I have WMA files that are tracks from live concerts. It gets really annoying that the Windows Media Player (on my iPaq 2210) pauses between files. There must be a way for a player to read ahead and not pause!

Is there a hack for that in WMP? Or is there another music player that anyone can recommend?

Thanks a bunch.

From their website (http://www.pocket-tunes.com/), it seems like Pocket Tunes only has a PalmOS app. Am I looking at the right one?

The just-released Pocket Music 3.0 (http://www.pocketmind.com/pmfp.htm) supports cross-fading and gapless output as well. The new UI is much more useable without a stylus as well. They've definitely taken a few pointers from PocketPlayer.

I second Pocket Player. Excellent application!

I had to wait a couple of weeks or so, but Today Player (http://www.todayplayer.com/) is back (in beta) now. It's gapless, and best of all, it's FREE!

Apparently the author took it offline due to come co-dec legal issues. The UI is not very easy to use with only fingers. But it'll be my choice for now.
