Because I could not get TCPMP to play my wma files, all of which I got from Napster, I decided to do a hard reset, just in case my TCPMP was messed up somehow. It didn't make any difference. TCPMP still would not play those Napster wma files. Then I download a couple of free wma music files and tried them. IT WORKED! They played just fine in TCPMP. So, now I'm wondering why won't TCPMP play the files from Napster?? Are those files protected somehow, so that only WMP can play them?

So then I tried using VC to play the two (free) wma files in TCPMP, and VC will play them, but I couldn't get "stop" or "next track" to work. On the other hand, mn3kgtvr4 says these commands work for him.

As for skipping with BT stereo, there was initially a very small amount of skipping during my testing, like a second or two during the first 10 seconds of playback. I then increased the buffer settings in TCPMP and haven't had any skipping during more than a dozen trials. Nothing that good ever happened with WMP. By the way, my quality setting for the A2DP key is 48.

In summary, I wish I could confirm the complete control of the media by VC that mn3kgtvr4 observes. But I can't. The "play" command works, that's all. I'd be very interested in what others find. As for making, TCPMP the default player, I'm not even sure what that means. Do you mean you'd pre-set the file associations to favor TCPMP over WMP. That's easy enough to do manually. Are you thinking of leaving WMP out of the rom altogether? Anyway, I'm happy with whatever you decide.

As I explained above, I guess the problem of wma files not playing in TCPMP is somehow connected with where the files come from. Maybe it's a licensing problem? These Napster files that won't play in TCPMP will play just fine in WMP, by the way. It does not seem to be a problem with the TCPMP in your rom, however.

Hope some of this helps! .... Get well!!!!

from napster? isn't this where you buy stuff to listen? if so, that would be DRM protected nO?

Can you play the files with winamp on the comp or some other player other than windows media player? When you go the the ppc, the player that should play it is windows media player, seeing as it can read the protections, tcpmp is not that well suited for DRM protected files.
