Best E2 MP3 playing software?

by Bill Veik Sep 15, 2005 7:07AM PDT

I have been using Real Player and Dio Player and I am unhappy with both. Dio automatically lists songs alphabetically, Real shuts off after 3 minutes (Palm Shutdown settings) even if the screen moves.

Alternatives? Thanks!

Bill

I use RealPlayer for Palm as this no frills MP3 player works out for me, but the version that came on my T3 CD. Didn't think the improvements were worth an extra 200KB of space.

There's no way to set RealPlayer for Palm to 'never turn off screen' in the latest version?

Can't offer any opinions on these, since again, i only use Realplayer for music on my T3, but they do have Demos so give 'em a whirl:

SHAREWARE MP3 players
-Aero Player
-Pocket Tunes
-Busker

SHAREWARE VIDEO PLAYERS
These play videos but also do MP3s and other audio files, like Windows Media Player and Winamp 3.0 or later for Windows
-Kinoma Player 3.x
-mmPlayer

FREEWARE VIDEO PLAYERS
-TCPMP - aka the Core Pocket Media Player

If possible, let us know which one u switched to and why. Good luck

I have the E2 and use RealPlayer and my screen will shut off after two minutes, but my music will keep playing. Does RealPlayer shut down at the same time that your E2 does?
