Is there any player that will stream .asx files?

That is what I want to stream, but my phone says error look at details, so I look at the details and the phone says error look at details lol.

I was hoping that the default player would play them (windows media). Do I have to be connect via wifi or something to play it?

Also, I use an 8 GB card so by having Audio Manager have everything pre-loaded is a must...I might try out Coreplayer but I would need to see shots first. I appreciate everyone's help in this...it's just driving me crazy. If the Sprint player would keep a cache of everything or something it'd be great, but it freezes up constantly plus it doesn't have a stand alone player which sucks. Mort would be fine if the file selection wasn't so awful. Ideas?

You do know that you can create playlists, right? Even with the freeware version, TCPMP, you can set-up the order of songs, and then save it as... to save it as a playlist (.pls) file. Then, you can label it On The Road... or what ever suits your fancy,

Yea I know...and it is sensible but honestly I like being able to play groups of songs on the fly by either author, album, or all songs without having to pre-establish anything. The Mort player file selection is not even remotely user friendly, especially while driving. I haven't looked into TCPMP yet so I can't speak for that.

I think S2P has that "play by author," but I am not positive, as I don't use it regularly.

So I gave Coreplayer a try...it's playback is excellent...I would kill for a manual, however. It's pretty confusing to say the least...but I'm hoping I can figure it out. I'm downloading Pocket Tunes now to check that one out.

pocket player is the bomb!

Pocket Player is also like $38. Yikes.

Kind of an update. Pocket Player comes up weird as hell on here, so I'm not messing with it currently. Coreplayer seems awesome...but one problem I'm having is that when I go into all of my music by "All artists," I can't scroll past the first like 7 songs. I can, but the screen doesn't move down and I have no clue what I'm seeing. I think if I could fix this I'd be good. Any ideas?

That's a streaming audio file... opened on my desktop in Windows Media Player. Yes, you need to have a data connection going in order to play it. It should play in WMP on your device.

I tried it many times with no love. Have a saved asx file on my TP and still won't open it... just errors out.

Acquired Coreplayer 1.2.5 and works perfectly!!! Couldn't be happier!

So it resumes where you left it off regardless if you have volume up or down, nice feature to just launch it let it go and start driving no need to fiddle with it unless you want to.

this is a nice player althought for some reason my music sounds very slow.. like if the artist were sleepy and it does that with all my music any ideas how to fix this?
