|
|
Hi guys, I've just bought an iPaq 4150, which is great, and I'm waiting for the cradle and proclip I ordered to be delivered. I've been thinking ahead, and wondering if anyone knows of a skin for Media Player which is basically big buttons for play/pause, skip, stop, etc., that would be easy to poke at whilst on the move. Or if you know of easy software to let me create my own Media Player skin, all the better!
Cheers! I've been learning loads from this forum.

Personally, if you're using MP3's mainly rather than WMA's then I'd use Vito SoundExplorer. This has reasonably sized buttons but it has the added feature of bookmarking so if you are listening to an audio book or radio station you have streamed, you can go back to where you were on another day by bookmarking the position. |

Thanks for replying, Dave. Sadly I've been using WMA for a while now, so I'm reluctant to go back to mp3s! It would be a whole lot of re-encoding. Being able to bookmark does sound really useful, though.
Since posting, I found a guide to creating WMP skins on Microsoft's site - however I think it's written for a slightly more adept audience, so I'm struggling a little! I shall perservere, however. |

I use this one, http://www.planetgriff.com/wmp_skin.php which has nice large buttons and a clear 'Now Playing' display. Great name too ;) _________________ Darren Griffin |

Cheers Darren, I'll go check it out.
I'm still open for suggestions, anyone...? |
