Why is it so hard to write a MP3 player with playlist support?

[rincon]

man, i've been looking forward to a mp3 player that supports playlist ever since i got my nr. still no sign of one appearing :(

yeah i've tried MP3 Manager but it's a very cumbersome solution and crashes if the album has many titles. also the albums doesn't launch under Zlauncher.

ajvmp3 looks promising. and they have promised playlist support...........eventually maybe.

my needs are simple. i dont need skinning, visualization, fancy id1, id2 compatibility etc. just a simple, easy to use mp3 player with playlist? too much to ask?

any chance the audio player that ships with sj33 supports playlist? knowing sony, i think, fat hopes :(

I hear you, man...I tried MP3 manager, but the remote isn't fully functional with it (it stops it the first time I press a button, no matter what button it is).

Skinning...same thing...why? The majority of the time I'm using it, it's either in "HOLD" or I'm using another program.

Just wanted to tell you that I feel your pain.

The Audioplayer2 of the NX has a kinda weird playlist support: You have to use a filemanager to locate the m3u file in the palm/program/msaudio dir. Now you can edit that using a standart text editor and Audioplayer will upon next launch use the modified playlist

why is sony making things so difficult? i mean, if they can write an audio player app, how hard is it to tell it "ok, read from the playlist number 3 and play mp3 in this order?" :)

they'll probably wait till NZXRV70vg before releasing a AudioPlayer v 16.9.2 that supports playlist.

btw, i read the mp3 player that comes with Acer S60 has playlist support but had no luck searching for it.
