Re: HTC HD2 music apps?

Eh...I used my HD2 to download it and open it. It installed fine. Thanks. It appears to play FLAC. If so, it will be what I was looking for.

EDIT 2 -
Sadly, no, Kinoma FreePlay doesn't do FLAC. I have a MicroSDHC card full of FLAC files that I use in all of my card supporting DAP that support FLAC, which I inserted into the HD2. After a lengthy scan of files, Kinoma puts a red stiped circle beside all of the FLAC music file and clicking on one brings up the message: "Unsupported MIME".

Ah well...guess I'll keep looking.

I've found that the HTC music player (green music tab) is the best and here are some tips for making it work well....

*Only use MP3's

*Do not ever use double twist to sync...simply make a "Music" folder on your storage card and drag and drop the media files into the foler...HTC music player will autmatically pick up the songs and populate them into the player

*When you first boot your device (unfortunetally you probably should do this every single time you turn on your device)....simply scroll over to the music tab and let it load a song. I have about 1500 songs on my SD card, and I've noticed that it doesn't load the music into HTC music player upon boot up, you have to scroll over to the tab and let it load an album cover, THEN it populates the songs into the player. For my 1500 songs this takes about 4 minutes on my HD2...otherwise I can only view my music in the "every song" option and I cannot browse by artist or album title. I've found that simply scrolling over to the tab once and letting it load will start the music loading process and the player will be much smoother when you start using it.

*After doing all these steps the ONLY lag I notice is going back from landscape to portrait takes about 5 seconds sometimes. I have album art for every single song (again about 1500) so I expect some lag, but as long as you follow these tips you should have a good experience with HTC music player.

note: I'm using energys 6.5.5 rom.
