Playing mp3s

What's the best mp3 player for PPC (MIPS specifically)?<br>The main things I require are longest possible battery life, and a random play function. Windows media player 7 seems quite good, but I couldn't find a screen blank option which I think would help on battery life.<br>Thanks

In WMP go to tools at the bottom, then settings, then click Buttons. I use the screen toggle function like everyday, it really helps battery life.

No, just a guest. I'm trying my darnedest to keep above the squabble that litters these forums. Deleting my account was a means to an end, aside from some other temporary disagreements I had with Matt.<br>damn, I need a girlfriend.
