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

Hi,
I tried using Windows Media player to play songs but they do not support copy right m4a files and other misc audio formats. Thus i used TCPMP player which is good to solve the problem but it does not have a SEARCH function.. any advice and other takes on other audio players?
Audio Manager is good. Works when display is off.
S2P or Slide 2 Play is the best one.
Audio manager is good but you can't specify a single folder to use, it will automatically scan for all mp3 and sometimes other audio files on the mem card. I it wasn't for that I would say Audio Manager.
I tested S2P but it does not have the SEARCH function, it doesn't even support playlist function... but its interface is very nice... any more better audio players out there?
I use Mortplayer and I also tried GSPlayer earlier on (both shouldn't be hard to find).
DUDE, this is a phone not an mp3 or a qps device. You don't need to play audio..
tcPiMP gets my vote.
Mort Player
Mort player is my favorite!
It has it all - great for Audio books too!
Get it here:
Stable version
Beta version
Vista Skin
or see below...
Enjoy!

so any recommendation to play videos??
That's good
pop music is best one

are you kidding me? why do people like you always chime in like this w/ irrelevant replies
"i dont use my phone for this, so i think its dumb that anyone else uses its for (blank) purpose"
if you forgot, there are phones like the iphone, sony ericson music phones, nokia n series, etc that are great multipurpose phones...which is EXACTLY what the kaiser is. if you're gonna stick w/ that ideology why don't you stick to a nokia 3395.
PocketMusic Rocks
For me this is a serious bit of kit. It's my phone, GPS, personal organizer and now an MP3 player in the car. That was made possible with PocketMusic - http://www.pocketmind.com/pmfp.htm
Get the full version otherwise the real benefits are not seen.
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.
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!
I now have the phone for a couple of months now. I am now starting to listen to music on my phone but the problem I have, I can't get the music to play the next song which is in line. I play one song than it repeats over and over. Oh yeah I use the window media player and I'm trying put all the songs on a play list but I don't know how to get them there. Can somebody help me?
Can somebody just guide me as if I am a noob and don't know what I'm doing? Well actually I am a noob but please can somebody help me! Thank you
I would recommend getting a proper music player like "Pocket Player" or "Pocket Music". You can get free players as well. "Mortplayer" and "S2P" are great.
About WMP. Did you check:
wmp ---> menu ---> shuffe/repeat
Maybe you have clicked on repeat by accident?
where can I get the pocket player or pocket music from?
I tried the repeat and shuffle thing but even if I click the button that is suppose to play the next song doesn't play. I can click the previous button but it replays the song.

Nitrogen is a good music player too.
The link you have provide. I downloaded it and transfered it to my phone and now its saying I can't in stall it. It says 'PocketPlayerSetup' is not a valid Pocket PC application.
You've probably downloaded the windows executable. If you want to use that then ensure you have your phone connected and Active Sync is started and execute the program from your windows PC. Otherwise look for the .cab file from the server and install that from the phone.
Interesting .. I've just yesterday looked for a decent player .. and I have found this:
Nitrogen player: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-nitrogen-player.html
It's rather simple, but it has all I need, like album art, and it can play folders (I hate making playlists), and it has nice finger controls. It can also play with screen off and HW buttons still active.

Great find guys! Thumbs up.
that nitrogen player looks good im going to check it out
Cool. The nitrogen player is working great. Thanks
GS Player .
I had forgotten about it. Very useful despite its win 95/98 looks .
It has equalizer, effects, etc. and more options and tweaks than you can imagine.

It'a really a gr8 player.Nice sound and volume higher than the default players - I have installed 6.1 v16 x1 rom by touch it.
Actually I have some problems with it. I mean one problem. Sometimes it clicks. It's like once per 5 minutes, but the playback is just not perfect. I had the same problem with CorePlayer, but there using higher thread priority solved it.
Nitrogen does not have such option, but the problem seems to be the same. If I change the priority for all 4 nitrogen threads in the task manager, it works fine.
Guess I will write to the author to provide that option.
If I'm not usung MediaPanel,
I admire LCGJukebox - simple look, skinnable,
all needed functions (Also EQ however I never use it...)
Absolutely gr8. And plays folders.
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?
