How to flip Albums with sliding the finger?

Hi,

I am using a Touch Pro and trying to figure out the music tab.

When I swipe my finger top to bottom, it flips the song in an album view. What I would really like is for it to flip whole albums.

Any ideas how this can be done?

The albums with only fick if the song is related to the album.... The only way I see what you want happening, it to assign each song to a specific album cover. By doing this, it will let you flick through each song and show you the album art. I would think iTunes or WMP would let you do that.

Big Jew,

The songs are all organized in albums. Kind of like cover flow in ipod.

The main screen should scroll albums when using finger slide. What it is doing right now is flicking one song at a time, the album cover remains the same, but the song title changes under it. When it is done flipping all the songs, it them moves to the next album and so on.

Ideally, I would like for it to flip through to the next album once I slide my finger. Going through each song makes it very redundant and useless.

I was wondering the exact same thing. I don't want to flip through each song - I want to flip through my albums, then select the album and get a list of songs to select/play.

Does the Touch/iPhone work like this ?

On the whole the entire music tab seems like a good idea badly implemented. All other media players for Windows Mobile I have tried simply lack the visual beauty of the TF3D music player, but it itself lacks lots of things which make it feel amateurish. If HTC had released the source, this wouldn't be a problem anymore what with XDA-Developers being what it is, but sadly to my knowledge they didn't. Hopefully someone either clones it and releases the source or HTC improves it dramatically.

Andy,

I cant but imagine thinking this must be just a setting in the player somewhere. Gestures connected to songs instead of albums.

I would click the Library soft key then change it from All songs, or Artist, to ALBUMS!! that should werk! If you want it to change albums, you have to set it to albums..... WORKED FOR ME!

No, didn't work for me...I wonder if its related to how your music/folder structure is organized ?

I have a different problem with Sprint Music, music downloaded from the store is stored in Music in the main memory only, if you download to the storage card, TF3D doesn't recognize it. Makes the 16GB micro sd card ($73.000 on e-bay) useless for storing music. If you hard reset you lose your music, so I copied the music to the storage card in case of hard reset, this causes duplicate music on the TF3D Music tab. So I deleted the copies but now I have albums that have an explanation mark, how can remove these, short of a hard reset? When you click library, then songs playing, it shows the duplicates but no options to delete. Any help, Thanks
