Only if Microsoft tells me how or somebody else writes a plug-in...

btw: MID does work, too, with the GSPlayer MIDI plug-in.

TCPMP manages to play .wma files, without any plug in. Maybe you could find out how it is done from CoreCodec Inc. Here

Looks great.

How does it compare to tcpmp?

Apples and oranges...
TCPMP has the focus on video, and it seems to have a bigger development group (currently the entire interface of MortPlayer's written by me, the playback routines are re-used Open Source with some minor modifications). Thus it benefits in better codec support (.wma, .wmf, .avi, .mpg, ...) while the handling is currently a bit difficult for audio - most of the actions are only available in menus or by assigning them to device buttons. However, this might change in V1.0, where they want to implement skin support.
MortPlayer on the other hand has its focus on being an MP3 player substitute. For this, there are e.g. the Favorites and a "Changer Mode", which allows to handle your directory contents or playlist files like CDs in a disk changer or directories in an MP3 CD player - if one list is finished, the next is played, you can shuffle through all favorites, etc. Also, most skins include big buttons so you don't have to use the stylus in the train or car. Additionally, there are features like bookmarks, stream management, ...
There are differences in the playback routines and the equalizer, too. What sounds better seems to be a matter of taste, devices, and maybe used encodings (LAME, Blade, ....).

TCPMP won't play audiobooks in wma format, including this new version. I can play the wma files using WMP or Pocket Player but these won't bookmark or fast forward.
When I try playing in TCPMP the sound is garbled, same as it does in Pocket Music Player.
Does this garbled sound problem sound familar to anyone else?

Love the iPod skin!! (took me a while to find the main menu from it, but i eventually got it)

How do i add pictures for my MP3's?


edit , nm, figured it out

Album covers

If the Skin you're using supports covers, you can display the album cover.
The image is looked for in the following order:

...\path\track.jpg/png (e.g. \Music\CD\Track.jpg for \Music\CD\Track.mp3)
Cover contained in the ID3 tags. Must be JPG or PNG, and declared as picture type "Cover (front)" or "Other" (checked in that order).
...\path\cover.jpg/png (e.g. \Music\CD\cover.jpg for all tracks in \Music\CD)
...\path\path.jpg/png (e.g. \Music\CD\CD.jpg for all tracks in \Music\CD)
...\playlistpath\playlist.jpg/png (e.g. \Music\MyPlaylist.jpg for all tracks in \Music\MyPlaylist.m3u). Works only if the playlist was opened using the list skip buttons or the open dialog (either from favorites or with "Other path/playlist").
