Default VisualIT Releases Simple Tunes

http://www.visualit.co.uk/simpletunes.htm

"Finally, a straight forward MP3 player for your Pocket PC. Simple Tunes has been designed from the outset to be simple to use, leaving you to enjoy your music. No more using the stylus, learning complicated options, or getting confused by play lists. Just browse to your music and play. Or plug in a storage card with your favourite music and away you go."

Of course, I think a screenshot speaks volumes:

:soapbox:

You know what really cracks me up? People want an iPod so bad that they disguise their pocketpc to look and function like one to play MP3's.

Come on man, if you want an iPod, buy one! If you want to play MP3's, play MP3's, but this make believe stuff is just so silly already!

Jeez...

I smell a lawsuit coming... (or at least a cease and desist order from you know who)

Especially considering that Apple attempted to patent the UI after that last MP3 player came out.

They ain't playin' games no more.

On top of which didn't Apple already kill off the very similiar pPod/pBop software by Starbrite Solutions a month or so ago.

That's exactly the "other MP3 player" I was talking about.

Yep, Apple is protecting it's intellectual property folks. Let's have a pool on how long it takes this one to disappear ;-)

Another cease and desist is coming? I can feel it. That "UI" looks awfully fishy... 8O

Yeah, this one doesn't look long for the world.

Not to mention that $19 seems pricey for a basic player, even if it is far less costly than a real iPod...

In general I really quite like the UI and features. I got a copy of pPod before it was closed down and found that very user friendly and this seems to be pretty much the same. The big minus for me is that it can only handle MP3s. Most of my songs I have encoded as either WMA or ogg tracks for the smaller size. If this software could handle either of these formats (and if Apple lets it live ) then I think I could see myself buying it even at $19.00.
