Gapless Music Player

I’m looking for a gapless music player for Diamond. Either it should play separate mp3 files with no gap or at least support playing one big mp3 file with its cue sheet. Is there such a thing for Windows Mobile? Thanks.

Pocket player works for me.. you can choose how long it is supposed to "crossfade" and thus it hides those annoying gaps. Quite similar to the same function in MediaMonkey..

I'm fairly sure it does regular gapless without crossfade too.

Yeah, Pocket Player is the only decent music player out there. It is not free but it is worth the purchase.
As long as you have encoded your MP3's well (such as using -nogap with a LAME encoder) then PP can handle it well

Thanks. This looks great. I'm testing it. What about cue support?

Not sure.
Wired69 has done a great Diamond skin for it however!

And FLAC-support is nice Except that's when you start noticing the 4GB limit..

For the moment the question of gapless doesn't seem that important. HTC’s wonder box can’t even play simple music correctly!

[Q] How to play .mp4 audio files (iTunes)

I have converted from an iPhone to the HTC Fuze. I still have some audio files that are .mp4. I am interesting in playing audio more than video. Can I get the stock player to play these?
If not, what is the best player to download (for free) for playing audio .mp4 files?
Thanks

If they are DRMed, you'll have to search on how to un-DRM them (I wouldn't ask about that here though). If they are not DRMed, you can play them in Windows Media Player.

I know about the DRM thing, but last time I checked, Windows Media does not play mp4. Am I wrong?

With regard to audio files from iTunes (m4a/AAC/mp4 or whatever you want to call them), they will play just fine via the music player interface in Touch Flo 3d. The only problem I've encountered is that for some reason the audio manager will not sort songs in track order. As yet I have not found a fix for this (and no one else seems to be asking about it either). Still, at least I didn't have to convert my iTunes library into MP3 files ; )
Purchased tracks will not play (in fact they will not even be visible).

Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a coding/decoding algorithm mainly used by iTunes to protect the artist and to ensure that the artist gets money for his work since you as a consumer ay have purchased a song or album online. All your own CD's which you may have read-in (ripped) through iTunes will play without any problems.
DRM files, though they appear as MP4 files, cannot be played without the appropriate decoder (iTunes for example).
Ways and methods HOW to bypass this mechanism MUST NOT be discussed here in the forum, do a google research if you interested in.
BTW same issues may happen if you go from iPhone to iPhone or transfer files from PC to PC even if you backed up your iTunes license.
You may bear an Apple store a visit or call Apples cust. support they can provide you with a special key that you do not have to purchase all your songs again.

Track sorting seems to be a general problem of the TF3D player. If you for example have an album which contains two CDs the TF3D player is not able to sort it correctly. It's stupidly sorting:
Track 1 CD1
Track 1 CD2
Track 2 CD1
Track 2 CD2
[...]
Therefore I'm using Pocket Player instead.

Is there a way to launch Pocket Player from TF3D in place of the in-unit player?? I have been searching for an answer for a week here and found not a clue. Any help with this would be appreciated, otherwise I will just launch from programs as I am now doing, but it seems a waste to have a nice tab wasted!

No, I don't think so. Unfortunately the only think you can do is completely disabling the TF3D player by removing it with AdvancedConfig.

I wonder if it's possible to at least get the Audio Manager to play tracks according to file name. At least that way if tracks were numbered 01, 02 etc that would get around the problem of it not seeing the track number in the tag.
Trouble is I can't work out how to do this.... I've been rumaging in the registry under HKLM\software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng but there doesn't seem anything obvious to me. Maybe a key could be added? Anyone got any ideas?

How about mp4 video?
It took 20 minutes to load a video mp4 file onto my microsd card, but it's there. Windows Media Player won't recognize it. The video player app portion of the camera will actually play the file, but it takes several seconds to launch and is generally choppy after that. It's a shame, too, because the video quality is great ... it's just very choppy.
Is there Windows Mobile player out there somewhere that plays these mp4 files SMOOTHLY? I knew the Tilt had issues with the driver not playing video smoothly, but I didn't think it was a problem with the Fuze. Sure would like to watch some quality video in mp4 mode on my Fuze rather than my video ipod.

I love this forum, alot of smart people here (usually).
To talk of disabling software or this drm would be wrong. But Itunes itself posesses a way for you to back up your music. Its totally legit, and a common problem out there. (itunes not playing on winmo or other devices).
So if its a totally legit way of using the itunes program itself, to simply create a backup of your songs... why is it so horrible to discuss?
No one is suggesting hacking or disabling the drm, simply getting the music they paid for to work.

Audio Player??

