Default Media player with specific features needed

Does anyone know of a media player that can handle multiple audio streams?

What about 1 that can show embedded MP3 lyrics?


I have many videos that have 2 audio streams, 1 English and 1 Spanish. I would like to be able to switch between them like I do on my iPhone. I'm really looking forward to dumping the iPhone, but currently have to carry it around with me along with the Desire in order to use it as a video player.

I also listen to Podcasts in foreign languages that have the transcripts embedded in the MP3s using the standard lyrics tags. The iPhone shows these "lyrics" as the track is played, but the Desire can't do this. Given that the audio is in a foreign language it's handy to be able to see a transcript in case you don't quite catch a word.

I've also noticed that most players, including the standard one, don't pick up "none standard" genres. All my stuff that is in Spanish has the genre set as "Spanish" which isn't a "standard" MP3 genre. As such the Desire shows them up as "unknown genre". They are tagged as such as my media center at home supports free text as a genre so it makes them easy to filter them out of the music listing when the wife's using it (she doesn't speak Spanish). The iPhone also supports this free text genre and doesn't have a problem.

Thanks
Dae.

I can't find an app called wikitunes.

Do you mean tunewiki? If so, I have that installed but it doesn't pickup the "lyrics" that are embedded in the MP3 but instead tries to download them off the Internet. Since I am listening to a paid subscription podcast the "lyrics" aren't available online since they are embedded in the MP3s. Tunewiki, however, won't show them for some reason.
