Is there any way to get Itunes for wm6.1 or what's the best music player for the HTC Fuze? Thanks
Are you referring to a player on the phone or syncing music from the PC? If the later, Windows Media Player does a fine job of syncing music to WM devices.
you can us kinoma to play itunes, but unless you pay for teh program you will have limited access to all teh functions of the program.
i just flashed my kaiser with the hyperdraggon IV 6.5 lite and when i stream videos in .asx format in windows media player, i am getting a zoomed in picture of the center of the video. it is missing the edges all around it. i did not have this problem before i flashed so im thinkin it might be the windows media player in the rom.
is there a reason for this? if not is there any other player that can play a streaming file in the form of .flv, .asx., .ram/.rm, .sdp, or .pls ?
Please ask your question in the thread that is dedicated to the Rom you are having problems with.
Run programs for windows? For instance, what happens if i try to install an old adventure game for say win95? Can i just install f.ex. the regular VLC player or do i need a spesial winmo VLC player? Is this phone anything like a laptop, i guess is what i'm asking...
If not, how do you guys play your favorite oldschool pc games on it?
I ordered it last week, and still waiting..
It does not normally do that
Mate, people have done all sorts of weird stuff to get games from other Microsoft platforms playing on WM devices but in general people play games built for the Windows Mobile operating system.
VLC is some sort of media player with games built in right?
In general trying to play a PC game on your WM device will be as useful as your title is to someone searching this thread!
The answer is no. It's a totally different processor with a different instruction set and the OS is Windows CE, not '95 or XP. It's not like an 'old' Windows PC.
Hello fellow XDA members,
I may be asking a question that was asked before but could not really find a answer. I have a Zune and use the Zune software to transfer my music to the Zune easily.
So here is the question:
Is there any way to allow my Captivate or any Android phone to connect to the Zune software on the PC and transfer and delete music on the Android device????
Thanks in advance for your responses!!!
I'm not really sure if there are any workarounds to get your device working with the Zune software.
However, if you are only concerned with DRM music (like the stuff you would get using the Zune pass), then windows media player would do the trick for you. Just open it up and go to the sync tab at the far right.
I never thought much about the DRM side of it since most of my music are on CD's and I ripped the music.
I was looking more towards the functionality of the Zune Software with an Android device. I have been using the Zune software for a few years now and really like it. All my albums and covers have been nicely organized and would really hate to start all over again. With the hope the Microsoft is not as restricted as Apple and their iTunes software, using the Zune software would be awesome.
I still have my Zune 30 and worse case scenario I will continue using it. I was hoping to eliminate one device.
so basically something like doubletwist geared towards zune? that'd be interesting..
i've resigned myself to the fact that I'll never consolidate my devices.
digital camera for special events, captivate phone, gps unit for unknown territory, zune 120 for everyday use.
I agree to that to a point. When it comes to specialized hardware our phones in no way compete. But with memory coming down in price and increasing in size there should not be a reason why this couldn't happen. Microsoft has leveraged this ability in their new Windows phones. One day it may happen but I think that may be years away. In the meantime, the music player ability is already converging into our phones, however limited. Utilizing the Zune Software with Android would be awesome. If Windows Media Player can do it why not the Zune Software??
I remember back years ago when I had a Palm PDA and a phone. Then convergence devices started coming out. I said I would never change over to a convergence device because if I loose it I end up loosing both. Well PDA's are of the past and they have converged into our everyday phones.
Interesting how technology changes our minds and daily decisions....
Zune music uses a different type of DRM that's not supported by WMP. Zune DRM is only supported by Zune player and Windows Phone 7.
But I do agree that we should have something that can sync Zune with Android phones (DRM issue aside). Microsoft will not support this for obvious reasons. I've tried WMP sync but results are less than stable and it will convert all video into WMV because Captivate MTP app only reports support of WMV.
This is an easy issue to overcome (besides the DRM protected content). I had a Zune HD before I had my Captivate, so I have the Zune software syncing podcast (audio and video), managing music, etc. I have it place all the content in the same libaries managed by Windows Media Player (Windows 7) so it shows up there too. Then I just sync my Captivate using WMP. Works very well, but like I said, not for DRM content.

This is a great point.
PLEASE, PLEASE someone make this for Android!!!!
For the Sansa I had to go into the system settings on the main menu and go to USB Mode.
There are two choices...
MTP and MSC
MTP is what lets me download Zune Music........MSC does not
hope that will help...

I just got a Lumia 920 and I absolutely hate the music players they have on it. The Nokia app is only a little better than the stock Xbox music app. For one thing, you can't specify where to look for your music, so it adds any MP3 file on the phone to your music list, which makes doing shuffle a pain. And for some reason, it is impossible to get a playlist on the phone unless all the songs are in the same folder. Anyone know a decent music player, or at least a way to get a good playlist on the phone? I tried using Mediaplayer from the pc and no luck.
Thanks for any help!
yeah and i cannot see all songs now playing (album tracks), only one. I cannot see how many songs in album remains and cannot select another. It sucks
I have found really nice alternative music player. It is simple, but usefull: Album flow
here is link: http://www.windowsphone.com/pl-pl/s...26b-0d29-4e6a-849f-0fd6b8fc10dc?wa=wsignin1.0

Disagree totally. On my Nokia Lumia the player is pretty nice, does what it's supposed to. Has an equalizer with presets and manual, suggests Nokia MixRadio channels where locally played music can be found (great to find other good music) and shows background images of the playing band from the net. It's actually a very nice player.

Just if you compare it to a stone. if you compare it to a decent music player it sucks. but in regards of your other postings i sense you dont care about the rest anyways
I ended up dumping my 920 and going back to Android on a Samsung S3, and much happier now. Not just for the music player (though PowerAmp is awesome!), but for the horrendous lack of basic features. Too bad, I really wanted to like my Windows phone.
I also don't care for the music player apps available on the Lumia 920. I keep hoping for a Rockbox port - mostly because it supports all the codecs I have.
Great alternative for music player on wp

I play mostly local music stored on my phone. And for those uses musictastic is by far the best player I have found. Its free, reads playlists I create on my desktop from windows media player, looks great, shuffle fun too works as it should, and displays album art correctly. Definetly worth a try.
