I´ll drop ConduitsPocket Player (that is very beautiful and finger friendly, and the lybrary is perfect)  and buy Core Player.</p> <p>I´ve made my own tests here: battery lasts only 6 hours running pocket player but 10 hours on TCPMP!!! </p> <p> </p> <p>(Axim X51v @power save 208Mhz, blank screen, 1100mAh.

It's not that important to me, so I take your word for it regarding Phantasm.</p> <p>I know the whole story about iPlay and Phantasm. It is a mystery to me too. I am blocked at home but not from work. I also live in Europe, in one of your neighbouring countries. But I don't care about the blockout and his tone in these threads as long as I could get a good piece of software for myself. I also have Pocket Player, which is pretty good. But currently I mostly use Phantasm.</p> <p> </p> pubDate Wed, 06 Aug 2008 15:13:35 -0500 dc:creator trondis23 guid false comment 134123 at http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms/blog/9/audio-player-cpu-and-therefore-power-usage-benchmark-update#comment-134122 <p>1.  You're right - I'll update the chart.</p> <p> </p> <p>2. acbTaskMan. Generally, Phantasm Music Player has very good CPU usage comparable with the best titles in this regard.I didn't include it because it's simply not available for the majority of the users (including me). See my earlier-linked stories about how hard it was for me to get a trial version just because I happen to be in Europe, and most of Europe is simply banned from their site. The developer didn't even bother answering my mails; I would even have bought his stuff as I've did with several other players incl. Pocket Music, Resco Audio Recorder and CorePlayer.</p> pubDate Wed, 06 Aug 2008 13:40:38 -0500 dc:creator Werner Ruotsalainen guid false comment 134122 at http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms/blog/9/audio-player-cpu-and-therefore-power-usage-benchmark-update#comment-134110 <p> Hi!</p> <p> </p> <p>I just wondered why Conduits Pocket Player has n/a for FLAC support. This player supports FLAC, APE, MPC and other formats via plugins available from the website.</p> <p>I also wonder how you benchmark the CPU usage. Which program do you use? I would like to test how Phantasm Music Player comes out.</p> <p> </p> pubDate Sun, 03 Aug 2008 07:51:30 -0500 dc:creator trondis23 guid false comment 134110 at http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms
