Best MP3 Player?

Which player is the best hands down? I stopped using touchflow and need a good player now. Free is good.

That's a loaded question and there have been many threads on this. A lot of it just comes down to personal preference for features you might deem important that others won't. Search around and install and try as many as you'd like, especially if they're free or have a free trial period. Keep what you want. I would recommend Kinoma Player (they have a free version). I love it because it ties into Orb so well and also offers a lot in the way of streaming media. Some other popular players are Windows Media Player (which is also on your device) TCPMP, Core Player, Pocket Music, Pocket Player and S2P. I'm sure I left out a few but that's what's popping into my head. Search here or google for them.

If AVCRP controls from your bluetooth headset are important to you, then only Pocket Player currently has a complete fix for the problem. I tried S2P, but it didn't work 100% of the time. I ended up getting frustrated with it, and took it off my phone.

The Touch Pro has WMP and the built in media player direct wired to bluetooth controls. So the other music players (I used to use mortplayer) can't use them. Trying to would only open WMP.

But if you use Coreplayer 3.71 and use the steps listed in their forums to install a plugin for the Touch Pro - you'll have full AVCRP access. I've been testing it out for the last 4 days, and it works great.

With WMP, is there an easier way to play MP3s other than clicking on file explorer to play each song? When I click library, then all music, nothing is there. So when I'm playing mp3s, I have to go through file explorer for EACH song.

hte only thing i can think your doing wrong is not updating your library when you open wmp hit menu and when you see your library menu with the music videos etc. ect. hit menu again and from there hit update library and you should be good to go

thats my 2 cents hope it helps

You have to click Menu->Library->Storage Card, or something along those lines.

I really don't agree with the Kinoma suggestions.

I have the paid version of KinomaPlay & it's great for youtube etc, but I think s2p is a much better music player.......

Why don't you like Kinoma as a music player?
