Over on the NeoFlash Forums, arpaagent has released an alternative mp3 player that PSP users can try out on their handhelds, called the VisMP3 Media Library/Visualizer v0.1.

Here’s a list of the features for the application:

• Developed for 3.x kernel (I am using 3.72), Works for Phat and Slim
• Automatic detection of MP3 files in a folder and its subfolders (specified in config)
• Hardware decoding of mp3 files
• Parsing of ID3v1 and ID3v2 information used to build media library
• Media Library accessed through Artist, Album, and Genre categories
• Creation of playlists from media library items, easy to add full albums or single songs
• Playlists are number 0-98 and can save/load from the program
• Skinnable (background image and UI colors chosen while running)
• Supports Sony remote control for playback control
• Smart Random (no repeats) and Linear playback of playlists
• Four different visualizers (for now…will be more to come), all with runtime adjustable properties:
• Spectrum Analyzer
• “Boom Box” (boxes flying across the screen with visually stimulating “thumps”
• Fireworks that explode with the beats of the song, with colors correspdonding to frequency ranges
• Oscilloscope-style view of sample data
• Allows background visualizations while navigating media library, playlist, etc
• Font support for loading pgfs (not available to the user yet, but uses system fonts to look nice)
• Also supports simple bitmap style font for faster rendering
