[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Was able to launch 1.00 after numerous attempts at reinstalling and resetting. Added a new song so tried both Set Library & Refresh Library, and the waiting indicator never cleared. Tried soft-resetting, and launching S2P caused an infinite waiting indicator from there.

Haven't tried reformatting my SD card because my computer with a SD slot is broken and I reformatted in the past week. If this is the fix, it would be inconvenient that a single app forces me to reformat. Not to mention the last time I reformatted, the device stopped recognising the card and required a subsequent hard reset...

I theorised that you changed the algorithm for loading the library's tag info and album art to be automatic on a library refresh (and possibly at startup?). This would ease the inconvenience of the 0.xx versions (having to slowly scroll through your album list to load the tags and art).

My device is an Elf. It's slow. I therefore think the issue is that you can't put the strain of an automatic load of 100 album infos on slower devices. I'd like to know if 1.1 allows for a fix, for there's no point for me to buy it just to test it and then use up my monthly refund...

I did, what did I miss?

When I connect my headphones, the screen pops-up with s2u2, but it doesn't start s2p.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Duramax:
Around 600 songs, 50+ folders I'd say? Seemed like it lasted forever, so I'd say 30 seconds to a minute before I aborted it...now, I let it start opening/processing *then* plug in the headphones, and it will load 5-10 seconds.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bteljuice:
I have a question.

When playing a song, the pic displays the ALBUM pic instead of the SONG pic that comes with it, How can I fix that? V.0.83

Gapless playback/crossfading?

Hi A_C,

Any chance you could please consider implementing Gapless playback, or even better, crossfading?

How about a simple equalizer?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] felixdd:
So for my HD2, only the play button on the remote works with S2P.

But for some users, it appears that even the FF/REW buttons work. Does anyone else's FF/REW buttons work?

EDIT: I disabled "override WMP controls" and now even FF/REW buttons work. Weird.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
As most users reported that S2P uses lesser resources than WMP, I don't know what's wrong with your device. My only advice is try to close unnecessary apps or try to soft-reset first.

Check out the few settings under S2U2 Settings' S2P section.

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

Either turn on the option "Always load embedded Album Pic" or put that SONG into a different folder.

Since S2P uses WMP for the playback, I don't how code these functions within WMP.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] theNuclear:
Wish

Sorry for bad english. I use google translator

Hello A_C, very good program.

Wish: Make a function to please the program is fully working with ID3 tags, but not the names of folders and files in the library

Also: to give the files s2p.tag attribute hidden, for beauty

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] T-nm:
I already did, everything is checked correctly.

I really want this to work lol, this is a very nice program, thank you for your help and time.

Ho I forgot to tell that S2P doesn't pause playback when headphones unplug.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WoMec:
What about implementing support for widcomm BT stack for playing via BT headphones with avrcp???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Yom:
I know for a fact that this *kinda* works on the HD2 with NRG ROMs. I say "kinda" since it was broken for pretty much all June ROM builds... (Please note, this was likely a ROM issue, NOT an S2P issue... I never found out what was breaking it, though.)

I would re-phrase the request as:

Could you please make AVRCP in S2P more resilient in less-than-optimal ROMs?

In other words, stop it from going straight to the home screen when PLAY is pressed...

But like I said, this might be out of A_C's hands...

Since we are in topic, A_C, could you please briefly describe how S2P takes advantage of the AVRCP profile in the Widcomm stack?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cfallaw:
Album Art Issue

I updated my album art from the original art that was embedded in the file. The new art shows in WMP but not S2P it is either blank or shows the old art. How do I fix this? I am using the paid version (great app, happy to pay for it).

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
1. Since v1.1, the Artists/Albums lists are already showing the ID3 tags, not from the folder name. But the basic rule doesn't change - a folder is treated as an album.

2. I thought that in the very beginning, but decided to leave it as it is so that users know what is happening on their devices.

If you know how to dump the registry, please send an email to s2p at ac-s2 dot com to follow up.

What's your device/ROM? As said in the FAQ, it's hard to support AVRCP on all devices as different vendor has different AVRCP implementation.

Yes, you're right, it's out of my hands.

