I have the HTC home plugin installed which has the nice media player laucher on the home screen. But when I hit "Launch media player" it always opens windows media player. I also have HTC audio manager installed.
How do change the default media player, so that when i hit "launch media player" on the HTC home plugin, HTC audio manager opens and not windows media player?
Thanks
You can set this using Kaiser Tweak - see sticky post at the top of this Forum.
E100 Remote auto starts Audio Manager....
...but I want it to start Pocket Music 5 which is the player I use. When I use Kaiser Tweak the default player only gives a choice between Audio Manager and WMP - how can I add Pocket Music to that to be able to select as default
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.
Hi...
Im considering downloading Audio Manager, predominantly for the mp3 ring tone editing software.
However, Im concerned what Ive read on here about Audio Manager making itself the default media player !
If I do download Audio Manager, will I easily be able to switch which media player I want as the default ?
TIA.
Regards,
Mark.
Hallo, I have problem with file association for HTC Audio Manager.
When I set .mp3 [audiomanager.exe "%1"] in Advanced Configuration Tool (File associations section ) and launch .mp3 file example from File Explorer, Audio manager run, but without playing. On screen is old mp3 file from previos playing...
When I set .mp3 back to [WMPlayer.exe "%1"] and launch some .mp3 file, Windows media player run and play .mp3 file which I select. It is correct.
I need to run .MP3 file and launch and play it with Audiomanager, not WMP.
Help me, please.
you don't need to associate mp3s unless you want to associate a certain program to play it while browsing in a file explorer.by default audiomanager will detect the mp3 in the library and should play it back with no issues
Thanks for replay. Unfortunately, I need to associate MP3 with Audio Manager.
I use pRSSread for downloading and managing podcasts. When I run podcast from this program (it is same like run from File Manager), only WinMedia play podcast correct. Audio Manager open itself, but do not play selected file, see my previous post. :-(
I want to play MP3 from pRSSread on Audio manager. This program is more comfortable, powerful volume, nice bar on HTC Home, display MP3 tags, ...
Is there anybody, who can run MP3 in file manager and Audio Manager open and play?
It is strange, that I am alone with wants of this function...
Thank you!
Nope you're not alone. I just stumbled upon this thread searching for the exact same answer for the exact same reason... this problem is so freaking annoying. I'd rather have it launch into HTC's Audio Manager because I love the UI compared to all others players I've used. Plus I can turn off the display, and it keeps playing, if I could figure out how to make Windows Media Player do this instead of stop playing the podcast than I might settle for that as a work around.
Another annoying thing you may have noticed is it doesn't support PLS files either.

After trying to open an .mp3 file directly with audiomanager (using Resco Explorer) it stoped working.... Now it does open, but it skips all files in the library one by one, not playing even one of them.... whats happening??? any solution?

I fully agree with you... after hard resetting my P3300 Audio Manager is not able to find any titles to play! I spent a long time playing with playlist editors and trying to copy music files to almost every location but it still does not seem to work. I read it does not play files which does not have id3 tags and also it plays files only from device - not the storage card. Further analysis could get me the real cause of the problem but I am already exhausted. Any help guys? Do drop me a note please
I have suddenly gotten a wierd problem with the stock music player where all my songs have duplicate entries but only one of them work
Is there any refresh option on the build-in music library?
EDIT:
Please delete. I have found a solution myself.
Solution I found.
Use setting in PlayerPRO and restrict music folders to SD card and do a library refresh
