In other WM ppc we used to install WMP skins in program files\Windows media player folder. In T-Diamond it doesn't show up. Can any body provide details as to change WMP SKIN
WMP instead of HTC player in TF3D? Is it possible?
Skins disabled in WM Player?
Further to the above,
I too am dropping WM skins in to the Media Player folder, however, when I browse for the skins in Media Player, the Next and Previous buttons are greyed out. either indicating that media player cant see the skins (though it sees the default skin in the same folder) OR the ability has been locked out.
I'm running an O2 Ignito.
So - is their a reg key to enable skins, if this is indeed the issue?

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.
Did some searching, but couldnt find much. I'm looking for an mp3 player that will use the htc home plugin and show album art. The album art doesnt have to show in the plugin, but it would be nice for it to show up in the player itself. I already know that TCPMP shows album art, but its not finger friendly, or usable with htc home plugin.
found what i was looking for searching the forum with google. much easier then the forum search function.
Melody looks pretty cool.
Use the HTC Home customiser and change from Audio Manager to Media Player. This is available here and is discussed here, you can edit the registry directly if you are comfortable.
To use Window Media Player, you have to change the following registry:
"HKLM/SOFTWARE/HTC/Music Plug-In/" change the value to 1
MusicPlayer = 2 (HTC Audio Manager)
MusicPlayer = 1 (Windows Media Player)
You may need to sync the content from within Media Player on your PC to have album art enabled. Album art will not show in the today screen plugin but is visible in Media Player.
i copied direclty to my card, thats probably why the album art didnt cary over.
i can't understand if i can have all my albums listed in the T3D and choose them [like the photos] or i can just see the songs are playing...
Now i put two albums and i see just one cover [every song has the sam cover obviously...]
how does it works?
isn'it a kind of library?
hey
yes you can just download the free software mp3tag and add your foto save and put into the internal storage
ciao
yep.. but... in the music tab can't i see ALL the albums loaded in the diamond? or just the "playing" one?
IMHO, you should forget the inbuilt music tab, download S2P from these forums and use that!!!!
i've tried it.
i don't like it all.
why should i use something like the iphone??
when you need look all album you must create playlist with all song in your diamond and then you look all album image in TF3D, bud for skip to other album, you must skip all song in previous album.

i use S2P v0.40 on my diamond and all work great.
in your trhead is only exe file no install cab !!
just place a JPEG image called "folder.jpg" in the folder of the album. That works for me on virtually _every_ application I use that supports cover art:
HTC Manila Audio Player
S2P 0.41e
XBMC - completely off topic ;-)
So I have it all-in-one...
BTW: I don't use WMP to sync my music to my device - i simply copy the folders over to the device. Wether it's done via ActiveSync or USB HDD mode doesn't make a difference for me.
As stated before the HTC Manila audio player places a rescaled version of the image right next to it in the same folder. S2P also seems to place some files in there...
THank you!

THis workaround really worked! Thank you!
So far, no one has answered the original poster's question.
The answer to your question diamondino is whatever is in the Now Playing list in HTC Audio Manager is what will show up in the Manila audio player. You can create a playlist containing anything you want (i.e. all your music) and it will all show up in the 3D player. Or, if you just select an album from your library and press play, it will automatically add that album to Now Playing, and that's what will show in the 3D player.
Unfortunately, there is no way to scroll through albums on the 3D player, only songs in a playlist.
Hi everyone,
I removed T3D from my diamond and replaced it by SPB Mobile Shell 2 (much faster, customizable). But Windows Media Player cannot be used easily with fingers, especially when you want to choose your playlist etc.
Does anyone knows any application that can be used as easily as the media player in TF3D ?
Thanks.
Guillaume
the best for me is s2p ! You can find it easy here in xda.
Have a nice day
I tried both S2P and and Pocket Player. And I choose to keep Pocket Player. The interface is more atractive and there is more options. Waiting for future updates of S2P
How can an alternate music player be launched by pressing the Touch Flo 3D music tab ?
I've searched high and low for this and can not find it. All I am finding is the HTC Audio Manager without album art support. Does anyone know where it is?
It looks like that the Dutty's ROM has HTC AudioManager_1_2-1212.716 that has album art but I cant find the cab for it.
Does it not exist?
Please help.
If this is what you are referring to.

