Over 3 months after the original beta release, LightMP3 has gotten a new tuneup, which includes support for 4.01m33, the latest (and best) custom firmware out on the block at the moment.
If you’ve never heard or used LightMP3, consider it. It’s VERY nifty, and a very worthy upgrade over the default "player" built in to the PSP. Heck, it’s an upgrade over any shell’s MP3 players. Full of features, looks, and options, it’s easily one of the most powerful tools for playing MP3s, OGGs, ATRAC3+, and FLAC files. Perhaps best of all is that it uses VERY little power, so this thing will last you on end if you use it for music.
Here is the official list of changes since Beta1:
- Added: Switched to OSLib MOD, now supports intraFont
- Added: New skin system (now all the elements can be moved, see skin.cfg) Font is defined in the skin.cfg file