Goto that updated folder, delete these files: s2p3.tag, folder.jpg & cover.jpg. Then start S2P again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] T-nm:
Ok thanks, I'll do this in the weekend.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] priyesh88:
Q.1)no i don't want to play songs whole library ...i want to play songs album after album this was happening in last ver.0.58. but not with v0.83..if this option is not there in settings i request u to add....Q.2) in v0.58 u had made album view it was very cool my class girls loved that .....are u going to make that in next versions.?????:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cfallaw:
Ok. I did that. Now, when I go to an artist or album, all the songs are listed as the same song. Plus, when you try to play it, it keeps scrolling through the songs (like it is trying to play it and can't). The first time, I had to take the battery out. The second time I played a game of hit the power button and try to hit the reset before S2P took back over (it won't let me stop it when it is scrolling through songs).

I like the look and field of the program but it is starting to get frustrating. I really want it to work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
Try "Refresh Library" then.

Hi, I've got s2p 1.00, and I'm wondering if there's any way to make scrolling and animations smoother? I don't care if it uses more ram or cpu, I've got an hd2.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] extric:
Any chance of supporting .cue files in an upcoming 1.2 release. I have a lot of mp3 house mixes that now appear as one big 75m 'blob'. It would be great if I could actually have the song inside the song info. In my case the mp3 is actually the album.

Btw you're 2 little programs actually prevented going to the dark apple side. :D

Hi, I've got s2p 1.00 on Htc HD2

& it crashes

anyone else got it working on there HD2 ?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
If you have a legal copy of S2P v1.0, you could upgrade it to v1.1 via Marketplace without any additional charge. There is a new option to run S2P in a higher refresh rate.

Probably not, as CUE is mainly used with BIN file that I don't know how to handle it.

Seems like you're running a illegal copy...

Anyway, the crashes is not caused by your device (unless you have flashed a ROM with WMP removed). It's mainly caused by the music files, which are improperly tagged or encoded.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wammus!:
Can't get it installed

after using several previous versions I thought it would be a good time to buy the 1.1 version on Marketplace.

Now when I install it I get a message "S2P could not be installed", marketplace logfile says "Request completed with http code=400 [():0]"

Any advise? (should I ask for a refund in 24hrs?):(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] potatochip:
Same thing with me.

Just installed Marketplace and bought S2P and get the message "could not be installed".

Any ideas as to how to proceed?

Voice command and S2P

What did you change in the registry?

I tried changing "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:WMPLAYER key 1 to location of S2P.exe but it did nothing. Voice command still opens WMplayer instead of S2P.

s2p + MW600

Anyone had luck to get s2p display the current song title on the SE MW600?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] extric:
This is not uncommon filetype for music files. You can download some music below that includes the a large MP3 and a cue file. For winamp you need a plugin that reads the cue file which is basically a txt file with some time-song info. Take a look and it would be great if S2P could read the song info out of the cue file instead of the ID3 when present.

Got this sorted thanks to some lightning fast support from A_C.

I got a refund from Microsoft and then repurchased it using the search on Marketplace on my phone.

I had originally purchased on my pc and then tried to install via Marketplace on my phone and had problems.

Hope this helps others with the same issue.

The new version looks great BTW
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wammus!:
Ooww yeah!!

Thanks for the tip! Tried it and it's installing at this very moment! :)

works great at all

but some errors:

1. Wenn Device Volume is ou or less, and i start S2P, i can´t change the device Volume.

The Speaker Symbol on the top can´t be used to increase the volume.

2. look at the picture!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
Thanks again.

I don't think so, unless there is a SDK from Sony.

garbled characters for music info of m4a files

Dear A_C,

I have a problem with latest version 1.2 of S2P.

Though previous ver 1.1 worked all right, latest S2P shows garbled characters for Japanese music info of m4a files.

Can I have a solution about this? Or is there a way to get previous version?

Thank you and sorry for my poor English.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
Please send an email to s2p at ac-s2 dot com to follow up.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 16v:
i have Version 1.1.

S2U2 in VGA looks like S2P.

S2U2 in QVGA is working very well.

I think this is a problem with the installer.

Cause in this version both are integrated.

Maybe there is a way i can install qvga version only?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
Please reinstall/upgrade to v1.2 via Marketplace.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 16v:
same result!

No changes!

Hello

Many thanks for the great job.

