Actual FF/rewind in current track, rather than the silly next track/previous track that are the only options in WMP on PPC currrently.

The playlist editior is awful, How about using ID3 tags?

Some visualizations, while playing music, would be 8).

Here are my suggestions for Playlist Management:

- Create a My Music folder
- Every folder under that should be automatically a playlist
- You should have the ability to create a playlist from, say, 3 previous playlists, and so on (that would ease immensely) and shuffle through them
- Ability to map a key to scroll through playlists

1-When play audio, use the sreen to show playlist
2-Add Spectrum analyzer (a la PocketMusic, WithMP3, etc.)
3-Add equalizer (toggle show/hidden)
4-Add Today Plugin (Transparent, 1 line or put the control on the bottom bar (a la Windows/XP and WMP)
5-Switchable to full screen with large buttons (in car use!!!)

What I want is:

1) Being able to download "wmp themes" as the ones on the today page

2) car mode would be a plus.

3) being able to stretch videos (proportionately, of course) to the whole screen on landscape mode.

4) It would be nice if they could add an icon to the navigation bar that when tapped it would display a list of common task (pause, mute, stop)
this would be great when using PIE or any other application so you would not need to switch applications.

5) better playlist management. I would like to be able to sort by file name. When i rip my CDs I usually have Musicmatch label the file by "artist/album/number/song". This way I can listen to them in the right order.

6) bass and treble settings

plus everything else that you guys have mentioned! :lol:

How about a skip 30 and -6? For my WMP on the desktop I found a skin that allows me to skip ahead 30 seconds or go back 6 seconds. This is great when watching videos. Skip30.wmz

I agree, fast forward and rewind would be good to have.

Also, It would be nice have some kinda of "down sampling" function to play higher resolution or high bitrate video as if they were of low bit rate. I don't know how it's possible though, but it would be nice if you are playing from a source with high bit rate that the PPC can't hadle.

Lastly, why can't there be a wmv 9 player for 2002 PPC?

Default Features requested..

First and the most crucial and possibly the most useful would be a button or a set up for Turning off the screen. Just turn off. I use a different player to turn the screen off, and keep WMP running for listening to music.

Second, divx support. I think Microsoft is powerful enough to replace Pocket MVP sooo easily, so please do so!

More information on the screen regarding the file name, especially when there is no ID3 tag. It should be able display information more clearly.

Skins. More AUDIO ONLY skins, Please!

Tray or Today Screen plugin, while listening to music the bottom bar is could be used to display just the ID3 information on mp3s. Today plug-in may not have to have controls, because WMP got great hardware button support!

MVP Does not need any major overhaul, so please do not change anything on how it works, or inner features.

Good Luck..

I think the most important thing for we wifi users is the ability to stream any content that the PPCs brother can...especially audio like radio stations instead of a paltrey few.

All of the above suggestions would be nice

But an 8+ band equaliser with presets (although i'd probably tweak them anyway) In short, just take all of pocketplayer's features and incorporate them to windows media player.

And get rid of that awful "transfer music using the desktop WMP". I couldn't get pocket wmp to play any 96kbs mp3's I'd just copied onto a spare storage card and I positively HATE waiting an hour just for the stupid program to convert, transfer my music.

And yes, I use pocketplayer now. It's the greatest!!! Although pocketmusic isn't bad at all - especially the free version - can't ask for much more if it's free.
