MP3 Players

[Robkcoh]

Looking for a good MP3 player for TC that includes video, streaming audio, visulizations, etc.

Any suggestions?

good luck! My T C has such poor mono sound that it is just barely better than nothing.

Why no try MMplayer, its free to try (cheap to buy) and constantly being updated.

I really liked it so I bought a license and have received several great updates since. It can even play movies (and well)! I've actually watched Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers on it and whilst it is small I can fit the whole movie into approx 140-150Mb, just need a 25MB SD card.

A tool for shinking movies to fit MMPlayer on the palm is:

I have a T|C and a T|3. For MP3 on the T|C Pocket Tunes is the only one that does streaming. MMPlayer and Kinoma do video. MMPlayer does visualizations (albiet very minimally).

IMO if you want an MP3 player for the T|C, Pocket Tunes or AeroPlayer are the way to go. MMPlayer does not have acceptable sound on a T|C or T|3 with MP3's.

Don't get me wrong, I am not slamming MMPlayer. I am a registered user. It is great for video, I just think the audio is subpar at this point. The developer does seem to be actively improving on the product though and each successive release is better and better.

Kinoma does video and MP3, but you have to convert them. I only keep it around to get quicktime movies on my Palm. It is the only product that will do quicktime to Palm that I know of...

I dropped AeroPlayer from my lineup because Pocket Tunes does everything AeroPlayer does and more. The file sizes are comparable as are the cost of the program. They are both updated regularly, but Pocket Tunes does streaming which kicks a$$ on my WiFi network at home. At night in bed with the wife, I listen to RadioPrank.com and play solitaire before we go to sleep.

AeroPlayer has seemed to slow down on its updates lately. Don't know if that is a sign of a true slowdown or a quiet before a new release, but I have deleted it from both my Palms as Pocket Tunes does it all and more.

I was unable to discern a sound quality difference between Pocket Tunes and AeroPlayer on my T|C or my T|3. However, MMPlayer is noticably and IMO severly worse with MP3 sound quality then either Pocket Tunes or AeroPlayer.

Lastly, if cost is a factor, RealPlayer is free and works on the T|C as well. Of course you sell your soul to the devil for installing Real Products on your PC, but YMMV.

If I had to pick one, it would be Pocket Tunes.

Great to have choices, pick the one that meets your needs.
