HELP SUPPORT

    Everything was self explanatory. I had no problems figuring out the basic playback features and quickly picked up on the more advanced options. A full user guide is available online here.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

    Pocket Player 2.72 should run on all recent versions of Windows Mobile, including Smartphone. It will use up 1MB of your storage RAM and 4MB of your program RAM. It ran well on my Axim x51v on full power mode, and a little sluggish on normal and power save modes, so the more processor speed you have the better, especially if you want to use the visualizations.

BUGS AND WISHES

   
The only bug I found was that the playlist will refresh on top of itself while scrolling. You have probably seen this in a lot of music players for your PC such as Winamp. This tends to happen when you have a large playlist, and is not a large issue. The two wishes I have for this program include native M4A support and and video playback. For some reason people create these M4A files that nothing will play. And as far as the video playback goes, this program does music so well, I would trust them to handle my videos too.

PURCHASING

   
Pocket Player is available for a reasonable $19.95 here. If you want to try it out, they have a 30 day demo available.

OVERALL IMPRESSION

    I am in love with this program. If you listen to music on a regular basis on your Windows Mobile device, this is easily worth dropping an Andrew Jackson for (that’s $20 USD). If you like to tweak your audio and customize your player, and don’t mind the lack of M4A support, this is an excellent value.
