PSP homebrew developer sakya has released a new version of his mp3 player application LightMP3. For those who haven't heard of it, LightMP3 is a resource-light MP3 player application for your PSP. Using the app, you can stretch the battery life of your PSP for up to 11 hours while listening to music on it.

In the case of LightMP3 v1.4.1, this new version is mostly a bugfix of the previous release. The notable addition to LightMP3 here, however, is the ability to turn on your USB connection through the program. Here's the changelog for more details:

• Added (user request): in the file browser you can activate USB (press SELECT)
• Fixed: display didn't turn on (if turned off with START) when playlist or directory finish.
• Fixed: bug if you're using mp3s without ID3 (or only ID3v2). --> Error opening file
• Fixed: shuffle. Now pressing L will go back to previous track

We highly recommend using this application if you love listening to music on your PSP. Just turn off the display, set your player to just keep playing songs, and you're all set for some relaxing tunes for however long you want to listen. Enjoy!

Homebrew developer Xart has come out with Melody v1.0.4. For those of you unfamiliar with this application, it is an MP3 player derived from the embedded MP3 player in Choice Beta 1.5.

This latest version fixes a few of the more troublesome bugs that were found in its previous release. The Playlist and MyRating which was not working due to the update on the ID3 parser has now been fixed, meaning that this program should now be working without a hitch.

If you've been using an older release, it is advisable that you upgrade to this version. If you do decide to try this homebrew out, be sure to go over the readme document included in the zip file before doing anything to avoid any problems.

PSP homebrew developer Xandu has just released the latest version of his media application and it is now on version 1.2d. And guess what? The dev was proud to announce that Xandu's Media Player now sports custom skins and ID3v2 support.

In the unfortunate case that you've been living under a rock, Xandu's Media Player is a homebrew media app that supports .mp3, .wav, IT, MOD, S3M, and OGG. It features an iPod-like interface and an iPod clickwheel capability. Other nifty features include shuffle mode, album art, music quiz, ID3 tags, and louder sound output than XMB. Anyway, version 1.2d has the following changes and additions:

• ID3v2 now supported!
• Theme support added and opened.(This means you can do your own themes!).
  
• Album Art support refined. (JPEG errors reduced)

Xandu notes that the app's files should be dumped in the GAME150 folder, while the music files need to be in the PSP/MUSIC folder. As usual, the dev included the User Manual so be sure to check it out in case you have any questions or problems. And remember, make sure that your music file names don't have any foreign characters since it will affect the app if you do.

At any rate, check out Xandu's Media Player by clicking the download link below. Enjoy!

For those who have been waiting for the update of Xandu's Media Player 2 (XMP2), you're in luck. The homebrew developer has just released the latest version for the PlayStation Portable music player.

If you aren't familiar with this particular homebrew app, here's a bit of a primer. XMP 2 is a media player that has a iPod-ish interface. It sports .mp3, .wav, IT, MOD and S3M playback, plus a lot more. In this release, Beta v1.2B, the developer was able to work out the various kinks and bugs from the previous releases.

Anyway, here's the changelog:

• Font finally polished, XMP looks better now.
• The "weird" noises before playing reduced.
• The back bug that happened when you go back to the library.
• Play/Pause icons now look better.
• Scroll bar doesn't overlap the battery.
• Folder bug now fixed, all folders work.
• Analog in other menus now works.
• Music Quiz updated (now views score)
• Shuffle feature added BETA.

Xandu's Media Player 2 Beta v1.2B still has a few known issues at large (like the song length problem, bigger sized album art not showing up properly, and only version 1 of ID3 is supported), though hopefully, the dev will eventually get rid of those as well.

Anyway, go ahead and download the app, though make sure you read the nifty user manual that goes with the file. Enjoy!