But I have a question : Could you add a button to change the order of the music files in the song list. Alphabetic is not usable. Why do you change this ?

My songs are in folders and subfolders like in the FAQ
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mongoose:
Almost all desktop players support .CUE. I use tiny XMplay.

But still no player for WM with .CUE support. :(

I also have a lot of DJ sets 180-200 min length in .mp3 with .cue. Navigation through such long files still not very convenient. :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jonny68:
you have to pay for this :confused: isnt it available for free?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tomoffel:
hm.. with Windows Media Player and also Manila/Sense Player the title information is on the Display (just the Songname) :) so I just think its something in the Bluetooth AVRC or maybe in the AVCTP/AVDTP?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] extric:
I agree that this is really a missing feature for WM players. :( I tried to cut up my some mixes but this creates so many mp3's that it becomes unmanageable.

The good thing about the mp3 and cue is that there is one huge mp3 and one cue file with all info on song - lenght - artist etc. Other pls or m3u needs multiple mp3.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rostar17:
S2P and Voice Command

Does anyone have any information on using voice command with S2P? Any help would be appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mongoose:
I've tried to cut sets also but you're right - there is complete mess with files becomes in this case.

I use a "workaround". I change "prev track" and "next track" buttons to "rewind" and "fast forward" with 2 min step. It's better than nothing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pw-man:
AC - just picked up S2P off the marketplace (been following S2U2 and S2P forever...) :-)

Is there a way to change the carrier logo on S2P, similar to S2U2?

Also, are there any special tricks for lyrics to display? I've got songs with lyrics embedded via MediaMonkey (lyricator plugin) - but I don't see anything?

(and yes, I did check the settings for lyrics.. they appear to be set correctly).

Thx!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rmanaka:
Have you tried holding your finger/stylus for a bit on the song title and then releasing? That works for me (and I use MediaMonkey and lyricator).

HTH
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Alex-X-xander:
Dear A_C

I had been using S2P 08beta for a couple of months and there were just a few things I wanted to have fixed (e.g. lyrics display) ... I was quite happy when I read about, 1.X although it's not freeware anymore. I picked it from marketplace some days ago (...registered there just because of this piece of software :-).

:):):)

It's simlply great - it's worth each cent I payed ! Even the lyrics display works just fine (this was was of my most wanted features). Thanks !

:rolleyes: If you continue working on s2p, please consider these two little subjects:

- add an option to adjust scrolling speed and clicking sensitivity (scrolling through lists still is not convenient)

- in the playlists now the full path-name is displayed... this is not useful. Much better to display artist&title, only.

yours, Alex

(HTC TD2, German T-Mobile branding)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pw-man:
Thanks - that did it... I must have missed that in the instructions :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
It'll be fixed in the next release.

Yes, it can, just follow the same instruction with S2U2 & copy the carrier logo to S2P's installed folder.

1. Actually the scrolling speed is already tuned in v1.2. However, there will be no option on that part as I want to keep down the number of options in S2P.

2. It's possible but will be very slow as the song order in a playlist is random, and S2P has to look-up each file & read the tags. So it won't be changed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mickgeorge:
Any plans for an Android version?

I moved to the dark side a few months ago and can't say I've regretted it for a minute, with the exception of not being able to use S2U2 and S2P, as there aren't any similar apps of comparable quality... Anything in the pipeline?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
I'm starting to use Android on my HD2. Thanks to those genius who knows how to make it works on HD2. But it's still at a very very early stage that it's hard to tell when or even will there be any S2 apps run on Android...

How do you update S2P from v1.1 to v1.2?

Can someone please walk me through step by step on how to update my Sprint HTC Touchpro 2 with 6.1. I signed into Marketplace and did a search for S2P. I could not find anything that says update. It wants me to "buy" the program which I already have. I've contacted Microsoft and they could not help me. Thank you in advance.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alanboo:
just bought s2p for my HTC HD MINI (rom tom photon 1.2 based on latest original one 1.36) and everything works FINE but:

- [URGENT] no way to toggle the top system taskbar (the options doesn't work)

- landscape view does not work (no way to rotate), but i haven't tried to tweak the registry (like add your program to g-sensor list)

features request :D :

- [URGENT] hvga support !!! 1-2px bigger font !!! and bigger controls...

