Thanks a lot!

I also live in Germany, managed to open the site, but I can't comprehend how to buy there: should MP Microsoft software be installed first or is there any way to obtain it directly, without "assistance" of microsoft?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] agentaaron:
Just bought the v1.0 from the market...

...too be honest, I kind of prefer Nitrogen still because of the skinning capabilities. Your player always worked for me without any noticable bugs, but the whole iPhone layout was what turned me off...anyhow, I will still show my support to you and maybe pray for great themes soon ;)

Please read your PM.

Please read your PM.

The .asx problem will be improved in the next version.

Please switch the catalog to "US-English" first.

1. Yes, there will be an option to have a quit shortcut key.

2. It's a future feature & not well-defined yet.

3. The landscape mode could only be activated by the OS now.

Thanks for the comment. Let's give some space for Microsoft to improve.

Hi

+1 for making a quit button :-)

Then a question, i have a folder with quite allot of music in it 800+ mp3's, when I select it I only get 99 of them. Is this the expected behavior?

(I know its a large folder, but it worked in 0.83)

Great program otherwise, I purchased it mostly to support the dev since I was already quite satisfied with 0.83.

You have to organize your music into folders. Use Media Monkey, it'll do it for you based on what ever you want (and it's free). This is in the FAQ's.

@A_C: I would really love to buy S2P, however the Last.fm support is essential for me. Why do you not support Pocket Scrobbler? Just because you do not want to? It is super-easy to implement.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
Have you read the change log? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Johny_G:
Oh man, sorry for that :-D. I just tried Ctrl+F with "last.fm" and "scrobbler" :-)). I go for it. Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Johny_G:
OK, I am ****ed :-/. MS uses SIM Card to determine your country so I cannot even purchase via my fake USA Account :-(. I tried to purchase from web, changed my region, changed catalog, and nothing works. There are no paid apps in Marketplace. I would really appreciate to be able to buy license directly from you (via PayPal). Thank you for your work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GunnarKarlsson:
I already have my music organized in filders for artis\album\*.mp3

no problem there. :-)

its just that I have one album with allot of music in it where s2p just lists 99 of the files.

I have read the faq (before posting) and can't find any reference to any maximum amount of songs that could be placed into one album, with v0.83 it listed all 800 songs. No problems, I'll just blace them into separate albums and make a playlist but it was convinient to be able to shuffle them directly from album view.

MarketPlaceRegionSwitch solved my problem :-). I got it installed and gonna test it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mimi30:
For me, after selected "US English", I choose buy S2P and Microsoft said something like: Sorry an error as occur, we couldn't acces to your demand!

I'm French, and I would be happy to buy S2P, but I began to be desperate!!!

**** Market place.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] n-zocker:
great now it worked for me too ^^

thx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mimi30:
After may be 10 times, market place allow me to buy S2P.

At the moment, I have no time to try it but he loock very nice, better than before and the play list saving possibility is a must to have.

S2P 1.0 volume too loud over A2DP on HD2

Hi A_C,

I own a Sony HBH-is800 stereo headset, which lacks a volume control. On the HD2 the system volume seems to have zero effect in Bluetooth stereo volume, so the only way to control it is via S2P. But even the lowest setting in the slider (a pixel before sound cuts off completely) is extremely loud... can you please adjust that so low volume really is low volume?

Thanks!

A_C, Is there any other way to obtain a v1.0 copy from other way?, like handandgo that accept international buyers.

alternative to marketplace

is there an alternative to marketplace? i do not have an unlimited data plan. i just want to pay and download from web and install via active sync.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] greenskeeper805:
If you have WiFi you can do it that way
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Johny_G:
A_C: I've finally checked it out, and I got 3 remarks. One is kinda important, two are marginal :-).

1) WMP registry feature is bugged:

a) Even if I pause the song, it seems to be updating the remaining/elapsed time in registry and break the synchronization between Pocket Scrobbler and S2P.

b) Only name of the first track is put into registry. When it finishes, it is just deleted and not replaced by new one.

