Here is the situation...
When using the RSS reader and downloading a podcast, click on the podcast and it launches WMP. I don't want WMP to launch, i would like the podcast (which is a mp3) to play in TF3D audio player automatically.
I suspect this might be easily fixed by associating the mp3 extension to TF3D audio player. Or perhaps this might be a lot more complex and require modification to the RSS reader program.
I have been trying to solve this via registry entries, but so far have been unsuccessful. Any help or ideas, would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

I love the audio integration into HTC Home, but it appears we only have two choices, Windows Media Player and Audio Manager. I much prefer Conduits Pocket Player and I'm sure others prefer Core Player or something else. Is there a way to get the audio tab of HTC home to work with one of these 3rd party media players?
Any ideas on this one?
I've asked this before in other threads, no answer.
Instead of just asking, I've been looking in the registry, nothing jumps out. One value says which player to use and when HTCAudio is selected it reads "2", but how it knows what 2 is, I have no idea.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
change 2 to a 1 and soft reset that should change it to windows media player
htc audio manager - windows media player...
i would like to use gsplayer
I'm dying to know this too.
I want to use coreplayer. (Posted it as a feature request at the coreplayer site as well.)
PocketPlayer has its own today screen plugin.
Note: I have never messed with podcasts up to this point, so I will easily look like I don't know anything on this
There is a lot of stuff to find here related to what RSS reader to use, etc, and I can explore that...but...
I have MS Voice command, and hope to be able to call up podcasts with it. What I'm not sure if is if MS Voice Command requires MS Media Player to operate for playing music. I assumed so, so I thought I woudl download podcast mp3 files, and create a playlist called Podcasts.
But, I find for some reason that when I try to import the downloaded MP3 into the library that it will not come in.
So, I"m left wondering, what is best method to do podcasts on the Tilt, and be able to call them up with MS Voice Command?
Any thoughts based on that? (In meantime, I"ll be reading the multitude of threads on RSS Readers, etc.)
Thanks!
I am gathering from the lack of response that it must not be possible to use MS voice command to play any downloaded MP3s (podcasts).
Yes you can. However, you will need to sync it through desktop WMP. Before you sync it you must fix it's properties though. You must give it a title & Artist name, Genre, Album Name, etc... In MSVC you can only launch media by these types of commands, i.e. Play news, play podcast play "artist name". Read the MSVC help file regarding media selections.
Also depending what you mark the MP3 format as being hanled by (File Asosciation) you can have it play in most popular media players. I prefer TCPMP.
Before you sync it you must fix it's properties though

That must be my problem. I'll see if I can figure that out. Thanks for the input. Sounds kinda painful though, as I'd have to manually input properties on every one I download to get it to load in WMP.
I've been thinking of looking into the TCPMP. Will MS Voice command work with that application?
[EDIT]
Hmmm...actually, my problme is that WMP won't even pull the file in for me to then add the necessary information to synch it. I'll have to figure that one out.
My wife uses an iPod, and we share music libraries. I'd like to use iTunes to sync my Tilt but of course, activesync won't do that. To solve the problem, I'm thinking of buying two pieces of software:
TunesSync, to sync the library
http://www.pocketmac.net/products/tunessync_windowsmobile/index.html
PocketMusic, with AAC plugin
http://www.pocketmind.com/pocketmusic.htm
That should do it, but does anybody know of a different, less expensive way to do this? I'm looking at blowing $40 total for software here. Is their a better media player out there?
that will work - i used to used that path, but eventually converted everything over to windows media, which syncs much better. don't forget that anything you purchased through iTunes most likely has DRM turned on, and won't play, even though you have the AAC plugin (which plays M4A, not M4P files)
There is an AAC plugin for media player linked around here. I use it for all my standard (non-DRM) iTunes files.
the pocketmusic AAC plugin will allow M4A files to be played in media player as well
Corecodec Player plays all that audio files. I use it and it's very good.
Recommend it!
Cheers.
Please be patient, I am new to HTC and WM6 and I'm hoping to get some recommendations
I have about 4GB of music on my micro SD that I copied off my iPod, so it's in acc format which the audio manager doesn't recognize. I downloaded TCPMP and the acc plugin and it plays the music but its doesn't show the song info (title, artist etc) till you open the song.
Also you can't search by artist, or genre like you can in audio manager
Can anyone recommend a good audio player or someway to get audio manager to recognize acc files
I really prefer opera mini over IE but I have to go into the java app first to select it, is there anyway to get an opera shortcut onto the start screen
I really appreciate any advice or tips for the newbie questions
Opera Mobile is designed for smartphones and should give you a regular icon to load it with, mini is made primarily for regular phones with only their crappy build in browsers which is why it works only in java.
iTunes music is the most annoying on planet earth. You can convert it to mp3 or delete the DMA off of it to allow it to play properly but its time consuming and annoying. I dont know of any plugin for Audio Manager that will allow you to play the iTunes music, only what other people have created for other players.
Now if these songs were once full on mp3's or cd's that you copied into iTunes you would be better off copying / ripping those files over to the sd card.

