SephZero and Team Shadow have released an update to Simple Amp, Simple Amp Beta 2. This audio application is one of the best looking MP3 players on the PSP to date. The GUI update looks awesome and the graphic EQ is refreshing. Fully featured as in our previous teaser, the new MP3 player is hot off SephZero's hands and into yours.

Features:

    - Reading of files contained in ms0:PSPMUSIC (no subdirectories at the moment)
    - launch mp3 files up to 12MB
    - scrolling animated filelist
    - Show Time
    - Switch to Prev./Next. Song
    - Runs at 333Mhz Cpu mode

Tested with mp3 files at 128, 160, 192, 256, and 320 bitrate.
This MP3 Player is quick and functional, not to mention the nice interface. You can basically considering scrapping whatever MP3 player you are currently using for this one. Even if you run a shell this MP3 player runs more smooth and has the "Simple" features that you will need while on the go. So what are you waiting for, check it out.

If you run into any bugs or want to check out other skins for Simple Amp head over to the Team Shadow Forums. Thanks for the heads up, SephZero.

 » Need a useful Mp3 Player

I've got my PSP mounted in my car as my only means for playing Mp3 music, and for that specific use the XMB Mp3 player is worthless. DJSP is the only Mp3 player that gets the job done for me right now.

Does this work with VBR MP3s?

 » Need real playlist feature

The best thing you could add to this program besides subdirectory support (which you could let us choose) is playlist support a la winamp or similar PC players. Let us generate our own lists of songs on the fly via PSP and shuffle them.

Looks good, but hopefully you'll see this and consider my suggestion. Good work though.

 » crashes psp on previous song

tried it out, stuck two songs on, skipped to song 2 just fine but crashed psp when i skipped back to one. also doesnt have fast forward feature that the default player has.

otherwise great program

   by Anonymous Coward (Unregistered) - 2006-04-20

also seek functions resume/bookmarking wouldbe great for podcast (sorta like PMPmod)

but since max size is 12MB, wouldn't be practical.

 » MP3's

you jerks still use mp3s and not atrac3? lol, what a waste of time, except for maybe 1.5 users that want a new front end for their mp3's. having to load the eloader then the program to listen to something you could already listen to with out all that nonsense. playlist, make a friggin folder with the dang songs you want in it. DUH! want to shuffle different tracks from different folders? why, put them all in one twit. you people have no minds of your own..........

 » Unimpressed

all of these programs people are making are useless, new shells, new mp3 players, completely useless if you want to impress me make a universal video player

 » 333 Mhz Mode?

Umm, no offence, but why is it running at 333 Mhz mode? I would be suprised if it really needed the extra power as other mp3 players run at the default speed just fine. Also, running at 333 Mhz takes more battery life and if possible it would be better to run it at default.

However, beautiful player, very nicely designed.

 » Whats the difference ???

Whats the difference between this and the default psp mps player thats in the XMB????

   by lordroba - 2006-04-20
 » ughhhh....

I like the way this is designed, but i'm not impressed with the fact that there is some slowdown in the songs when this thing is running at 333Mhz. You notice it especially when you have a song with low vocals. I realize that this is still a Beta, so it would be nice to see some work done in improving the speed before a final/next version is released. Other than that, keep up the good work:P

 » lmao at this application

 » Features

There are only two things that the built-in mp3 player is missing. 1. CUE Sheet support. 2. Nice visualisations.

One of those 2. is not that important. Can you guess which one? Clue: 2.

If this app can satisfy these needs then I'll use it, until then, pointless.