Can you take a look at it, please?

Now the small ones:

2) The overall performance might be a little better. The dynamic scrolling is acceptable since I do not have many albums in my phone, but the animations are making it laggy :-/. Since there is no accelerated version anymore, can it be possible to turn the animations off? Thanks!

3) The horizontal volume bar keeps confusing me. It just looks like a position slider. Maybe some speaker icon next to it can make it better. But this is not a big deal, just an idea :-). I can get used to it.

But it is a great music player indeed and I just love the S2U2 integration. Since it is even compatible with Audio Booster, I am sure I will use it as one and only music player when the registry bug is fixed :-).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SciFer:
Coverflow

hi A_C, I have watched and appreciated your work for a long but I have been out of the loop of awhile. I've tried to read through the pages but they are just too many. My question is simple (or maybe not), why did stop coverflow? That was the best thing ever. Any chance of it being added back on later? I definitely pay more for that version. Especially with these new powerful processors that are now out. They should be able to handle the graphics much better.

thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
I think I have somehow added a limit on it so as to protect it from memory overflow.

1. You need S2U2 to do that.

2. Try to turn off "Resume playback after call".

The problem is I cannot control the output volume of the BT on HD2. You should have same experience with the Windows Media Player.

Could you let me know your problem with Marketplace?

Could you send me an email (s2p at ac-s2 dot com) to follow up?

S2P 1.0 not working on my HD2

Hi,

I bought version 1.0 from marketplace, but was actually never able to see it running on my HD2.

Version 0.83 is working very smoothly.

I did all the steps mentioned above and even removed the s2p registry entries from the phone. (as mentioned in the FAQs)

I also have removed S2U2 beforehand.

I only see the loading icon rotating in the middle of the screen.

I have to add that I'm from Germany as well (like some people before with problems), but it can't necessarily have anything to do with it, because a friend, who has exactly the same (English) HD2 ROM like me could install S2P 1.0 without any problems. A thing to mention though is that he had S2P never installed before.

What else could cause this malfunction?

I would really LOOOVE to use the player with version 1.0 ... also because I "donated". ;-) I thought before giving it a bad rating, I ask you guys here (and A_C in specific).

Any further ideas?

--Chris
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Johny_G:
Done.

(just in case it dropped to your spam folder)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] manusfreedom:
Hi A_C,

Why S2P (all version including 1.0) and S2U2 (all version) are not very smooth? Did you limit the framerate/refreshrate?

I said that because on my HD2, all list slide are not smooth and I haven't this problem with others applications (all Resco apps, PhoneEx, SPB Shell,...).

Do you plan to add a better landscape support? (like using full width ;) )

Could you add a window mode (without full screen and top bar)?

Regards.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] knank:
Hi A_C!!

I want to test your S2P 1.0 and the lyrics support, but i don't want to use market place because a can't pay with paypal, there's any way to do that?, thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Johny_G:
Marketplace does not use PayPal. You just type your credit card data in.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wolfkmann:
A_C,

2 more quirks I have noticed.

1) I followed Zepiii's instructions (see post 1049) to add lyrics to all my songs, and I can see all the lyrics on my computer in WMP, but S2P only displays the lyrics for MP3's not wma's.

2) I went to use the search function to look for a specific song by title, but there was no way to call up the on screen keyboard, like you have displayed in your screen shot. Most pieces of software, have the keyboard button on the bottom of my screen for me to tap on for the keyboard to pop up, S2P does not.

On the bright side, all formats of the playlist seem to work for me, I know this has been an issue for some.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] greenskeeper805:
Hey AC, when I'm viewing all songs and try to use the right hand side alpha selector, it doesn't work, it just goes back to the beginning. Only in Songs, Artist and Album work. Maybe a bug. I have my music organized just like you posted.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
Please send me (s2p at ac-s2 dot com) an email to follow up.

Replied.

Yes, they're all limited to a maximum of 15 frame per second for the sake of battery saving.

I'm adding an option for S2P to have a higher frame rate in the next version & some new features as well (http://beta.ac-s2.com).

