PwnPlayer Beta 5 and MewSeek (the new iSlsk for 2.x firmware) are now available on Cydia.
PwnPlayer reads any folder inside your iPhone/iPod file system and will play mp3s the same way MobileMusicPlayer does, with playlist, artwork and add/remove/tag edit support.
MewSeek is a native P2P Soulseek client that lets you search and download music (or any kind of file) for free, straight from your iPhone or iPod Touch, using either your EDGE, Wi-Fi or 3G connection.
The developer errrick has made a few comments about these releases on his blog...
------ - PwnPlayer is still on its early development stages and it might still not work as fast and stable than the stock player, but it is continuously being improved as you read this message.
- MewSeek is only was released only for experimental and testing purposes. I admit it is not quite stable yet and I also had to disable a few features temporarily until I find better ways to implement them (e.g. the Downloads screen, the ability to prevent Wi-Fi from disconnecting when locking the device, and a few others). However, the core and basic features are working as seen in iSlsk.
- PwnPlayer website has been also launched: www.pwnplayer.com. If you have any questions, suggestions, or want to report a bug please refer to PwnPlayer forum. Dont e-mail me.
- I also created a temporary forum for MewSeek. Go post all everything related there.
Finally, Id like to say this week was just insane. Ive been sleeping about 4-5 hours everyday and now I just need some rest. That is, Ill be absent for the next two weeks because Im heading to the US to attend a few business meetings and also going on holidays in New York. During these days there wont be any updates, I will probably not reply any e-mails, however you will still see me around in the forums (thats why Im strongly encouraging you to use them instead of e-mailing me) -----
I am downloading my first file now. Entourage s05E06, and it is taking a really long time even on Wifi and left on all night fully charged. Not sure about the benefits of downloading from the phone right now because of the time aspect. Waiting to see how that plays through the pwnplayer and then i will update.
I am not knocking the app bc the time just making a comment. I think this is a great app, and a way around converting files to be played through itunes, although there are a lot of programs out there that do that too, so still trying to figure out why use this over that.
Any comments and reasons would be appreciated.
Again Kudos to the developer, i'm just asking questions as to reasons i might have missed.
