My bt headphone remote works with MS Media Player and HTC Audio Manager even when they are minimised and still playing.

Sascha
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Schiff32:
Ok, the player seems to be slow when trying to switch songs or it will randomly not respond to any screen presses for twenty seconds or so. I have an HTC Touch. Also, I'm a moron so if someone could clarify for me how songs are supposed to be set up on the memory card. Should there be individual folders for Music, Artist, Album, then having the appropriate songs in each album folder? TIA.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] foobar1977:
Oh come on! You managed to read enough of the first page to locate the software and get it installed but didn't read the second post. All of the information you need is there.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Schiff32:
Where are we going??? Thank you for your sincerity, I will for sure be looking towards your future posts for more helpful information. Maybe dictionary.com will help you with the word clarify. Sorry, I didn't mean to confuse you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] foobar1977:
Err, how is... Since S2P simply scans music files in your storage card, it's suggested to have your music files well organized by folders. So that you can browse your music files through the folders instead of a plain list. (e.g. \Artist Name\Album Name\Music title.mp3) not clear to you?? Surely the e.g. part gives it away? Even my cat could work that out :-P

I'm not confused by any stretch of the imagination and I'm not one for bashing people for not searching (as happens quite often on here), but when you simply read enough to find the link to the cab but can't be bothered to read the instructions the author has given you, you're taking the p!$$ a bit.

If you had a genuine question that did not have a fully documented answer in the authors release notes/instructions/FAQ then I would be more than willing to offer helpful information if I had it.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] babaq:
I would appreciate OGG support too. Conversion is not an option, because of quality degradation... I don't understand why all developers implement licensed, worse and bigger format (MP3) instead of free, better and smaller one (Ogg Vorbis)... not talking about WMA which comes from the Evil Empire :)

More or less, I can live with MP3 support only, as I have only a few albums in Ogg Vorbis - they are my bought CDs and I can grab them again.

Hello hello, I wanted to inquire about the possibility of hooking S2P into the HTC Home screen, and replacing Audio Manager. I'd definitely be ready to switch software if this was a possibility. :)

A_C get work on everything but can u add 1 more thing search thro music by artist
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] foobar1977:
Well it's nothing to do this dimensions or image size. I did some testing with various image dimensions, file sizes and formats. I just can't get certain albums to show their embedded covers.

I cleared down all of the tags for said albums and re-tagged using this http://www.mp3tag.de/en/. Oddly when I cleared the tags, I didn't even get the default album cover that you get when no cover exists?

My music is well organized in the correct folder structure as noted in the instructions. There is nothing odd in any of the file names or any of the tags.

I'm at a bit of a loss now, this app would be killer for me if I could get all of the album art to display... it looks really odd with lots of blank spaces :(

Anyone else seen this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Trekvogel:
Same here. iTunes embedded art mostly doesn't work. I too thought it was size but turned out not to be. I don't want to re-embed my whole library.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] foobar1977:
Does itunes actually embed the art? I thought not. I think it uses its own database but could be wrong, it's been a while since I used it
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] namwollem:
MP3 Art Tagging

I don't know if this will be of any help to anyone, but in order to see the album (or single) cover art for my MP3s when using S2P, I just embed the .JPEG album art file into the MP3 tags themselves, that way whenever S2P plays the file, it automatically displays the correct artwork. A bit of a pain to re-tag all the MP3s I know, but if you're tagging entire albums, it doesn't really take that long when you're doing a few albums at a time.

Also, AC, great work, keep up the development, great software, both on S2P, S2V, and S2U2!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Prockkaii:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but is the function suffle work correctly?

I had just activate the right button, but the player replay musics which are already played.

Is that normal?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
Shuffle doesn't mean it won't repeat. The repeat icon (the left one) means it'll repeat the album/folder of the current song. The Shuffle icon means it'll not run those songs in the default (track number) order.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Prockkaii:
Ok, it's because, with other players, like your mp3 player for example.

