Manilla TouchFLO 3D Style Windows Media Player Skin

On October 19, 2008 By Adam Z. Lein In Pocketnow, Software

Since HTC’s TouchFLO 3D interface found on the Touch Diamond, Touch Pro, and Touch HD uses HTC’s own audio manager software to manage and play music libraries, they’ve left the default Windows Media Player alone in terms of skin customizations. The problem with that is HTC’s audio player is not a very good replacement for Windows Media Player. It doesn’t have library search capabilities, it doesn’t play videos and recorded TV shows synced over from …