Is there any Developer working in a new audio player, with a lot of new features including just play songs from the folder you select.
I use my g1 on my car alot and the stock audio players sucks!
for example I can't play songs from a specific folder, the player takes all the songs from the g1 sdcard. the shuffle option don't work right I have about 1500 songs and it playes the sames songs when on shuffle etc.
I'm desperate for a new audio players with good features, specific to use the g1 as a real mp3 player, and for car mp3 play use.

TuneWiki perhaps?

^^^ I hate tune wiki. It never displays the right album artwork.

Hey there! Not trying to hijack your thread, but I got a quick question...I noticed that you said you use your G1 in the car. I have Ford Sync and I have heard the music/navigation broadcast over the speakers, but only when I was actually on a call. How are you connecting? Bluetooth doesn't work and I've also tried using the usb cable.
I also second your "request" for a new music player. The G1 is lacking in the music/video department. My boyfried has an iPhone and I just can't argue when it comes to the media part of the phone...my only argument is having to use iTunes.

Perrosky, have you tried aPlayer?

I'll agree with you on those points. I have a lot of poorly-tagged music and just being able to browse by folder/file would be helpful. Shuffling a folder would be nice as well.
I ended up creating a ton of playlists to accomplish this with the current players. Tunewiki is a step up from the bundled player, but it is still quite lacking.
Some other features I'd like to see:
1. Audio controls like EQ, Balance, etc.
2. Bookmarking. If I'm 15 minutes into a 30 minute audiobook track I'd really prefer to not have to remember where I left off when I start listening again.
I'm sure it is only a matter of time before somebody ports an open source audio player to Android. If they can do it for Rockbox, they can do it for android...

Funny it does for me. Best player out there right now. Coreplayer should be coming out with one soon for android.

AMEN! I Have been searching for a media player that could do that.
That is the ONLY thing I miss about my windows mobile phone is the windows media player!
I hope coreplayer can do this. Almost 80% of my songs are poorly tagged (ID3) and being able to play an entire folder would be perfect!

Best audio player for Kaiser?

I am a long term kaiser owner, couple of years now.
I decided to try it as my day to day mp3 player. I normally use a Sony dedicated player but as I have a spare 16GB micro SD, I thought I would put that to use.
Does anyone have any tips on a good audio player that is installable as a cab because I have no real knowledge of flashing custom roms (apart from orginal ones, ie, setup.exe, next, next )
many thanks all for a great place for info

Best AudioPlayer i.m.o is PocketPlayer download the demo give it a shot

Best audio player and it's FREE...is Mortplayer. I use it on my TyTN II and have used it for many years now. I am unable to upload cab, but the latest is MortPlayer-v3.31b77. You won't need another mp3 player. Just Google it and you'll find it.

cheers all

Sadly I used the windows media player, there was a way to turn the screen off with it so I used it.

NITROGEN IS THE WAY TOO GO
fast,simple,light, and you change change the skin
always been using this

yeah windows media player all the way

The only thing I have to say about Nitrogen is that it does not sort my memory by album, artist, etc... Otherwise, I MUCH prefer Nitrogen to anything else, just feels 'right'... all the buttons do what I feel they should do, the scroll wheel is the volume, and the volume is independant of all other sounds on the device. Allows me to balance my voice navigation agaist my mp3s, etc.
How does Mort player stand up?

+1 for Nitrogen

Best media player? Any recommendations?

Windows media player seems to be really crappy to use and slow.. and nice smooth interface thats very popular for playing music?

I use pocket player. It does everything I need, sound quality is good and it has a great library.
Disadvantage: It's not freeware.

Nitrogen - free, cool .. but has some minor bugs .. occasional stutter and some mp3 can't be played. But hey, it's rather young project.
CorePlayer - not free, not as good controls, but usable, and has best audio quality (I mean NO stutters ever, if you check 'higher priority for audio').
And on Xperia you have media panel. It works. But I play songs by folders, not by albums or playlist, so no joy for me.

try s2p with s2u2 (just disable all the autolock stuff).. I love it just because it turns itself on when plugin headphones or connecting a stereo bluetooth device and it stop she music and closes when you remove them.. Sound quality is similar to wmp bc it uses its engine (though i gotta say its ok) To me, this is the most convenient music player (it does playlists too)
however, i've been pushed by a friend to try core player (i don;t if i got it right..) He told me that was the best player he tried so far.. then again, he has a raphael... so dunno...
for convenience, i like s2p (mainly if your lazy or dont want to hunt down for the player and kill it later )

core player as the x panel had a lot of issues playing acc files

Hi, Do you want an audio player or Vedio player?
If you need the first one, Pocket Player will be better.
Coreplayer is good for vedio, but only WMP could work with X.264 code.

If you need the Audio Player, Pocket Music Player will be better.
Pocket Music Player supports X-Bass and Preamp. X-Bass + Some Custom EQ + Preamp made very good sound.
I recommand you Pocket Music Player.
