Couldn't find a specific thread about this for the N900...

I was wondering if there are any good mp3 player for the N900 besides the built-in media player? (or can the original media player be modified with a different equalizer setting?)

I know about Mediabox and Canola but I want something lighter, simpler and with a proper equalizer.
(Something similar to the old Winamp)

Let me know if I missed some awesome app.

ohh. that's pretty much what I'm looking for.
Has anyone tried it on the N900?

EDIT: Found this thread about it. But still not much outcome.

hm... it's nice to know that the basics are working but it's missing a proper GUI..
you can make some icons with shortcuts for controlling xmms2 and displaying the current song details as well...
but i will stuck to the default player since anyone develops a nice GUI for this app

I completely feel you on that, you probably mean some thing like this http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/youamp/ which is available for maemo4 (N810/N800) I hope its ported to N900 soon.

Is anyone working on a new music player for N900 currently?
or is anyone thinking of porting Youamp?

btw, I tried ukmp and it shuts down before it shows the thumbnails.
Seems it's a bit buggy?

I just have to chime in and say the standard Media Player sucks if you have more than 3 songs..its impossible to find the artist or song I want quickly.

You know that you can type the name of the song or artist or combination of both in the song list and it will show up. Or you can make your own playlist, here is a good tutorial if you don't know how to make your own playlist.