Please send me (s2p at ac-s2 dot com) an email to follow up.

1. Please send me one of your WMA file for testing. Suggest to put it on any free web hosting site & send me the link.

2. Press the search box (anywhere) will pop-up the keyboard again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
Could you send me a screen-shot?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wolfkmann:
I will email you a wma file to s2p at ac-s2 dot com

as for the keyboard, I am tapping in the white space of the search bar next to the magnifying glass, but the keyboard is not popping up

Markeplace seems to be not available in my country, and yes... I'm currently selecting US-English, the product it's not listed and when I search for them, doesn't appear!, only it's visible to me when I enter via your website link.

In other matter, I can't add my card information as well (my country is not listed in the drop down menu).

It's my first time using MarketPlace, please be patient with me. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Johny_G:
Use Chainfire's MarketPlaceRegionSwitch (keep default settings) and then put in some USA billing data. You need to take some googling time with it in order to type in existing city, ZIP code and phone number in correct format, but it does work :-).

Maybe your country will lose the taxes, but both A_C and Microsoft will get their share; so who cares ;-)).

How can we become a beta user? ;)

Have you a twitter account to follow your product dev?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wolfkmann:
So, we figured out that lyrics are only displayed if they are part of an id3 tag. files that are in mp3 format naturally have id3 tags, but files that are wma format have their own tags, and therefore lyrics can't be displayed in S2P. Does anyone know how to change a wma file's native tag to id3? or to add an id3 tag onto a wma file. I really don't want to convert my entire library.

And again: S2P don't start

Hi ,

before a few days i had the problem: S2P wouldn't start... I wrote it in the forum and there were a good answer with a good solution.... But now some days later i've got the problem again! :( :

I would refresh the library and by that S2P freeze... I had to uninstall S2P, delete the S2Pfolder in Application Data, delete the S2Pfolder in Programms and delete the S2Pfolder in the registry. Than i reinstalled S2P from the Marketplace But it wouldn't start !!!

Now i deinstalled it again and installed the 0.83-Beta

But i payed for the 1.0-Version... :(

I want to use it now!!

I hope there is a solution ...

Thanks for now

I am having trouble with A2DP on my HD2 with version 0.83.

When I try to control s2p from my headset WMPLayer pops up and the command fails. I read, that I have to activate HTC Sense for it to work so activated it. A2DP worked then. When I disabled HTCSensec it didn't work again. I don't use HTCSense and I don't want to.

Will A2DP work on my HD2 with cersion 1.0 without Sense? or should it also work with 0.83?

Or is it maybe my rom? (German Vodafone)

Or did I do something wrong?

Thanks in advance

Just bought v1.0 and looove it. I have an Omnia 2.

There's only two things that I don't like about it..

Lags a little on my device, could you add an option to remove the animations or something?

Also when used with S2U2 (Love that too ;)) I have to "Double Tap" the unlock button to get it to wake up. Any advice?

EDIT: This only happens sometimes. Weird.. Sometimes it will open straight to the lock screen.

EDIT2: It seems to happen when music is paused or I've got s2p running in the background, when I've got it playing it doesnt happen.

Keep up the great work!! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Uncle_CM:
I love S2P too and would buy it, but is there a way to get a version without using the Marketplace? I dont want to install and use this "feature" of Microsoft.

Maybe, "donating" the price via PayPal. This would be nice! :)

Playlist problem with S2P 1.0

Hello, many thanks for the excellent S2P !

Yet, I could never access the playlists on the older beta version, but when switching to the latest 0.83 they suddenly worked fine in my Omnia II.

Unfortunately, having just bought the 1.0, the playlists do not work again, without having changed anything in my phone.

I can see my playlist files but when opening them I have 0 file.

The playlists do work fine with WMP Mobile and I use WMP for transfering from my PC.

Am I doing something wrong, or is it some compatibility problem with the Omnia II ?

Thank you for any help.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] yannod:
Thank you Gunnar, but I don't understand what is "tcpmp" (?).

