X01HT - MP3 Players

The next software I am looking for is a MP3 player for my audio books and musics. Below are the selection criteria I have:

1. Bookmark is a must functionality especially for those large audio books with more than 1 hour of content in a single file
   
2. Bluetooth headphone support. In addition to playing the sound, I want to be able to control the player from my bluetooth headphone (e.g. prev/next track, volume control and pause/resume)
3. Minimum control to my audio files. I don't need any catalog functions and I don't want the software to scan my Pocket PC for files.

Below software I have tried and MortPlayer is the software I have picked.

• MortPlayer
• Media Player - built-in player of Windows Mobile 5 (WM5) machines
  
• MP3 Player - comes with my X01HT
• GSPlayer
  

MortPlayer

I like the software as soon as I start to use it. It's a plain user interface but lots of features I like. Below major ones I find important,

• Works fine with my bluetooth headphone. No problem with all the resume/pause and next/prev track control
• Resumes playing from the point when I stopped the player
• Able to open a folder and play all files inside (of course, you could later modify the play order between different files)
• Bookmark could be added
• Able to control the player even when running in background (from the icon in the status bar)
  

The following are some of the screenshots I have taken:

The normal view of the software:

The software minimized. The icon is displayed next to the battery level:


The menu from the minimized icon (for me, I only need this for the bookmark function as I have the bluetooth headphone for other functions):

If you are interested, below screens from the 'MP3 Player' and 'GSPlayer'. In fact, GSPlayer is not bad if you are looking for really small MP3 Player.
