Well, I lived with it for a couple of days, and Mort Player has replaced GS Player as my favorite MP3 player. EQ and Effects work great. Net radio works great. It has a screen lock (black screen, turns off the touch screen). Sounds great. Everything works great, almost.

Also supports scrolling through playlists, another big plus for me since I have internet radio playlists, my PC hard drive playlists, and my SD card playlists.

EQ has a number of presets and lets you make more (I have one for my surround computer speakers, one for my Sony Fontopia canal phones, and another for my Koss "The Plug" canal phones).

Advantage for me over GS player is that GS takes forever to load my large playlists, and Mort loads them nearly instantly.

OK, the almost. It doesn't allow a button assignment for Button 6. And for the left/right d-pad buttons, it doesn't allow my preferred arrangement of fast forward and rewind. Not show stoppers for me. Reg hacks don't work to change those omissions.

[edit] I emailed "Mort" and he told me that fast forward and rewind are referred to as "Track Position", and that option is available. He's going to fix "Button 6".

The biggest plus is the large button arrangement (with landscape support). I can use this really well with my motorcycle gloves on while riding. The main buttons are located in the corners of the screen, which makes finding them with the screen dark a snap. Very nice job.

If you tried it before, it's like a whole different player now. Now he just has to get his Paypal link working so I can send in a donation.
