Guest SpeedFreak Posted October 16, 2003 Report Posted October 16, 2003 Hey, i am going to use my new SPV to replace my portable MP3 player. I have an adapter to use decent headphones and an SD card with all my music in 1 directory. Basically im after some software that will act as a kind of 'winamp' for my SPV. It needs to either have playlist support or be able to use a directory as a playlist (eg i can just scroll through songs in 1 dir as if it were a playlist). Also, preferably free software but i dont mind paying a bit if its worth it. Cheers
Guest ranzz Posted October 16, 2003 Report Posted October 16, 2003 This might sound a bit crazy. but... the built in Windows Media Player?
Guest SpeedFreak Posted October 16, 2003 Report Posted October 16, 2003 i havent really explored the built in player, i am perfectly happy to use it provided it can do what i want....
Guest spacecowboy6982 Posted October 16, 2003 Report Posted October 16, 2003 Windows media player on 2002 doesnt have an inbuil playlist/editor. I think its smartmp3 (freeware) that can be used. SpaceCowboy
Guest SpeedFreak Posted October 17, 2003 Report Posted October 17, 2003 any other software to look at? PocketMusic??
Guest spacecowboy6982 Posted October 17, 2003 Report Posted October 17, 2003 Mono's website has a few playlist creators. Some in the .asx form - whichever you prefer really... SpaceCowboy
Guest goinnuts Posted October 17, 2003 Report Posted October 17, 2003 i personnally use pocket music without any probs with ogg files, but may users have problems with it. you need need lots of free memory and no other apps running in the background suits me though.
Guest SpeedFreak Posted October 17, 2003 Report Posted October 17, 2003 looks like a great app, is it worth the 20 bucks though? EDIT: been using it for a bit now, although the functionality is great, the songs become stuttery as can be so i think for the moment i'll stick to WMP.... Cheers
Guest Myke Posted October 17, 2003 Report Posted October 17, 2003 WMP on 2003 better be A LOT better than this crappy version
Guest fraser Posted December 28, 2003 Report Posted December 28, 2003 Hey, I use WMP on 2002 all the time. Better than anything else I've tried, in that it works, doesn't stutter and automatically stops on incoming calls. Make up playlists for it using some of the many tools. And, it plays windows media files, which at 96kbits are comparable to an 128kbit mp3, more space for music. Downsides are that pauses forget song position after being paused for a while, and the lack of fast forward/rewind. The later can be worked around with playlists, e.g. if I put an hour long mix/live album on the phone, I'll make a playlist with tracks every 5 mins. The playlist thing is a pain in the ass, however Pocket Music isn't really any better IMHO. If you do music a lot, get a card reader. Much faster to copy that way than using ActiveSync.
Guest Simon Olesen Posted December 29, 2003 Report Posted December 29, 2003 how about pocketMVP ? Posted from my SmartPhone!

I have to pull the adapter half way out to get full stereo; otherwise I just get Right; I don't get both Left and Right! k3yz
Guest PsychoDave Posted December 30, 2003 Report Posted December 30, 2003 Try Maplin. Not the most elegant of solutions but it's only 80p and others on the board have said it works ok. :) Welcome to the board btw

Guest ultimasnake Posted January 5, 2004 Report Posted January 5, 2004 i don't understand why, but i have metalic noises (each few seconds) when earing mp3 on my spv e200 .... under WMP and it make also under Pocket Music .... Do you have any idea ? what is the mp3's bitrate? lower then 96kbit can make it sound like it comes out of a tin can :S i have An e200 too.. and Use Wmp with 196kbit files(and 128kbit) and they work Great... nothing wrong with the sound...
Guest mikeones Posted January 6, 2004 Report Posted January 6, 2004 the bitrate is ... 192 kbps ... Mike
