External LCD - Windows Media Track Names?


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if it's possible to get the MPx200's external LCD to display track names (or other info) from Windows Media? This'd save me having to open up the phone every so often to find out what I'm listening to on the way to work (and hence save my battery a bit!).

Do any of the other music players (Pocket Music etc) do this?

None that I know of, it might be possible but the phone is bery new so adding this functionality may take a while, that is if anyone decides to do it.

Would like this too! As well as a way of get the lcd backlight to stay on longer.

Plugins for the LCD screen while listening to MP3's would be good, being able to alter the functionality of the Jog Dial would be even better. My olf Sony J70 used the Jog Dial for everything and it was very flexible.

I find myself reaching for it on the MPx :)

so in effect what you are saying is that you would prefer to have a standard form factor phone instead of a flip?!

I agree having track names on the lcd would be brilliant, but I'd rather the jog dial stayed as volume ( or if we could pick what it does when the phone is closed?)

Years ago i had a technics CD player with one of the first headphone remotes - a single button, one click would pause, a second click would unpause, and two rapid clicks would go to the next track.

I'm asuming the silver button on the headset is intended for activating voice dialing, or answering calls, but I never use that, so if a very clever person somewhere could create an option for it to control media player...

... they'd be a very clever person!

...*thinks* you can obviously feed the lcd with the contact name...why not a track name, as for re-assigning the key you can do it with programs why not with functions?

They would also have my eternal gratitude- as I listen to MP3/WMAs on my phone while on my bike, i find it very irritiating when a call/alarm/reminder goes off and not only can I not stop the noise (or take out the headphones, as I've got a helmet on), but when it finally finishes I can't start the music again.

If only the hands-free kit actually left your hands free...

Not much useful comment on this is there. Lot's of people wishing for a solusion of some sort but where are these solutions to come from?