If you have got 30 musics, and you have listened a.mp3 it won't play this song again until you have listen the 29 others..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] littld:
Shuffle doesn't work as well as in WMP for example. It shouldn't repeat as often as it does. Normaly an MP3 player will keep track of which songs you've listened to when on shuffle. That means that if you press the back button it will go to the last track you listened to, even when on shuffle. I'm sure these things will be ironed out if development continues. They are minor niggles though - it's a very good player that uses less memory than WMP.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
In some ways, I prefer the completely random shuffle, although there are situations in which "back" going to the previous song would be good. Maybe a registry option?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lazyboy0172:
wow...

i did not know that. I figured it meant repeat all, like many mp3 players do.

Thanks! I hadn't been using this as much because I was under the impression I had to listen to albums at a time.

but now that that is figured out, I do have one stifle. The album art is strange... I like full screen album art, but I don't like how far 'up' it goes. usually the words of the album are at the top, and almost always those are cut off by the top bar that displays over the album. Would it look better if the album art was shifted down slightly, or the top or bottom bar made a bit smaller to accommodate? I was looking at pictures of the iPhone, and it's top bar is completely black and the album art is displayed between the two bars, with the bottom reflecting it as does in S2P, but we simply don't have as much screen space as iPhone users to do that. I'm not sure what would look best here, but I certainly don't find myself a fan of the current situation of blocking out words.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
You can change the album art so that it only displays in the space between the two bars.

Set it to 0 for non full screen album art.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] foobar1977:
Yep, thats exactly what I have done but to no avail. When I look at the tags in the tagger application, every mp3 file has an embedded cover, they just don't all show in s2p :(

What tagger are you using?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
Have you tried the technique of just putting a "folder.jpg" in each album folder?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] foobar1977:
Yes, and that works fine but I would have to do that for my entire music collection and I don't really want to do that if s2p can support embedded art.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
Could you send me one of your mp3 file that S2P cannot show the album art? Pls u/l to any free hosting site & PM me the link, & don't do it publicly.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Synned:
Quick question

Is it possible to get rid of the "\" before each folder name?

Awesome awesome program. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dc_striker:
who argees that you should be able to search by artists

i love the program but its a b!tch going throu my hole songs
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
If you organise your music as \Artist\Album\song.mp3 you don't need that.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] geovass:
Great Work!

Is there a way to specify the folder the i am keeping my music (ie. My Music)??, as its reading all of my Destinator WAV files as well.. :-)

EDIT: I found it!!!

I am now having problems to browse using the Album View screen action. can someone help? I am in the album view,mode... OK? how can i slide the albums and have this iphone change slider?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lazyboy0172:
i don't think he means that, I think he means the list view in S2P, and I agree, it needs a lot of work done on it (probably the only thing that needs a vast tune-up though).

this is my list view in S2P, unless I know the album and artist of each song by memory, I'm lost. There are no labels, no quick searches and no way to sort by alphabet, artist, or any of that.

as you can see, I do have my library sorted in /storage card/music/artist/album/mp3
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
Ah! I think that the music is all sorted by folder/subfolder names (hence the ordering by track number and album in the first picture), but I agree that being told the artist would be good.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zigg:
I'm not sure if this issue has been posted (65 pages is a lot to read through) but if so, please direct me to the post to fix it.

S2P v.38 will not go to landscape mode. Is there some special setting to do this? My phone is in landscape yet when I open S2P it is still in portrait.

While my device is in landscape and I open S2P (which opens in portrait) the button config is totally whacked. Hitting the play button does nothing while hitting the top middle of the screen performs the play/pause function.

Edit:

Looks like the same problem with v.32 evn with the fix file.

Using:

Sprint Touch - WM6

Standard Rom

S2U2 v 1.0
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] justincredible:
it doesnt play in landscape...just potrait
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fjmora992000:
Album Cover

After much needed time, I was able to sort thru my music and get the album art listed for the songs. Granted it takes a while but it must be done regardless of S2P or not if you want the art to show up. I've figured out that the songs on the pc must have the art, along with all the songs on it for it to work. I tried different ways, but for me to search for every album art would take years and paste them on, so......i pretty much decided to find the most attractive "album art" and place all the songs from the artist into that "1" album to alleaviate the need of search and rescue.