Yeah most of it is CD rips, I was hoping to avoid having to rip them again
When you initially ripped them did you tell iTunes to connect to the net and pull the information and creat an id3 tag for it? If not then thats why none of the track info is pulling over. iTunes will read the title / cd / artist name off the disct but when you use them as mp3's or in other players I have heard of some issues with the information not being read properly...
All my music is in mp3, ogg, FLAC and other formats on my computer, if my wife wants anything she pulls it over. She has bought some things off iTunes but they are such a pain to use elsewhere that eh.
You should have set ITunes to only rip to MP3 for compatibility reasons such as this. I'm not too sure what/if anything can read aac files on Windows Mobile. I know their is a way to get Opera Mini's icon as well as a way to have it function as your default browser (that is clicking on hyperlinks in e-mails, sms, ect) bring you to Opera Mini. There's quite a lot of info on that if you search.
As far as Opera Mobile, yea it may be designed for Smartphone, and yea it may be better than IE, but it does not in anyway compete with Opera Mini in terms of speed and website rendering.
Hi all,
got something that's driving me crazy, i can sync my music with windows media player fine and the music copies across as it should however when i come to play the music with touchflo 3d it only shows the first lot of music i put on.
I cannot seem to figure out how to refresh the libray on touchflo 3d...
does anyone have the answer for me?
thanks
If you tap 'Library', then slide accross to Albums... do your recently synced items show up there?
I am having this problem too
I cannot see any of my music in TF3D music player
no nothing is showing up i resynced all my music with media player and still nothing shows, it nows says no music found.
there must be a better way to sort the library.
there shouldnt be this hassle just to put music on the phone!
I think you require too much for a phone so cheap.
Try the advantage,or wait for HD.

i want your job if you consider this to be (a phone so cheap)
you get paid too much.
on the plus side to the normally challenged people out there , you have to update the library in windows media player, then go into library on touchflo 3D, select all songs and play the first track it then updates all the tracks for you.

Will
Delete Application Data/HTC/AudioManager/AudioManager_Eng.vol and do soft reset.
this will rescann your complete library.
i got the same problem and this helped
I still cannot get it to work - all my music syncs of from media player and I can play it on media player on the diamond but on TF3D it just hangs on Searching!!!
If i delete all my media and load 1 song it works fine if I do the above deleting of the HTC application folder but if I then try to add some more it does not work!!
Has anyone got this working? or is it just me?????

prob just you lol, works for me try this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397819&highlight=tf3d+music+albums
just add the music to internal storage yourself? :S works fine for me
nope didn't work...must be just me!!
I have moved to S2P but its a shame i wanted to use the built in stuff
I had the same problems too. Until I read and followed the instructions for adding songs and album art and updating the library on TF3D.
Now for the enchilada!! Does anyone know how you can update windows media's library (once you have added more songs to the Diamond from PC) and set it to search in a particular folder instead of adding all the media files on the phone(tomtom files, alert & warning sounds and the like) to your music library. Only solution thus far more is to delete these files every time i update, which is now getting a bit tiring .
Any help or suggestions welcomed.
