PocketPC MP3 Player Roundup: A Close Competition


As long as we're talking about Music download software then we should mention MP3 players for your PPC.
PDA Buyers Guide has a review of the most popular MP3 players. I have never used anything other than Windows Media player. Should I use something different? Do you use something different? What are you using?
Excerpt from the article:
we've put four MP3 players to the test against Windows Media Player too see who—if anyone—can stand against the built-in standard. We'll be comparing:
• Microsoft Windows Media Player
• Cardinal Info Tech withMP3
• Conduits Pocket Player
• PocketMind PocketMusic Bundle
• TodayPlayer
Conclusion
Compared to the competition, Windows Media Player is just too scaled-down. Still, many PPC users are minimalists—they don't want to have something installed unless they're really going to use it. For those users, the choice is clear: Today Player—the one program with the smallest footprint and the smallest price (Free!)—is the way to go. It contains most of the fuctions of the “big boys” without the space concerns.
For users, however, who desire as many music options and gadgets as possible, PocketMind's PocketMusic Bundle nudges ahead of Conduits Pocket Player. Pocket Player gets points for its smaller size and crossfading option, but in the end, PocketMusic is simply easier to use.

I have the withMP3 player and it was great when it first came out. But now it's getting a bit dated. With almost all if not all of the other players allowing for skins, and some of the players providing streaming capabilites, withMP3 has some catching up to do.
Currently I am using gsplayer which plays mp3s well, streams shoutcast and you "Freebie seekers" will love the price

What do you get...

What do you get with gsplayer that you can't get with WMP? Other than shoutcast support...

Darn it.

Darn it...I was hoping there was something "really cool" that would cause me to say "Oh, I NEED that" and I was going to install it...
