Does anyone know of an ipod style MP3 player for Pocket PC?

[CBarkAZ]

I have a 3150 with a PCMCIA expansion sleeve and Toshiba 5GB PCMCIA HD. I recently went on vacation and filled the HD with music files to listen to. I used WMP and also tried out a couple of MP3 player demos, but had a difficult time reading the small text on the B/W screen.

I was looking at an ipod one day at CompUSA and really liked the simplistic interface that Apple used. I thought that someone would have already found a way to impliment this on a Pocket PC, using both the touchscreen and the buttons to navigate. I've looked high and low but cannot find anything like this.

Has anyone seem anything like this?

Thanks,
Charles

i have never take a look in the iPod but I think maybe this is what you are looking for:

Thanks for the info. I've seen this one before, though. I'm actually looking for something that is mostly text based. For me the B/W screen isn't a good environment for the graphics used in most of the mp3 apps. They are geared for a color screen, not B/W.

Thanks again,

For Windows Media Player, try these:

I use the Tech Red version for it's big buttons and readable title window because I don't need a stylus to control the music. I also map my buttons to WMP so I can control play with the d-pad and 1-4 buttons.

The Classical Music skin may also work for you since it's black and white.

You can also write your own skins.


Alternatively, GSPlayer 1.85a is a full screen MP3 player that is also very skinnable and may have what you need.

Good luck!

In all good players you can map the buttons.
I hope this help.

I used powder blue skin on WMP, but I hated the look of it. (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...et/custom.aspx)
The only reason I chose it is because the time/track/title display larger than on any other skin.

If someone has found a skin w/ a large display that looks better, let me know.
