The one that comes with the N900 is OK but is there a better and more complete alternative?

Great question, I've read that the built-in player will be patched in the next firmware release... then hopefully it'll become stable with internet radio feeds... currently it switches feeds randomly...

There are a few very good players out there, but they do lack in a cool GUI. So I'm sticking with my default player for now. :/

But do check out Media Box!

It depends on what you want. I happen to like the built in player a lot, but it has two features lacking that I would love for it to have.

1.- A built in equalizer

2.- The ability of building a play list by selecting files from the file system and not just from the tracker meta-file data.

The first one is basically solved by a third party program called MAFW Equalizer. (Unfortunately it is CPU intensive and therefore degrades performance and battery life.)

Number two is partially solved by a media player called symfonie. It allows one to browse into a folder and select the files within to play them. It comes with a built in equalizer. However, it has no concept of a playlist. So its usefulness is limited.

Between these two programs I do rather well until the perfect player comes along.

While some of 3rd party media players are good the default one with different views and all is clearly number one for me.

The thing that i really want it to have is portrait. Because for me music player and phone are two things that i really need to have that portrait mode.

Equalizer would be nice, but happily my Denon in-ears that are a bit bass heavy sound great on N900. Thought i'm getting new in-ears next week and it could be another story.

For the default music player? It got it already. In music player tap the top bar and go to playlists, go to newly added. It will show 30 newest songs added.

i have designed an alternative interface for Media Player






I don't able to introduce a decent scroll bar and the options to:
- Sleeper function
- Start visualization of the Symbian S60.

What dou you think?