Also, I want to create my playlist from WMP in my PC, and like to get automatic transfer/synchronisation to my Omnia 2, as was working fine with S2P v0.83 beta, or with WMP which is working fine in my phone although I don't use it.

I guess I will probably have to revert to 0.83, hoping the next update to 1.0 works again in my phone.

S2P not starting

Hello A_C,

Thanks for this excellent music player. I have been using this for a long time now. I just bought the new version 1.0 from the Marketplace.

I have one problem thought, sometimes, s2p doesn't start, yet it runs in the background. I think it is probably because of the folder that I set in the library. I know for sure, if I set my library to my Root folder with all the songs, it freezes and doesn't start next time. I don't see this problem in v0.83 beta version. That is working fine. I've both installed side by side.

Is this a know issue? could you please give us a fix?

Thank you!

It let you to put your Czech credit card? (I am Czech too, but it didn't let me to put my Czech Card :( )
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Johny_G:
Yes, but you need to enter valid USA billing data, and make sure that your bank allows internet payment (mostly it is allowed, but with 0 CZK daily limit - so you need to take a walk to your bank).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Matthes42:
let it run in the background. it seems to need a long time to start the very first time to scan your sd-card.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jebise101:
just got this today i thought after 1.0 i would not have to fiddle around with playlist but i still have to. I use WMP on my PC to transfer my music to my O2 and playlist and eveything. But s2p dose not see any of my playlist since they where created on a PC. Default playlist folder location is on the root of whatever drive/SD card but s2p looks for it in the music library.

I then have to copy the playlist from /playlists to /music and s2p will see it but songs do not show. To fix that i have to open the playlist in notepad and remove fist batch of code so it can find the file "../music" since that how WMP synced it. This is very annoying part (was not the case in 0.83) i didn't mind copying the playlist from one folder to another but its to much if i have to open and edit the playlist.

It should look for music in whatever folder you select and look for playlist on the root folder just like WMP creates it. Or we should be given the option to select the playlist location. Event selecting the root of the SD card dose not work in it finding the playlist, i really thought this would have been fixed as i and a few people asked for this.

Please provide a fix for this if users store music on the root of the card "/music" it should look for playlist on the root as well "/playlists". I understand the way its done was so playlist can be made within the s2p interface but again the is a tedious job and it just easier to wmp sync rename and create folder and use the playlist.

Currently these are the steps i have to take, hopefully this also help users using WMP.

1. Sync music with WMP to SD/Storage etc

2. Go to playlist directory where you sync your music (storage/SD) "/playlist"

3. Copy the playlist to the PC

4. Open it in notepad and use the replace feature Ctrl+H

5. Enter "../music/" in the replace what field without quotes

6. Enter "/" in the replace with field without quotes

7. Save and transfer the playlist to the music folder /music

Step's 5-7 might be a little different for you guys but since i have a 16GB storage on my O2 and let WMP do its thing i have to use the above steps.

As much as i love this app (AND I USE IT EVERY DAY) this is not acceptable for a finished product, even looking at HTC sense music player it knows where to look for playlist this should be the same with s2p.

Another thing how do you exit s2p without going into the menu, before it was just the call button and now we have to go into the menu to exit i wish there was a hardware key that we could map like before.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
It'll be fixed (actually already fixed) in the next release, hopefully within 2 weeks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gnash.s:
Great, I'll try that. I have another problem with this new version. The swipe left & right to change tracks is not working consistently. It doesn't work after one track change. again, I never had this problem in the beta version. Any of you have the same problem?

I have loaded both beta and the new version and I'm using the beta version for now.

Hi, i have a question...

I read the FAQ and organized my songs in folders and subfolders, but i have a folder named "Various Artists" where i put 20-25 songs from 20-25 different artists and S2P recognized them very badly, calling all of them with the first song name.

EX: i have "Knockin' on Heaven's Door, Americana and New York New York" in here, when i go to Artist, it's all OK, when i browse by Song, all of them are called Americana, and their Artist name is all Offrspings....

Sorry for my english, i hope you understand :)
