I have got a new Nokia Lumia 1320.
Is there an app launcher to install apps like there are launchers in Android devices?
Is a free media player that supports most formats like .avi .mp4 .mkv .flv? Or that which is free in some countries?
The built-in media player will handle some formats. For others, just do a search on the relevant extension and you should find apps that can play them (I haven't checked, myself).
Nokia has an "App Folders" app which organizes your apps can function as a launcher, but I'm not sure if that's what you mean. Generally speaking, apps aren't allowed to launch other apps directly

wich is the best program and why ?
should i keep my original windows-media player wich wont play mp3 or is there a better one out there .....???
The original Media Player DOES play MP3 files. However, I prefer WMA format at 64k, which doubles my storage space with very little loss in quality (as far as what you can hear from the PPC even with good headphones). Unfortunately, the two excellent aftermarket players do not support WMA. So, if you want to play MP3 files, I recommend withMP3 (expensive, more mature) or PocketMusic (free, good but not perfect, early version release). The URL for the latter is www.pocketmind.com; I don't recall the URL for the other one.
With the windows media player keep the bit rate below 160k and the MP3's will play without issue, or got to Tools setttings, Audio & Video and allow the device to play unsupported files.

Well, the site is down so I can't go try it out. Does it actually play WMA format?

I see no evidence that it plays "all other formats." In fact, considering the author's anti-MS rant, I see reason to believe it will NOT play WMA.
I am unable to play .wav files on my fascinate. Specifically MajicJack email attachments. I'm sure they used to play. I've read a few places that this was a problem with froyo. Is there any fix/workaround?
You can just download a media player with wav support: I use RockPlayer Lite, as it's free and supports a lot of formats (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.redirectin.rockplayer.android.unified.lite).
IIRC you'll also need to use Gmail's mobile website to download the attachment... the native Gmail app has problems previewing wav's in third-party media players.
I had the same problem on my SGS II (MagicJack files). Use PowerAMP media player, works everytime.
One of the biggest selling points of the Archos G9 for me, was the ability to play all kinds of filetypes through the video and music players. I was somewhat disappointed though, when I found out that I had to manually browse through my external storage to play the files I wanted to play. My external hdd is set to autobackup my laptop so that means finding files is folder hell. I was wondering if there is any way to get my files to show up so that I could scroll through them just as if they had been on the internal storage. This would make things so much more convenient. Any suggestions?

Well I kinda want the default player because of its priceless mkv support. I've noticed in the file browser you can highlight an internal media folder (dcim, Music, Video) and select options in Media Share. These are the only folders that you can set share types, which I assume includes the folder into the media library. Maybe there is some way that we could give other folders special permissions to allow them to be shared like these.
I have exactly the same problem. Had in mind to use the G9 as multimedia devices streaming music and video from my NAS to my TV. I had expected that the G9 had native support for Network drives, but it doesn't. At least I could not find it. The best alternative I found is BubbleUPnP. This app detects my Synology NAS and I can start any video from it. For Video you can select which player to use. Music is played with the build in player, which I don't like. I prefer PowerAmp. An app that brings a kind of XBMC to a tablet is what I need.
Does anyone knows how to play Divx/Xvid videos trought DLNA default app ?
i have an home server (debian Wheezy) that offers some services.
I have MiniDLNA .24 Daemon on it, that permits my Samsung TV to play videos trought DLNA service.
I had an i9000 by Samsung that could also play videos or music trought DLNA.
Now with Xperia S i have a DLNA app by default (connected devices), with this app i can browse my DLNA resources but once i try to view a resource (jpg, mp3, avi or mkv) i always get an "Unrecognized Format" error...
why ?
is there a better DLNA browsing APP ?
i found BSPlayer, with that i can browse my SMB share on the server and play the media, but it's NOT DLNA... it uses SMB shares, that i would like to switch off sice i didn't have Windows machines at home...
Neither I could play videos and music from my synology NAS, but I could with BubbleUPnP...
It seems the default DLNA app does not recognise any alternative players on the phone.
I installed moboplayer app (for Divx/...) and UPnPlay app. UPnP works similar to the default DLNA app, but when you select a Divx video it allows you to choose where to play it, for example using moboplayer.
You can even push the video to a DLNA player, like WD live TV or DLNA compatible TV.

Thanks, i got mad trying to define a working DLNA profile with serviio instead of MiniDlna for this phone, but it seems like the default player only work with MP2 streams (DVD format) even the x264 didn't work... it's really bad...
i will try UPnPlay, and if it works i will throw away serviio and restore MiniDlna wich is better for my Samsung TV and my sanity
Try 'VPLAYER'.....
I use mediaHouse as "browser" instead, and Vplayer to play the movies...

Hello everyone,
I need some help with an issue I have while using Android on my Xperia U (Rooted, CM 9.1). I have a very big music collection on two different Windows 7 computers, consisted of mp3, mpc, flac, ape, alac files - in many cases with a CUE sheet (flac/ape + cue). Structure is always Artist/Album/(CDXX)/Files. I have a high-res folder.jpg within every separate folder. Using Foobar2000 to play everything while on the PC.
I am looking for a way to play my music on Android. At the moment, I am using ES File Explorer to connect to the LAN share, and then play the music with the integrated ES player. But - no album art, no cue sheet support etc. I also use BubbleUPnP to stream video/audio from Universal Media Server installed on both computers. But I would like to use plain network sharing if possible, not DLNA.
I see that PowerAMP for example has all the file support I need, but I am not sure if it can read network shares. Is this possible? I also installed andLess as a player with lossless and cue support, but only for local files.
I am opened to any solution that will allow me to play my music with the format support same or similar to what Foobar2000 offers on Windows.
Please provide your insights/solutions to this problem.
Thank you and all best.
