Pocket Player 3.01 - awesome, again

I installed Pocket Player 3.01 on my DELL Pocket PC, and I have to say that I was pretty impressed by the improvement it has over the sluggish crappy version 2.8.

Most of the problem of the previous version of Pocket Player 2.8 seems to be gone in the version 3.01. For instance, the unresponsive interface problem seems to be gone. Besides the scanning time, the interface was very responsive. Instantly, Pocket Player regain it's status of the best music player on my Dell Pocket PC. In addition, there are several features that totally enhanced my music listening experience to a point which I almost stopped my urge of getting an iPod completely (unless Apple finally release the iPhone or the full 4 inch screen iPod that is).

For instance, the browse interface has the iPod kind of sliding was of easing in the menu. The best of all, though, it's the crossfade feature. I guess the feature was here before, but this time it works very well. And in fact for certain albums, like Beatles' Love album, this feature is such a critical factor to the whole listening experience, since all songs are supposed to be seamlessly blend together. However, I found out that if I choose "gapless", it actually cause some sort of volume jump between two song. So the best setting is actually turn on crossfade, but give it the smallest value you can pick, which is 0.5 second. After setting that, I can enjoy the Beatles Love album in the way that it was supposed to be sounded like.
