Enhancing the music experience with the Diamond (Ideas and Questions)

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.

Media Player

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.

Better mp3 player?

Can anyone reccomend a better mp3 player? The built in one sucks IMO

Mixzing player is the best Music Player (it is free)

Yeah, it's not too bad, and rockon isn't that bad either, weirdly you can download it for free here http://abrantix.org/rockon.php but have to pay on the market.
Have half a mind to write a better one, maybe some day.

I user Meridian, pretty much all in one for video and music. Does album art, supports hand gestures, shows lyrics, use the handset button to play/pause and other stuff. Tad bit on the slow side, but still good.

I was gonna make pos tlike this..question do all music apps run as a service?

my post from over at ******
Just one of my posts from nokia apps i thought i should bring to the table I'm not sure if this is the best place for it but i thought it might be helpful.
Mixzing Cyrket - MixZing Music Player - nice look and feel, pretty solid once you turn off recommendation, and prevent it from creating a new playlist everytime you play a new track. Ultimately i defaulted back to the standard as it has a background process.
Tunewiki Cyrket - Tunewiki - if you like the look and feel of the ipod touch this is for you. if you can stand/replace the icon. Lyrics can be turned off which is good, and it has full youtube integration like the standard. Again it has a background process that will not die!
Meridian Cyrket - Meridian Player - really don't get the appeal of this player but it does seems pretty popular. cool swipping motions!
Ambient Ambient Music Player - About - actually a pretty good mp3 player but you wont find it in market, i think this projects been abandoned which is a shame........
Rock On RockOn for Android - intends to deliver an itunes/songbird media flow method of browsing music. Still very beta but great promise.
droidPlayer lite http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.droidplayer.activity - Ok so the lite version is really limited, like 10 songs to a playlist limited, the controls don't feel great and i think it's pretty ugly not to mention it's fondness for force closeville. I've not tried the full version but if the lite is anything to go on, it wont be worth buying a key.
Instinctiv http://instinctiv.com/download_G1.html - Very very light application, the ipod shuffle of the group, nothing fancy. Force quits a lot on me but not everyone reports this problem!
Ongoing Music Adapter Cyrket - Ongoing Music Adapter Lite - not really a media player as such but a handy toy if you ever launch mp3s from your browser or a file manager and then want to actually go on with playing with the phone.
mp3tagger Cyrket - mp3tagger - not a media player at all but if you're as irritated by metatag errors as i am
As for Diggin I'm sure we'll all hear if it ever launches till then watch this space http://www.digginmobile.com/
Personally i don't really use the mp3 players much i tend to use streaming media application such as:
Last.fm Cyrket - Last.fm - Personal Radio If you don't use last.fm check it out it's brilliant, recommends music based on your listening patterns and it learns quickly, I think it's fantastic as it seems to know my mood after about 3-4 rejections!
Nutsie Cyrket - Nutsie Pretty solid app, basically your media library on the move
Music On Demand Cyrket - Dizzler - not bad system but it seems to buffer a lot which can be very frustrating
Imeem Cyrket - imeem - I'm not a fan, it's a solid enough app but you can only skip 6 songs in an hour so you may find yourself choosing another app if you have a few crap songs lined up!
Please feel encouraged to add any new finding!

I agree ... I like hat large album art feature of Mixzng .... but man this phone lacks a decent sexy looking mp3 player!

Re: droidPlayer
Hey there,
Try the new version 1.2.0 ! 3d animation and response is much faster,
no hang ups so far. In lite-version you can have now 20 songs in song-mode instead of 10,
which is enough for me.
Later dudes,

I love my phone but yeah the music player sucks donkey. I hate the fact that it shows ringtones too. The one thing I wish we had from the iphone is the media player. I like the way its set up simple, sleek and sexy. Someone should port that to Android.

The one thing that is missing from all of them is an on screen volume adjustment. I normally use mixzing and have my phone sitting on my desk at work. It would be easier to just tap the screen to adjust the volume rather then having to mess with the buttons on the side.
No, I am not so lazy that I can't pick up my phone. I had it on my Wizard and I really kind of miss it.

Best audio player for Kaiser?

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

Best media player? Any recommendations?

Windows media player seems to be really crappy to use and slow.. and nice smooth interface thats very popular for playing music?

I use pocket player. It does everything I need, sound quality is good and it has a great library.
Disadvantage: It's not freeware.

Nitrogen - free, cool .. but has some minor bugs .. occasional stutter and some mp3 can't be played. But hey, it's rather young project.
CorePlayer - not free, not as good controls, but usable, and has best audio quality (I mean NO stutters ever, if you check 'higher priority for audio').
And on Xperia you have media panel. It works. But I play songs by folders, not by albums or playlist, so no joy for me.

try s2p with s2u2 (just disable all the autolock stuff).. I love it just because it turns itself on when plugin headphones or connecting a stereo bluetooth device and it stop she music and closes when you remove them.. Sound quality is similar to wmp bc it uses its engine (though i gotta say its ok) To me, this is the most convenient music player (it does playlists too)
however, i've been pushed by a friend to try core player (i don;t if i got it right..) He told me that was the best player he tried so far.. then again, he has a raphael... so dunno...
for convenience, i like s2p (mainly if your lazy or dont want to hunt down for the player and kill it later )

core player as the x panel had a lot of issues playing acc files

Hi, Do you want an audio player or Vedio player?
If you need the first one, Pocket Player will be better.
Coreplayer is good for vedio, but only WMP could work with X.264 code.

If you need the Audio Player, Pocket Music Player will be better.
Pocket Music Player supports X-Bass and Preamp. X-Bass + Some Custom EQ + Preamp made very good sound.
I recommand you Pocket Music Player.
