Music players for PalmOS
A few weeks ago we brought you a roundup of 5 free music players for Windows Mobile devices. Now it looks like The Gadgeteer has gone and posted a pretty decent review of three music players for PalmOS, but they've taken a look at the top-of-the-line premium software packages.Gadgeteer Mark Adkins took Aeroplayer 5.5, Busker MP3 Player 1.37, and Pocket Tunes 4 out for a spin. The verdict?
Aeroplayer is great for a cheap option. For $15, you can get a version that handles just MP3 or just AAC files. For a bit more, you can get both, and it's skinnable.
Busker lacks skins, but has a prettier default interface. It can also connect to the internet to download album info and art.
Pocket Tunes is the most powerful (and expensive of the bunch, with the Deluxe version running $38), offering advanced features such as a sleep timer, album art, AAC and WMA support, bookmarks and crossfading.
There doesn't appear to be nearly as many freeware alternatives for Palm as there are for Windows Mobile, but if you're looking for a no-cost replacement for the built in MP3 player on your Palm, you might want to check out DioPlayer or TCPMP for PalmOS.

What an ironic twist. Just a couple of years ago I had to decide between WinMob and Palm. At the time, WinMob as a platform tended to have more pay-to-play apps, and Palm was abundant with the freeware. Now the tables have turned, as Microsoft has always understood how to support developers. Palm, for their part, have instead decided make the OS a moving target (never mind selling it off!). If you go today and try to buy 4 different models, you get 4 different versions of the OS. Brilliant!
