PocketMusic 2.5 Released
PocketMind continues to improve their PocketMusic player. The newest version includes: - Landscape Mode with large buttons and controls added (see below)
- PocketMusic Today item added - control music playback directly from Today screen
- Greatly improved equalizer quality and performance on XScale processors
- Added option to continue playback from the last place in the last played file when PocketMusic starts
- Ability to scan all folders (local content) or selected folder on device to find all supported media files and add them to playlist
I've been looking forward to some of these -- especially the music resume and the folder scaning features.

now how about streaming mp3's over wifi at your local hot spot from your home server. I thought that "open url" was supposed to be supported in the upcoming version of Pocket Music. Bummer. Does anyone know?

I went to the web site, but there's no mention of how to 'upgrade' and when you download the package, the executable in the .zip says it's 2.0. I didn't try to actually run it, since I was worried I'd lose my 'bundle' status and actually be downgrading from 2.1.

Don,
If you own a copy of the bundle, you should have received an email with upgrade instructions. I got one, for what it's worth.

Does it still only accept winamp skins or is there a way to make custom skins only for PM (like Conduits pocket player)?

I see, but that is only valid for the landscape skin. I was wondering if it generally has its own skin format, since using winamp skins makes them a bit fuzzy.

Ah, i really am not sure on that one, you would have to ask the authors. I have noticed the degradation in resolution on winamp skins though!
