Not sure why this is worthy of FrontPage posting.

TCPMP - Video, music playlist horrid.
GS - Small and lean, fast, but not for finger mushing.
Mort - Beautiful and finger friendly, but slowest of all players.

I like the GSplayer, has worked great on my X50v so far, Tried pocketmusic and mortplayer and GSplayer wins for its features and sound.

I´ve tested this one in my x50v and, in my opinion is the very best player out there!!!! Thanks for the ones who created it!

I'd go with GSPlayer instead of TCPMP, because of the looks, but you just can't beat TCPMP for funtionality.

Oh, and I'd have to disagree with that... Mort is NOT the slowest. Vito Audioplayer is THE SLOWEST SLUG for my x50v, on both WM2003SE, and WM5. I click a button, and you'd be lucky if the tap shows up within the minuite. And thats not a hyperbole.

Tryed gsplayer for the first time, only problem is the file count in the upper left corner is only two numbers. Any way to make it show up to 999 at least?

I tried streaming my music over my home network and TCPMP played it MUCH better. With gsplayer there were actually small 1 sec pauses where it had to catch up. In TCPMP there are no such problems. I usually turn off my screen when using my x50v as a mp3 player/jukebox... Unless I am doing other stuff while listening to music, which by the way TCPMP player did/does much better/faster. I even thought sound quality was better in TCPMP, but both were great sound quality. TCPMP all the way!

If I sleep my Axim or stop GSPlayer to use something else w/o closing GSPlayer, then it locks up my Axim x51v or cripples it to where you have to soft reset.

--- Hope they fix this problem soon.

Having the same problem. My GSPlayer has been freezing on my lately, causing numerous soft resets :/

Anyone having GSPlayer problems?

Power comsuption problem with GSPlayer

I installed GSPlayer in my x50v and realize that it can output a much louder volume than Windows Media Player.

Then I use it in my car with a 12v power adapter plugged in. After a while, x50v shows bettery is very low. That's really odd since I plug in the power adapter and it shows charging all the time. To do a test, I stopped GSPlayer completely and run WM instead, this time x50v is charing even when playing songs.

Conclusion: GSPlayer sucks too much juice from power....I suspect if you have it stay in memory and turn off x50v, it is still using the power, because my x50v was in suspend mode much quicker than before.

GSPlayer will not play anything on a hard drive connected to my laptop. I tried to stream over the network but no go. TCPMP on the other hand works great over the network.
