I hope I started this thread correct I wanted to talk about if the MotoQ is a good mp3 player and what everybodies opinion is on this matter. I would like to start by what everyone thought about the playback through the included Windows Media I get all most every song a skipping the first 10 to 15 seconds, skipping meaning no sound...I think a buffer is needed to keep this stream flowing. I tried Pocket Player at www.conduits.com and this was a much better in many ways than Media player, but I had some issues and decided to remove it. Called Pocket Tunes Pocket Tunes : Palm MP3 Player : Treo MP3 Player : Palm WMA Player having this for the Palm was GREAT they said they can not give out any info on plans for the MotoQ ( That means to me they are working on it. ) Not sure if the MotoQ has the power for good mp3 player or not, my Palm Treo 650 was better in that area... Have Motorola HT820 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones it make a AWESOME phone headset with the best voice recognition accuracy yet, but not the quality I would like for a stereo headset. Hoping the Windows & Motorola software update will address this let me know what you all are getting... do you get the skipping?
i have a 1 gig sd card 50% full of mp3's and i don't have any skipping at all that happens on any of the songs. do you have a lot running in the background possibly? i have noticed that if i try to use orb and stream a divx movie from my home while i have a bunch of stuff running, it seems to stutter a lot. however if i close everything with the task manager then i do seem to get better quality of the streaming divx.
i have not tried rhapsody or yahoo to go. no point for me with the amount of mp3's that most people have nowadays.
the skipping is a problem i also have time to time. it's buffering your song. it will do it automatically. i have no idea on how to turn the buffering off. i work at verizon and have heard of every complaint possible. most of it is the lack of education on how to use a SMARTPHONE vs PDA. i have songs that are over an hour long (techno/trance/house). so it will buffer them. plus when i have other apps running as text messaging or just the picture viewer open it tends to skip alot more. so basically, kill everything before you play music. hope this helps. if you guys have any questions, pm me please.
I like using the Q as an mp3/video player. It's actually one of the reasons I bought it. My favorite feature is the stereo adapter that I got for about $10 that allows me to plug in a tape adapter and listen to music through my car stereo. 2 gig doesn't carry my whole music collection but in my opinion it beats having to carry a separate music device and having to spend $300 on something that plays video.
verizon carries them as well as radio shack, or circuit city. but the ones you will get from some places maynot be fully compatible. try plugging in a set of headphones to see if you get stero out put. or else you got be running mono sound to 4+ (depending on how many you have in your car) speakers. just a thought...many people have come in complaining about the headphones they are using are not producing stereo sound. about 85% of the time it is the adapter. just a thought. verizon carries them for 15 + tax.
i was messing around with the Q's registry and found under Hkey_local_machine\audio\softwaremixer buffers and buffer size. now im the smartest guy when it comes to editing registry keys or values. but i was thinking if one was to change these values to 0, would it eliminate the skipping in the begining of songs?
I switched the the Core media player. It is free and supposedly handles the unencrypted apple AAC files. The biggest advantage to it is that it buffers better so it plays with never a skip. I noticed some skipping with WMP and bluetooth stereo headphones, but now there is none.

Excellent alphadog, I hope that others will move to TCPMP as well!
