To avoid repeating myself I have updated on how to rock using a2dp to listen to stereo music with Bluetooth Stereo Headsets below.

Step 1:
Install "a2dptoggle" Today Plugin
Download from here
http://www.freewareppc.com/download/utilit...2dptoggle.shtml

Step 2:
Instead of using a2dptoggle as a Today Plugin, it is better to launch it using M5NewMenu software from Today screen. See screenshots. WM5New Menu can be downloaded from here
http://www.saman-cz.com/ppc/index.html
Goto Settings --> New Menu for WM5, in your WMPhone. Tap on the "Items" bottom tab.
Step 2.1:
Tap on "New". Key in "a2dp ON" in the "Item label" box.
In "Parameter" field for just key in this:
a2dp.exe -bluetooth:1 -a2dp:1
(f you want both a2dp and Bluetooth to switch ON)
In the "File" menu tap on the browse [...] box. Look for the a2dp.exe file located at \Program Files\Teksoft\A2DPToggle\A2DP.exe. Tap "OK"
Step 2.2
Tap on "New". Key in "a2dp OFF" in the "Item label" box.
In "Parameter" field for just key in this:
a2dp.exe -bluetooth:0 -a2dp:0
(f you want it both a2dp and Bluetooth to switch OFF)
In the "File" menu tap on the browse [...] box. Look for the a2dp.exe file located at \Program Files\Teksoft\A2DPToggle\A2DP.exe. Tap "OK"

Just one tap you can OFF or ON both BT and a2dp. whistle.gif

Step 3:
For freeware that supports avrcp and album art, use MortPlayer 3.3 RC
from here
Of course WMP also can support avrcp.

Step 4:
Encode mp3/wma music properly using at least 128 kbps bit rate, of course higher the better but files are bigger. Vicott has done testings which showed that some bad music playback is caused by poor encoding. Use original CDs if possible instead of pasar malam ones.
See http://mobile-sg.com/simpleblog/archives/post.asp?id=1044
Remember garbage in -->garbage out.

Step 5:
Use a good quality earphones. Earphones are very important also. Lousy earphone=lousy music. For solid base and music, use inner-ear type (but may damage hearing). If using normal earphones, it is better to put on the sponge covers for better base and music.

Btw you can also set WM5NewMenu to just switch OFF a2dp without switching off the Bluetooth. Label it as "a2dp OFF BT ON" etc.

In "Parameter" field for just key in this:
a2dp.exe -bluetooth:1 -a2dp:0

Hi Symphony,

I've tried to install ad2ptoggle but can't get it to work.

Can i check with you if I can get it to without using WM5menu?

Can I get it work in my default HTC Today? Can't select the ad2ptoggle in my Today settings.

Thanks
Symphony
