as you have coreplayer set as the default mp3 or whatver player as well.

No, most all media players will have somewhere in their settings the option to set the player as the default handler for different media types (.mp3, .avi, etc). Whichever media player you use, just find those settings and make sure it's set to that for whatever media types you're trying to access over the network. That way, once you navigate to the files in resco file explorer, and click on them, that player should recognize them and open to play them.

To test it just open IE and type your networkpath as URL (\\your-pc\share\mp3) and the phone should open file explorer in the mp3 folder. select a file to play and coreplayer starts. If coreplayer isn't your default player the file will be played with WMP.

This should be usefull

media player playing game sounds

I downloaded fun game called sniper vs sniper, which i really like. However It seems all my media players including the default one are picking up the ingame sounds as songs =/.
Does anyone know a workaround for this? I would like to keep the ingame sounds just not have the media player recognize them.

what media player are u using? i use Mixzing and it allows u to choose what folders to add musics or media to it from
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.mixzing.basic works better for me then htc or android player see if that helps u might like it better too

Place a file called ".nomedia" in the directories you dont want your media player/gallery app to index

I forgot about the .noindex trick but I prefer Mixzing anyway.

This does not seem to work with HTCs gallery and media player. Anyone else concur or am I doing something wrong?

Works for me with the stock media player and gallery, I hide my 'Audiobooks' directory that way which has both images and mp3's.