He has a screenshot of Windows media player with Audio manager skin. See in the picture at the top is says "WINDOWS MEDIA". There is no HTC Audio Manager with Album Art as far as I know unless you have Diamond or Touch Pro with Touch flo 3d.
However, you might find something interesting in the Touch Flo 2d forums
Do a search for Touch flo 2d or manila 2d
ok I see. I was taken in by the AudioManager look and not realized it was just a WMP skin.
Thanks for the info. I'll take a look at the manila 2d stuff.
Why do you want audiomanager with Album art support anyway when you can use Windows media that already has album cover support. Or S2P with Album cover support, or TCPMP with album cover support or..... There are many to choose from is what I am saying. You don't have to limit yourself to Audiomanager.
I like the finger friendly interface of AudioManager. WMP is not finger friendly.
I will check out the rest of the apps that were mentioned.
Thanks
As said earlier, you might want to take a look into TouchFlo 2D / Manila...
I just flashed the lastest Garmin ROM with Manila, and it has Audio Manager with Cover Albums. So maybe in the Manila Thread you will find the CAB for this version of Audio Manager (version 2 build 1819.2129, thats what i have).
I also love Audio Manager compared to WMP or CorePlayer, and also it works great with my remote control.
I also Use Mort Player for in the car as it has some really nice big finger friendly buttons + Supports album cover as well. Mort Player is also free
edit: for mort player just download skins from the mort player web page to get the skin for car to get the big buttons skin

I just flashed the Garmin 4.3a rom and my Covert Art does not work in Audio Manager. How did you get it to work? Do you need a jpg in the album folder called something specific?

Yes. Call the jpg "cover" or "folder" One or the other or maybe both will work. Then place the album cover jpg in the album folder. This is the same with WMP - S2P and TCPMP. TCPMP will show some embedded album art sometimes too and I thing so will S2P

i just used this added this skin to WMP and i love it. It seems like WMP works a hell of a lot better than htc audio manager when it comes to bluetooth headphones. i simply had a lot of problems w/ audio manager.
BUT...does anyone know if there's anyway to actually arrange the songs in WMP by the actual song name itself, in alphabetical order? i must say i HATE that, it makes going to a particular song extremely time consuming especiallying since there's no search function or anything

You might want to look for a play list editor of some sort. There are several available that I have seen. I only tried one and honestly don't use it that much so don't really know if I can arrange songs alphabetically
OK I just checked. the Play list Manager I am using can sort the songs alphabetically. I will try to find the link to where I found it but you can try to search yourself it is called Vicsoft PlaylistMgr. If I can't find the link I will look for my copy of the cab and post it here later.
OK I tried doing the obvious searches and not a single hit and I don't have the patience tonight to keep searching online for the link. I really wish I could give credit to the author of this freeware app.
Here is my copy of the cab. It was easier for me to find then I thought.
have fun with it.
edit: I found the link http://mobile-sg.com/software/?p=PlaylistMgr&platform=ppc
Check it out (Lots of screenshots and information and if you feel that this app is worthy of a donation - The author is accepting donations.
thanx for the help man. i download the program, and i can't get it to work at all. it wont open playlists, it'll search for playlists but then wont allow me to open it or edit it. and it wont allow me to save any playlists. i guess i'll have to live w/out alphabetical playlists for a while longer.
hey i downloaded the newer/larger/possibly non corrupted version on their website. finally got everything up and running...even finished all the playlists for the 30+ albums i have on my microSD card. thanx for the help man.
stupid browser, sorry for the double post
