i tried the power player & didn't find it all that great.the basic player of the p910i is pretty loud even without an equalizer.
unless i'm really wrong,i remember seeing a screenshot of the p990i on bengal boy's site in which the mp3 player app even displayed album info,an image of the record's cover.

Hi, may I know which version of PowerMP3 have you tried? Version 1.x only adds EQ for MP3. With version 3.0, EQ supports MP3, AAC and OGG formats. With EQ, we are not only talking about loudness alone, but the ability to fine tune music to suit our own preferences; increase the bass, increase the vocals or how about increases the treble and fidelity?
Also, not forgetting the very useful feature of PowerMP3 that allows us to use the handsfree answering button to skip to the next song and kick start a song without touching the phone. The default music player is also being plague by the infamous "Refreshing" status everytime the moment app is started or when coming back to it when multitasking as it does not support proper playlist. With about 60 songs in one folder, it takes the default music app about 15 secs to "refresh" and this is something that many people are unable to accept.
Imagine this, I am listening to music now with the default music player. An SMS comes in, I switch over to messages to reply the sms. Then I go back to music player trying skip this song to the next as it does not support the handsfree button for performing this task. Bump, music stops, with "refreshing" status blinking for 15 secs. Music playsback after 15 sec. Bump, my calendar reminder kicks off reminding me of something and the music stops again. I have to take out the phone from the pocket and tap ok to the reminder alarm. But the music still stops there and will not continue. Handsfree button is not supported hence I have to unlock my phone and go back to default music player and again, "Refreshing" takes 15 secs. I guess after all these numerous "refreshings" are done, I have already reached either my office or my house!
Yes P990i's music player should be a killer app when released

Given the size of the P*** screens and all the other functionality the device offers, there will always have to be a degree of compromise of function and battery life, it is generaly accepted that the P*** series batterys are perhaps not as long lasting as we would like but all in all it does a good job for a muti function device.
If MP3 Player life is very important, try turning the device to "flight mode" and use SMAN to shut down any other apps whilst you listen to music?

Hi, I've been using PowerMP3 during flights and confirms that with flight mode, PowerMP3 lasted 5 - 6 hours max. Actually, I find this good enough considering it is an all-on-one device

Hi,
I uses PowerMP3 for 2 hrs daily during to and fro from work, and the entire day with GPRS turned on for IM and the rest are calendaring, SMSes and phone calls (using HBH-300 BT headset). At the end of the day, at around 11pm at nite, my phone is most of the time left with almost 15% battery life. Of course, I charge everyday with these heavy usages. Btw, PowerMP3 is known to suck battery more than the defaul music player, due mostly to its EQ support. Hope this helps.
Cheers
