The built-in Windows Media Player has always suffered from a major flaw: it didn’t support resuming the song from the last position after restarting the player. XDA-Devs forum member Wolfman-XP (the same guy that has also developed AVRCP support for GSPlayer) has fixed this: he has released a plug-in that remembers the last position where you press(ed) the Pause button. (Note that you MUST press Pause; as opposed to players natively supporting resume, this is a restriction – but not that a big one.)
Compatibility I’ve tested it on the following devices: - HTC Wizard with AMP’s WM6.1 ROM and custom WMP skin - HTC Universal with WM6.1 Tomal’s ROM version 7.7 - HTC Vox / s710 MS Smartphone with the factory WM6.0 ROM (this January) - HTC Oxygen / s310 MS Smartphone with the factory WM5 AKU3 ROM - Dell Axim x51v standalone (no-phone) PDA with WM6.1 - HP iPAQ 210 standalone (no-phone) PDA with factory WM6.0 Of these devices, it was only on the HP iPAQ 210 that it didn’t work at all; all the others did, even the WM5-based models and the non-phone x51v. Installing, using Just download the hack HERE, in the first post, install it and off you go. Remember pressing Pause at the position you want it to remember. After restarting WMP, it’ll take you to the Library (and not the Now playing) screen. To quickly return to the latter, on touchscreen-enabled PPC’s, click the Back arrow in the upper right corner; on MS Smartphones, just press the Back hardware button. (Alternatively, you can go to Now Playing / Play.) Restrictions In addition to not being compatible with the HP iPAQ 210 (and, possibly, some other devices), it isn’t able to correctly re-position in AAC files (I’ve tested both standard and HE-AACv2 files). WMA’s and MP3’s, on the other hand, work just great. Note that... I’ll publish a LOT of multimedia-related articles in the near future – stay tuned! |
