Got a nightmare when I discovered 64kbps WMA don't seem to be supported in WMP on HTC TYTN II. It used to be supported in my previous E-TEN M600. So, anybody have any alternatives to recommend?

My requirements:
1) Supports A2DP
2) Supports AVRCP
3) Supports chinese tags
4) Supports chinese filenames
5) Supports chinese playlists
6) Supports ASX playlists
7) Supports WMA @ 64kbps

The last I know, there isn't any 3rd party media player that can do all these, so I am wondering if there are any updates since I last experimented around.

Ahh...seems like the WMAs were corrupted, so it's not exactly a problem with WMP.

but is there any other players play wma? can't seem to find one. if there is any, please share ya. TIA

btw, vicott, when the TyTN II plays music via a2dp, is there any sharp noise or high pitch sound which is found in WM5 native a2dp?

cheers~~~

64 kpbs shld be no problem. I can play 320 kbps mp3s on mine.

To minimise the high pitch sounds on a2dp use the equaliser to tone the high treble down.

Anyway, my problem was solved so I don't think I need an alternative anymore. Besides, I seriously doubt there is any media player that can fufill all my requirements.

My search begins again...

Re-organising my requirements
1) Supports A2DP
2) Supports AVRCP
3) Supports ASX playlists
4) Supports unicode
5) Supports WMA and WMV
6) Supports UTF8 encoded ASX playlist (saving and also loading)
7) Does not consume memory as much as WMP

Based on the first 6 requirements, it seems that WMP is the only software theat meets the requirements so far. Not that I am picky, but I already have many songs/playlist files that are already in the specific format that is not supported by almost all media players I have tested so far. It would be insane to re-organise my whole music library.

List of software tested before and do not meet my requirements:
1) TCPMP
2) CorePlayer
3) PocketMusic
4) GSPlayer
5) Sompy Media Player
6) MortPlayer
7) mPlayer
8) WithMP3
9) WinamPAQ

CorePlayer (and also TCPMP):
- Does not support unicode. Definitely does not support UTF8 encoded ASX

PocketMusic:
- Supports saving/loading of unicode playlist in M3U format only if Regional Settings is set accordingly, e.g. Chinese.

Alot of other players:
- Either don't support ASX or horrible/negligible support for unicode.

Can someone prove me wrong?

Finally found the perfect alternative to WMP!

Conduits Pocket Player:
1) Supports WMA
2) Supports ASX
3) Supports Unicode
4) Supports UTF8-encoded ASX files
5) Supports A2DP
6) Supports AVRCP with Conduits WMP Plugin Adapter 2.2
7) Any 3rd party media player consumes less memory than WMP

Highly recommended media player!

but WMP also cn't uninstall on WM right?

Right. WMP consumes an insane amount of RAM while playing media, which is why some users shun away from it.

Meanwhile, I'm sill giving Pocket Player a spin and see if there are any issues.

What's good about Pocket Player is that several parts of its UI is touch sensitive like HTC TouchFLO.

nice!!!

I'm using Pocket Player too...the best player amongst the rest
out there - from my opinion.

Agreed, it is cool. I felt more entertainment and fun while using it as compare to other boring players.

really.. i shall download and try nw...hopes it is not too difficult...
