I've used this program for 9 months or so. I use it exclusively to listen to pocasts since it provides variable speed playback. Nothing like TWIT and BOL playing at 150 to 175% of normal speed. Yes, Molly rants can be hard to follow at that speed.

Can't recommend this program enough!!

How well does it work for video? I really can't seem to get TCPMP to play my mpeg4 videos at all and I'm hoping this might be the answer.

To answer my own question, I downloaded the trial and it does not appear to support MPEG4. Darn. Seems like a nice app though, but definitely feels like it's a music player first with video a distant second.

When I first started using Pocket Player, I had a tough time with it. Any time I launched it, it brought my Axim to a crawl for several minutes. Then I made some adjustments to the default library settings and disabled the automatic library update feature, and now it runs just fine.

My only issue is that it won't scale video to fit the screen, regardless of the settings.
