Renicing won't help much. Your app gets frozen, and audio gets routed into nirvana whenever Maemo5 feels like it. Nokia did really mess this up.

The only reason I'd buy a new mp3 player, is if it contains something no other media player has, Like:

1) press vol button = Skip / Prev Track
Long presss = increase / decrease vol
camera button = Play / pause / long press = stop

2) Dam good but simple gui

3) low cpu consumption

4) doesn't stutter when using multiple apps

5) good codec support

6) Equaliser

7) Ability to raise the "dB." The loudnesss of the speaker. Just like the s60 ogg player does.

The only way to make the player use less cpu would be if it was able to bypass completely pulseaudio and gstreamer.

PulseAudio might be good for the desktop but for a portable device it's just way too much of a ressource hog. Adding to that the fact that the gstreamer backend is slower than the xine backend (at least on PC) that gives you a bad mix for a poor 600Mhz mobile cpu
