Before almost nobody pay attention for this program. :)

After testing this for 5 min...

-Takes forever to load my 420 songs folder (30+ seconds) -- comparing to GSPlayer and Coreplayer's speedy 3-5 seconds.
-Processor at 520 when playing -- totally unacceptable, especially when I saw 208MHz on MP3 LCD off as marginal. I don't want to drain my battery BEFORE class starts.

This one goes to the Uninstall process I am afraid.

I'm with you Duwenbasden, it looks nice but it's a crock for the amount of CPU it uses.

I admittedly spent about 10 minutes trying to figure out how to get it to lower the cpu usage before sacrificing it to the great god Oon-in-Staal it so I didn't see how it would handle my playlist of 400+ songs, by the sound of it I'm happier not bothering.

It looks pretty if you want something to look good on your dashboard or next to your stereo, but the moment you try and make it portable then power becomes a premium and IMO it's not the pretty players that work, it's the one that uses the least power... TCPMP wins, or iPlay would if I could try it for more than 5 minutes.

Lower the spectrum update rate. That should lower the CPU usage.

Yes, Duwenbasden and Mokubai, you both are right - with these measurements, I've forgotten to set the CPU speed to fixed (all my past measurements used fixed CPU speeds); this is why I haven't noticed the player indeed runs, in general, the CPU at, in general, two steps higher speed setting (for example, 416 MHz as opposed to 208 MHz) than WMP / Conduits Pocket Player and three times higher CPU speed than iPlay.

The fixed results are as follows:

On the A12 x51v,

at a fixed 208 MHz, CPU usage (at this low speed, the CPU usage difference becomes highly visible):
WMP 10: 24%
WinVibe: 28%
iPlay 4.x: 11%
Pocket Player 3.01: 27%

at auto speed, the player runs the CPU at the following speed (in MHz):
WMP 10: 208
WinVibe: 416
iPlay 4.x (without using the built-in CPU applet to set the CPU speed): 104
Pocket Player 3.01: 208

(The CPU usage introduced by actively monitoring the CPU speed / loads (through Services.exe) is 1.5 (1.8 with enabling the load monitoring) at 208 MHz and is, therefore, negligible, as far as the test results are concerned. That is, it's highly unlikely the additional, at 312 MHz, ~1.3% CPU usage caused by monitoring is causing the CPU to switch to 416 MHz from 312.)

Thanks for pointing out the mistake!

Hi all, I down loaded and installed this program(vga version). It won't work with wma files. In settings the wma is grayed out. Any fix for this.

Thanks
Rich

Same thing I was looking at. It says WMA compatible but my WMAs are not even showing.

Guys, check out http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=146980 for more info on CPU usage.

Does this thing work on WM5? It looks like it's only support WM2003

Works fine on my X51v. I just need to find some skins for it.
