Just fancied a change , and I'm quite liking it, unfortunately I now have
no weather program and I need to use windows media player for everything,
Was wondering if someone could recommend me a good media player and
weather app,
Or is there any way of still using the weather and music player from touchflo 3D
(prob not but just thought Id ask)
Trying out SPB Weather , thinks I'm gonna buy this, seems
so much better than an earlier version I tried,
Now just looking for a music player
Fixed , got a hold of pocket player ,does the job nicely

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 think my Diamond can get a bit faster. I used TF3D Config and then noticed something interesting: It seems like TF3D gets a bit of a boost if I use less Tabs. So I decided to delete some tabs which I don't use often. For example the internet tab - I simply put an Opera shortcut on the program tab and done.
Now to the music thing..
I was wondering if there is might be a way to enjoy music on the diamond without the candy and sometimes unhandy Music tab on TF3D. I like the Windows Media Player from WinMo, cause its very basic but opens with a very usable archive-view which shows my music. So i think its cool if we put the media player with a shortcut on the program-tab and get rid of the TF3D Music Tabs.
...But to things are somehow disturbing:
1. The Media Player isn't that cool when it comes to mp3 tags, so I need a small app which let me edit tags on my music files
2. Of course, to make this idea work, we need a black media player skin which suits into the interface. Don't know where to get this. It should have eyecandy things like showing the albumcover, huge buttons for tapping with the finger, or less buttons plus a concept how to configure the diamond buttons with the media player.
Any ideas how to solve this? Or are you all satisfied with the TF3D Music functionality?
Im not satisfied with TF3D as a whole, mainly because of the music tab.
So I use PocketMusic. For me this is how music on the pda is supposed to be.
TF3D music player is not for nomad use. The interface is cute, but really not made for an everyday use.
I've tried a lot of music players on my diamond.
The 3 best ones in my opinion are :
1) Conduits Pocket Player (has a WMP-like skin, btw)
2) MortPlayer
3) PocketMusic.
Each one has pros and cons. Though, the huge amount of config options in Pocket Player and MortPlayer allows quite good things, much more than with PocketMusic.
Though, I still haven't found a way to correctly map my volume buttons with any of these three apps (see my other post about this issue).
The best combo I've got for the moment is AEBPlus + Pocket Player : Long Press DOES work for volume buttons, but inhibits them in TouchFlo.
Pocket player has some cool features, I agree, but in my opinion pocketmusic simply has the best sound.
I think the built in manilla mp3 player stinks so hard i cant describe it :-D
So are there any good MP3 players around, preferably where you dont have to use the stylus.
Whats your favourite MP3 player for the Diamond?
i would really like the audiomanager seen on the touch cruise etc. on my diamond. Too bad i haven't found a working version till today for the diamond
audiomanager is great, to use with scroll wheel and fingers and is fast.
Definitely S2P...
I'm using S2U2 also... they work great together

Totally agree!!! I use wmp with resume plugin for audiobooks. s2p is ok but quite slow and weird ui imo.
Custom music tab
I have downloaded bunch of cd's on my Diamond with album covers.
But i have problem creating "Playlists on the Music tab"., like the one that came pre loaded with phone.
PLEASE HELP !!!
Whats a good Media Player like the one on HTC TruFlo3D?
I dont like the S2P also, its a crappy iphone knock off, no offense to the developer but this is coming from someone who had a iphone.
i also try lookin for the HTC Audio Manager and some how i think i downloaded the wrong ver cuz it was rather small on the my screen.

its been asked and answered several times before and varies from person to person....alot recommend coreplayer...
coreplayer is to complex. am looking for something simple but with alot of functionality, am coming from a iphone so am looking for a audio player along that line, so far i like the HTC TouchFlo3D player but thats only enable when u have touch flo on, if i disable touch flo am stuck without music
Players
Mort player maybe? It has some simple layouts and deep features if you dig into it.
I use the WMP most of the time. Simple and already there.
What I would like is a app the sends playback control commands to WMP while another app like GPS is in the foreground. Something like butler that would use swipe L and R (on the joypad surface not the screen) for prev and next track, maybe swipe up to toggle play/pause and down for next play list or album? That would not interfere with most apps and would put and end to 95% of my task switching.
If you're coming from an iPhone and are expecting similar software, there really isn't any. You'll just have to go out and get an iPod Touch. It's not that WinMo media players are worse, they're just different, so if you can't get used to having something different you probably won't find anything you like.
As always, searching is good. To get you started, look for CorePlayer, TCPMP, Conduits Pocket Player, or MortPlayer.
Ive tried searching and googling but I cannot find the best dedicated Music app for the HTC touch pro.
Any help would be fantastic. thanks.
Personally, my favorite app to play audio is TCPMP. It is lightweight, but highly customizable. It is the only app I know that allows you to control playback speed (something I like).
i ve a wired headset w/all the playing buttons (play-stop,pause,vol+-,etc) and it only works with windows media playe. At least without making some reg changes.
I use Nitrogen. It's one of my favorites.
I use HTC Audio Manager. It looks clean and it recognizes the playlists I created in Win Media Player.
the best has to be Pocket Music hands down, it has way more features and options than any of the above and i know coz i've used all of them, Pocket Music lets you customize it heaps and it includes radio FM and tons of equalizers, playlists and skins etc, it's awesome.
me too
I am also searching for a better audio player. The windows media player that come with my room is a big brick of SH*T. I hate it, while playing, the music stop when end, and looks like the phone is dead. Too slow.
Coreplayer is good, but dont have much options and crashes.
The one i am using now is Pocket music player, but it also have a lot of bugs and CRASHES too, at least have so many options, and its a lot flexible. and thats what i want, but there is a delay when changing music ( i dont know why, is this configurable?) that i really dont like.
any one knows something better than Pocked music?
how about S2P?
It's my favorite APP with WM6.5 HTC Touch Pro...
I like Nitrogen too. It has nice looking skins and I like using the sleep timer.

I like Conduits Pocket Player better. Check it out.
My vote goes to S2P - combined with S2U2 it is absolutely perfect
I'm missing some features though like playlists or viewing some additional info (bitrate etc.)
I like s2p for music and pocket player for podcasts, PP has a great bookmarking feature that alot of others don't have
I like windows media player mobile. Coz it supports my audio adapter hardware buttons. But I miss the sleep/close/pause timer on it.
PocketMusic in Hermes 2 months ago, now TouchFLO Music Tab
I had used PocketMusic on my Dopod 838 Pro (HTC Hermes)..
It has features I need :
Sleep Timer
Playlist
Control playing with Hardware buttons even when minimized (like in Nokia XpressMusic)
Bass Boost
Now, I'm using the built-in TouchFLO 3D 2.1 dedicated Music Tab on my HTC Touch Pro..
Now, I need a player with PocketMusic features that can replace the Music Tab (because I love the integration), also better if it has integration with S2U2
S2P hides the taskbar, right?
