Large-buttons multimedia software

zachriggle · 07-14-05, 02:36 PM

I am wondering if anyone knows of any multimedia software (or Betaplayer skins ;-) with LARGE buttons and a LARGE display. I intend to use my x50v also as an audio player in-car (already have the RCA cables, swivel vent-mount, power, etc. hooked up). I have been using pPod, but I find that while it's fun software to show off... it's not all that usefule for while one is driving (big bass = bad for CD's. I can make CD's skip in the guys car next to me. Flash media solves this debacle.)

Also, is there any possibility that said application might be controllable via an IR remote (i.e. beam). My car stereo (JVC KD-G800) came with a remote, and I'd like to use that with my PDA (for almost complete handsfree-ness). I know that an Axim can be used in place of a remote, but I'm not sure that a remote can control one.

Thanks![I]

After deciding to check it out (I was deterred at first by the ugly skin displayed there... it's actually a lot better than it looks and has some *very* slick skins...), I have to say that...

THIS SOFTWARE ROCKS.

I would buy this software. Unfortunately I can't, so I'm debating whether or not to donate $10. Yes, it's that good.

do you use the default skin ?

PocketMusic from www.pocketmind.com has large buttons.

Yes, the default skin is what I'm using right now. However, it is *not* the skin that PocketPCFreeware.com shows it using. Also, there are a couple other nifty features. For example, Car Mode. Fullscreen and the buttons are bigger (thus easier to press while going down the road), and it displays the ID3 tags large enough to read from the back seat.

Another user here, FMO did did a nice write up on the various Free MP3 Players, what was great was one of the skins for MortPlayer has a larger easy to use interface. He fixed a few problems with the look of it, and I'm using it now. You can find the Free MP3 Player Observations
