Perfect music player for n95

[foxy123]

Well, it's sort of rant. I just can't find a perfect music player for my n95 8gb. The default player is not bad but... It's always 'but'. It does not support ogg and flac formats and a lot of my music collection is in those formats. I'm just too lazy to convert it. Also its album art management is not the best. I hate embedded covers.
OggPlay supports ogg obviously but does not display album covers. Strands social player has a good album art management but again does not support ogg and flac. Core player is not free.

Do you really look at the album art? At first I cared about it too and embedded about 100 covers with mp3tag, until I realized I really never look at them. About the exotic formats, I long ago realized that it is not a good idea to use other formats than wma and mpeg-based unless you want to be converting all the time for use with other devices.

well, as a matter of fact I do, especially when I am choosing what to listen. Regarding formats I just get used to ogg. I've got a soft spot for open source stuff.

No music player is perfect on the N95 but I find the default one the best.

I find that too, it does the job for me.

you can try LCG jukebox, it says on the website that it supports ogg.


but i'm not too impressed by it, the UI is too complicated.

the main reason i don't like the default player is the shuffle function. i have 200 songs in my phone, but the shuffle function always plays the same 10. so i turned it off and just listen to my songs alphabetically. at least they all get played. i still like it better than LCG jukebox though

Thanks, but it looks like one has to pay to unlock album art functions.

The default player is alright barring the ability to listen ogg files. The problem is that I use it to listen to audiobooks and usually have something on pause their. So I have to use anothe player if I want to listen to some music :(

I wonder if you'll see more programmes for symbian as it has become open source.