This is a great program, and I applaud the developer on this neat creation. I for one am happy with the result and can't complain much as it does what it's suppose to do. At least this way it makes me organize my much needed neglect music file. For what it's worth, just take your time organizing your music into albums and enjoy. Definite contribution come payday on Friday.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dc_striker:
and it will use less ram because it wont have to load all songs names just artist
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
But you can browse the "Artist" folder - tap the back button; tap the "Arrow" button next to the music folder...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zhw410:
Can S2P support other language(such as chinese) same as S2U2's Language_pack?

First,Thanks A_C's good work! All of the S2X program is useful and beautiful!

When I used S2P,There is no "lang.ini" in floder "S2P",How can I make the UI in Chinese?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lazyboy0172:
ohh that's neat. I never noticed that pressing the arrow to the right of the folder was any different than pressing the name of the folder, I just thought pressing storage card consolidated all of my library such as HTC Audio Manager or WMP does.

nifty, thanks for sharing! does make it a bit easier to tackle all those albums of mine.

Oh yes, and while I have your attention (I DO have your attention, right?) is there a memory leak of some sort in this program? or a log file? I'm not entirely sure what happened, but I set this to play music and I ended up falling asleep, a short nap I guess. When I woke up my phone had a flashing orange light, so i had a missed call or text message, the music was no longer playing despite being on repeat and the phone was locked up, i had to reset it and I lost the phone or text notification and the battery was near-dead despite being plugged into the wall, so it locked up pretty bad. I'm not sure what caused it, but it was the first time that I had listened to music for over an hour on S2P.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] galenmd:
Just discovered this great program today. I had to spend a few hours re-organizing all my music files and getting their album art tagged, but this had to be done sometime.

I would love a some sort of Playlist feature. Perhaps "play by rating" or any other type of favorites feature. This is a really important feature. My wife and I like to have a list for relaxation at night, and another upbeat list for working out, etc.

Also, a browse by album cover would be cool (ala iPhone).

A_C, this thread is too long, so forgive me if I am repeating others. I am sure you have a lot more planned.

Watch for a donation!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] itcrackerjack:
Did you see the screenshots in the first post :eek:? There is an album view. It's one of the coolest features of this program IMO.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] speedygraphixink:
album view

I love this app!!!!!!!!!! its exactly what i was looking for. just a question is there a way to slow the animation when scrolling through the album covers?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ghostofapril:
when you scroll your finger through the covers you have fast animation if you just tap the next or previous album cover , the covers with move in a slower motion.

cheers
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] galenmd:
Ooops! In my excitement, I forgot to look back at the first post. What a baffoon!

OK. I see that it is there, but when I slide up or down, the album changes to landscape mode, but I don't see any other albums, even albums from the same artist.

All my music is organized by Music/Artist/Album/

Please help.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
If you select "storage card" rather than going into Album\Artist.... then you will get all of the music loaded with it's cover art.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] booterr:
Some small wishes ...

First of all, thanks for this amazing piece of work.

Both, WMP and Audio Manager had problems playing in my Touch, music stopping and starting, sw freezing, etc ... a pain in the ass !

S2P was the only one which played flawlessly ! Congratulations and my gratitude.

Now, some very small wishes ....

1. Make the mirror effect on bottom selectable (enable/disable). I prefer without this effect to have a more clean UI.

2. An option to show the album art in its original size. All my album arts are 175x175 px

3. MAYBE the artist/song/album names could be little bigger

All these option could be in registry
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] galenmd:
Thank you. That did the trick. This is sooooo cool.

Now that I have so many albums, it can take a long time to scroll to the one I want. Any hope for a search feature?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] geovass:
Do they slide , like in iphone ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] galenmd:
Yes, but in the album view, it moves pretty slow. I think I have about 100 albums. Going from A to Z takes many swipes.

Suggestion:

It would be nice to implement the Touch Cruise wheel rotation to select the song from the album:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mmick:
I installed this app yesterday and it´s fantastic!

