Hi there.

I was wondering if there is any music player that supports mp3, ogg, mod, it, xm, s3m and many other formats, if posible without problems (choppy noise, drops, slow playing...).

Actually i'm using "PSP Media Center v0.87", and it needs some fixes in mod and ogg, also a random play should be great, but seems that it's actually a dead project :(

Thanks for your time and help.

peace.

Hmm... why do you want a player for them. Can't you just convert them and play it through the xmb? (not familiar w/ those formats)

well, mod files (mod, it, xm, s3m...) are a tipe of file with some similarity to midi files, but with sound instruments embended inside, so they sound the same no matter what kind of sound board you may have.
Another point is that a 6 minute track are around 100Kb - 300Kb, while in MP3 format would be around 4Mb.
And converting more than 50 tracks... well, if i can avoid that, cool.

Anyway thanks for the tip, but i will keep searching.

I have been waiting for a descent multifomat player ever since I bought the PSP. Would be so cool to sleep with a playlist of .mod, .spc, etc running (and stopping at the end).

Peace, fun, psp, music and emus to run. :thumbup:

It's not a good idea to unnecessarily transcode files. MOD and similar files have been explained, but Ogg is a container for Vorbis. Vorbis is an open source audio codec that delivers better compression quality than MP3, but it's still a lossy codec. Transcoding it would mean losing lots of quality (even if it was just MP3-MP3), plus time to convert them all.
