Ok, I loaded every single media player available and Media Box is the one that stays on my machine. It lets me pick my music how I want, works with cover art and ID3 tags.

All the other players have problems I can't live with. Canola can't find oggs. UKMP simply can't play them except in short bursts, gmplayer's interface only plays one song at a time, the built in player is nice for video, but Media Box is way better. Kagu refused to run. I have to add mplayer back in to get some more of my video to run, but that should be no problem.

I have suggestions already.
-For one, a play list would be nice. Maybe check boxes on songs to play.

-The radio needs headphones to tune a radio station, but the standard radio desktop applet lets you pick speakers even while the headphones are plugged in. It would be nice to have this functionality in Media Box.

- The play button on the album covers should be visually distinct from the actual play button that plays the song. Maybe a black dot and when you open an album, it changes to a black circle of the same size? Like a radio button in HTML? Or........ Make it autostart the first song in the folder, then it would actually be a "play album" button.

Anyways, Media Box is far and away the best player on the tablet today.