Of course it could be improved a little more so I leave here my contribute:

- MP3 cover art should *not* be under the semi-transparent bars but resized only to fit the black square (or else the top bar with MP3 tag/name gets very very confusing with the cover art image)

- MP3 covers are integrated usually on the MP3 file *but* here it´displayed as the folder/album. As I have several distinct MP3 on a folder (ex: several albuns/singers on a HOUSE music folder), when I press the cover art it displays the content of the folder (which has lots of MP3 from several people) and not only that MP3 album/singer/music. The program could build a database (like Nokia phones do) where it stores album/singer and when you press a cover art it displays only those MP3 found for that singer/album

- I think those semi-transparent bars and "real-time" MP3 search/database takes lots of CPU cycles! My TYTN @ 400MHz crawls completly...

- FF, Play, etc buttons should be bigger, most men fingers "confuse" the program :P

- Perhaps some features/visual options could be changed by a internal configuration like:

cover art size (original, black square, full screen)

cover art when selected goes to (mp3 list by folder, mp3 list by singer, mp3 list by album)

button´s size

transparency ON/OFF

cover art slide speed/frames

database (real-time, file)

more memory (fast) or less memory (slower)

This program really kicks a*s and I truly like it!!! I hope it gets even better :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
This can already be achieved.

If you organise your music as "Music\Artist\Album" or similar, and then use the arrow to the right hand side of the location text to go to the artist/album required, you don't need a database...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Pandemonium:
I can't control the fantastic S2P player with my BT headset (Lubix Bluetooth Stereo Headset).

I can control WM player instead...

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KyleMac:
On my computer i have album art assigned to every one of my songs, and when i transferred the mp3 files onto my storage card and tried to play the songs in s2p, the songs play just fine, but the album art is extremely distorted. It still displays, so s2p recognizes that each song is associated with album art, but the artwork is severely distorted (for instance my white counting crows album cover is purple and looks like someone took a magnet to it).

Is the only way to get covers to correctly display with s2p to put a cover.jpg in each album folder? I thought i read in the first post that the covers should display correctly if tagged to each individual mp3.

Edit: It seems that some of my album artwork is displaying properly and some is very distorted. On my computer, when playing each song in WMP, all of the album artwork displays correctly and with no distortion. I cannot find any correlation between the correctly displayed and distorted images. Some of the ones that display correctly were m4ps at one point but have since been converted to mp3 (some are distorted). Some of the artwork that was always associated with an mp3 (which was never an m4p) is very distorted (and some are not). Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mmick:
Well, the album art is given a "mirror" under the bottom bar and MP3 tag info is usually bigger than the top bar so I think some ajusts would be good (perhaps the info rolling)

About the organization, it would be very difficult to most people to do that on their non-album or non-artist organized music as folders with a kind of style of music or tons of musics. It should be the CPU organizing all the stuff and not ourselves...

About the configuration, I find out that option on the registry, is there any other way? It could be an option on the program itself.

The program is great as A C and it would be great if this was added as it would be perfect :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
I think someone needs to create a version of the S2U2 Config for S2P...

Great program. Continue to enjoy. I just sent my donation.

I like the .38 update, especially the time slider.

I would like to add to the requests for the ability to use the D-Pad to move back or forth in a song / podcast in 5 or 10 sec increments. I use it a lot for podcasts and trying to land on a specific time is hard with the slider.

Thanks. Keep up the great work

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pure_guava:
I guess I just don't understand how to get to album view and it's very irritating.

"- added Album View screen. Under the music playback screen, slide up or down the edge of the album art will change to the Album View screen. To move to previous or next Album, tap the adjacent albums. To move faster, slide to left or right. To go back to the normal playback screen, slide up or down the edge of the album art."

The edge at the bottom is covered by the rewind, play and fast forward buttons. The edge at the top is covered by the song that is playing.

Sooo... it can't slide over those areas. And I've spent 35 minutes digging through this forum and can't find anybody who has even had an issue with it.

I'm not an idiot, but please... can somebody help me with this?

I think it would be better phrased: "slide up or down along the side edges of the album art will change to the Album View screen" or with those wonderful pictures.

I was sliding at the TOP and BOTTOM edge of the album art (where all the info text is)

Thanks! It was driving me crazy.

Every time I play a song the album cover comes up just fine, but there are none to flip through in album mode. I guess that's another hurdle I'll overcome after dinner.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] galenmd:
I was just instructed on the fix for that a few posts above. Go into the "storage card" instead of into your "music" folder. The other albums should pop up.
