Hi guys, I have just installed Pocket Player, which I am happy with, however being an imate Jam owner I of course want the best!

So before I part with my money and purchase one, what would you guys say the best software available is?

Thanks

For me, it's Pocket Player Plus. The Auto Screen Off features saves me lots of battery time and the alarm feature is just as great as well.

I don't know..
Had some troubles with my SDcard drooping data and Pocketmusic. Maybe it happened only to me?..
Think WMP is doing the job oki.. miss some customization but its installed default so i think its waste of space not using it.

I second romix's suggestion. I find that mortplayer fits my bill the best, Pocketplayer was sluggish on my O2 mini and WMP couldn't play some of my own mp3s encoded with LAME but okie on the others... :?:

I have found BetaPlayer to be the best. Not very flashy - but very stable and has all teh features you could want. Plays mp3, DivX and ogg among others.

I had the same problems with pocket music, installed on SD. The solution is to disable the today plugin, the you don't get the annoying error message. I guess it has somthing to do with the delay when data is on the SD.

Now it works great... set "turn off display" to 5 sec or whatever you prefere, and lock hardwarebuttons and you are good to go.

Likewise. The free players such as Mortplayer and GSplayer do just as good a job as the commercial ones. Instead of wasting it on eye candy, spend your $20 on another SD card (512MB is only $29) so you can carry more tunes or movies!

I avoid installing POcket Music on the card since I use Pocket Music as an alarm clock. THe delay in detecting the SD card causes this type of malfunction. I like Pocket Music and aside from getting Winamp 2.x skins, it is really good.

Can you use Pocket Music as an alarm clock? How do you do that? Would appreciate any explanation... (And what version do you use?)

Cheers!

I can never understand the obsession with skins and pretty looking front ends. All they do is hog memory. You can't see them most of the time as your screen is off to save the batteries and give you more music. It is all about the music, isn't it? So what's the point of wasting all that valuable resource as well as your money?

Your rationalism is perfect...but why should I buy an Armani dress, when I could wear a burlap bag? I could save money and resources...

Uhm...I still prefer PocketMusic...I have installed 3.2 bundle version on my SD. But when I run it after 5 or 6 selections, it freezes my S100 and I have to SoftR it. Did someone find the same problem?

Thax!

Hi
Pocket Music seems to have a lot of bugs...Here it is another one.

I tried to use its timer in order to have PM like an alarm clock in the morning...but, it didn't work. Infact when the process, setted and saved the night before, tried to resume PM (installed on SD), it went in error and a window error adviced me it couldn't run notification to program.
I have also tried to let it start throughout PocketZEN. Well, it started but after few seconds, music stopped. So I powered on my S100 to see what was happened, and I found PM on and, after few second, music started to play again. I realized it was like it had been freezed before I powered on S100...
