Best Music Player?

UncleGuito · 07-18-05, 01:35 PM

I have been going through the different music apps, and so far I am debating as to use Pocket Player or Pocket Music. I mainly like Pocket Player more, but the only thing that keeps me from uninstalling Pocket Music is the today plugin (the one that comes with Pocket Player is really ugly)

Are there any other good music programs that are commercial other than these and Resco Recorder? And is there a way to change the skin on the Pocket Player today plugin?

I would highly recommend GSPlayer. It's not commerical...it's even better...it's Free! Started using this a while ago and never looked back. Blows away Pocket Music and Pocket Player.

PocketMusic keep crashing for me. =l. I gotta admit the GUI is very nice but since it crashes.. =\.
GSPlayer is the way to go. Go go Open source. =D

yea pocketmusic used to crash for me too, it closed itself every 1 second into the song until i installed it on the sd card, now it works perfectly fine

I use Pocket Music since I paid for it some time ago. Version 3.6 is pretty stable now ( I have not had a single lock-up or crash ) and they have even fixed the bugs I submitted. I think the main thing for me in choosing PocketMusic was the ability to use WinAmp Classic skins. For the most part, it functions similar to WinAmp.

IMO. It is the player with the best interface and functions. It is worth a second look if you tried versions < 3.2.

There is a free version, but I am not sure how it differs from the pay version.

I have the 3.7 Bundle paid version and it works fine

Pocket Player can use Winamp 2 skins too, and they are a bit easier to use, but some of the buttons are disabled on the skins, whereas they work in Pocket Music

I guess I got to update PM. :)

Yes. I forgot about Pocket Player. I tried the trial version for a little while but decided not to buy it since I already owned the paid version of Pocket Music. I tried Pocket Player v 2.5 and I think it was missing the skip feature via hard buttons I got used to in PM.

I use GSPlayer and highly recommend it. Having had so many crashing problems with PocketMusic I cannot recommend it at all.

Yep GSPlayer is very nice. There is a VGA version too if you own a X50v.