- an option to auto-enable bluetooth on app start and auto-connect with a2dp (and it should shutdown bluetooth when i close the app)

- an option to bind the "hide, close" button to REALLY stop and close the app (i already have the home button to hide S2P..)

- fade effect on HOME button like the hide button already do (if possible)

- obviously (i think that u are working on that) album art download without external script

I dream to get into my car with bluetooth off, tap your program to listen connected to my car radio, when i leave the car i want to tap only a button to close :D

Thx for the great work!!

PS: then raise up your prices :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Hey A_C, when I install S2P from the marketplace, the skin is black with black buttons and such. Is there an official iPhone-style theme available? I searched for it but couldn't find it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
1. I'm afraid I can't fix your taskbar problem because I don't have HD mini on-hand & Microsoft does not provide an HVGA emulator.

2. The landscape only works on those device that changes the orientation of the whole system when the physical orientation is changed.

Actually, I was planning to do so. But Microsoft is quite strict on the copyright matters when approving apps on Marketplace. So, I won't touch that part in the near future.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alanboo:
thx for the reply,

1) my TOP taskbar problem is not a problem, i'd like an option to remove it

2) htc mini does not rotate the whole system but some programs do it (albums).

but i think this is a problem of hd mini (htc_music has the same bug).

for HVGA... a new visual studio does not support hvga???

please read the other feature request... or i'm planning to make an auto-a2dp program by my self

thx

Will you add crossfade feature in future release?:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
I'm not sure does the latest version of Visual Studio has HVGA supported, but all the SDKs released so far don't.

For the BT integration, it's already implemented with S2U2.

I thought I've already answered your question by giving a detail explanation...

No, as I don't know how to do that with WMP.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kobers:
Problem is now solved
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] higher diamonds:
Great music player A_C

I went ahead a purchased version 1.2 and things a good on my HTC touch Diamond
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alanboo:
Ok i checked S2U2 for the "bluetooth feature" that i need...

"option to automatically run S2P when the headphone (either Bluetooth or wired) is connected"

ok this is a part of a bigger problem.. when a wm user enable bluetooth with the headphone, this will connect only in handsfree mode and not A2DP

so i (we) need a feature to auto-connect A2DP when handsfree is connected.

there are some people who made this tool (autoA2DP, A2DPToggle) etc but these works ONLY with MS bluetooth stack and NOT with widcomm (broadcomm) one.

HTC hd mini and some others HTC phones uses the widcomm stack.

I know you have a lot of work to do with your software ... but when i get into my car and switch on my radio i ALWAYS have to:

BEST CASE:

-1 enable phone bluetooth (and it will auto connect in handsfree mode)

-2 open bluetooth devices and tap the radio device, then tap "done"

-3 tap A2DP service to connect it

40 seconds lost every time

WORST CASE:

-4 i didn't remember to "switch on" the car, that will shutdown the car-radio for 2 sec.

-5 i have to re-pair the bluetooth devices and restart from the point 1 :D

80 seconds lost

... and i was planning to buy a bluetooth A2DP receiver to connect it to a stereo.

so i already started to develop this application in C# with a lot of problems due to the .net wrapper of the widcomm (broadcomm) DLL.

So now i'm trying to write it in c++..

for the HVGA:

i hope u will start considering it, and for now u could increse the characters size by 1px (bottom bar, menu and lib browser) and sell the app in another package writing that it can run correctly in HVGA... it will be a lot better than now... if u want i will test it for you

In Visual Studio you can configure the emulator to run at a specific screen resolution:

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/windowsmobiledev/thread/7c7a49c3-5080-44e4-8c6b-32f0b3c8c87d

thx for all

ps: S2U2 is another great application
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alanboo:
Another things about the lib browser

consider that i'm in artists view:

-tap an artist to get into the "his albums view"

how i can play an entire album?

- if i get into an album view i can tap only "shuffle" on chose a song..

and if i want to play all this album normally?

and another more thing about the auto-lock..

S2P has an option to auto-lock the phone after X time, right?

the option can be off, but i understand that off means "don't auto-lock the phone" instead it does mean "no timer active in S2P" that will leave the windows timer on.

so if i want that the phone will not "auto-lock" only when S2P is running... what to do? is it another feature of S2U2?

thx

tell me if i break your balls :D
