FM transmitter and better audio player on TF3D?

Just wondering, since I've the Diamond has a FM receiver, does that mean that it can also act as a FM transmitter (say for road trips?).

Also, is there a better audio player for the diamond that will work with the TF3D music tab? I like the integrated approach, but I find that the program skips a bit, doesnt support alot of formats (can't seem to get .ogg to work), and I cant push the power button to turn off the screen and get it to keep playing.

First, if you have a Diamond you should update your profile so that we know.

The CDMA version of the Diamond (Sprint and Telus) do not have the FM receiver. Or if they do, we were not provided the software or the headphones, which are the actual antenna. So it would be hard to determine the real answer to your question, other than a logical question. Does your FM radio in your house or car transmit FM signals, or receive them? I am betting that it they just receive, which I would bet is the same for the Diamond.

As for music players, I have used MortPlayer for quite a few months now (on a Mogul, Touch and now my Diamond) and very much prefer it to all of the others out there. It is free, skinnable, has an alarm clock and other cool features. And it looks great on the VGA display. Check it out here.

You're welcome. Also, check out the MortVista skin, which is already installed with the app. I really like the layout and colors.

The drivers are there for FM but I haven't had the chance to really work on gettin the HTC FM radio working on it
