mPlayer has always been one of the best and most popular media players for Linux, and the open source app now makes its debut on mobile platforms in the shape of this Windows Mobile software.
Although it's a stripped-down version of the original it still represents a great way to enjoy music and video on your handheld.
One of the best things about mPlayer is its support for a varied array of different media formats.
As well as the ubiquitous handling of MP3, AVI, WMA and the like, the program lets you tune in to streaming media and recognises all types of Flash video.
In terms of its user interface, the program is a little simplistic, though not in a bad way. In fact, I much prefer to have a player that's light yet practical, rather than some bloated app with loads of features you don't need.
Hence, you get basic options for locating a file, opening a playlist or adding a URL, without impacting on your device's memory too much.
If you're looking for a slick and simple way to handle all types of media on your Pocket PC then look no further than mPlayer.
