Am I the only one who likes WMP?
I'll shut up now :hide:

But again, the overall quality for WMP isn't that good, in fact, it's quite terrible when run through a nice speaker system. So you don't get the full benefit of higher bitrates anyway. I bet if y ouwere to test the files out on PC the resutls would be quite different, but I believe part of the problem is that WMP is very hard to encode and decode in a limited app like that, when you're dealing with a desktop app, it makes little difference, but since romspace is a premium, it is hard for them to make WMP top notch.
As for me, I like PocketMusic's UI, however, I use it all folded up, EQ windw I don't show, and the top window I fold. I also have a pointer directly to pocket music from the taskbar, and from hardware button, and folded uip so that it is just the control butotns on top (time, buttons, menu icon, and [-] [_] [X]) with the name of the song playing right below, it takes up 24 pixels worth of real estate on my screen, the same as one menu bar in an application. That means it is very very fast to open up with a click of a hardware button, signal to do something, then switch back, usually without even getting the stylus involved. however, if I need to, I can open up playlist to fullscreen.
