I noticed that there are quite a number of repeated questions asking for software recommendations in this forum section, so here's a thread to compile the recommendations. If you have a nice software (media player, media conversion software, or anything related to music/video/ringtones) to recommend that is not in one of the lists below, or some related guides, please feel free to contribute to the thread (provide software name, short description and link) and I'll update the first few posts accordingly. grin.gif

It is advisable to encode your videos to format that is more suitable for small screen. This will encure the video looks nice, smooth and the filesize is also substantially smaller. You will also need video encoders if you wish to rip videos from VCD/DVDs.

You can also choose to rip your music or re-encode to a lower bit rate so that you can enjoy music on your Pocket PC and also to reduce the filesize.

Here is a list of some useful desktop applications for encoding audio/video.

This is a great posting. Thanks
But I have one question: When I play Windows Media Player 10 in my PPC, is there a way to lock the buttons? because in the middle of listening a song, the call button was pressed and it was dialling out.

If this can't be done, I guess I need to download another player.
Thx
bankir
Never mind, I found the answer that is to assign the toggle screen to a hardware key in the option / Button assignment menu.

But another problem I have with WMP, that it's only playing for the first 5 seconds then it goes to the next one. I can't seem to find an option to disable this? anyone knows?

eh guys have you all noticed something very annoying abt the touch player in WM6.1.

all the songs are grouped into albums. so even if you access the artist you still have to go into a specific album to listen to the song. darn jia lat alot of my artists got unknown albums so all the different artists songs grouped into that album "unknown".


anyone got any fixes?
