Pocket PCs are more than just boring schedulers. Out of the box, they pack in enough multimedia wizardry to give dedicated audio players a run for the money. While the default Windows Media Player software is adequate, it may not satisfy the audiophile in you as it lacks features like equaliser settings and effects. Here, we present you our top five picks that will keep you jamming till the cows come home.

1. | GSPlayer We can always trust the Japanese to come up with innovative stuff. GSPlayer can easily pass off as the "Swiss Army Knife of music players" when you consider the host of aural effects it has. After tuning the output with its 10-band equaliser, there're still bass booster, surround sound, 3D effect, reverb and echo for you to fiddle with. If you have a habit of dozing off to the sound of soothing music in bed, the sleep timer on GSPlayer will come in handy. It does need some work in the interface department, though. Download now |

2. | WinamPAQ Modeled after the popular WinAmp on your desktop, the developer of WinamPAQ hopes to recreate the same success on the Pocket PC. The user interface is an exact replica of the original with skinning support to customise the look. While this feature-laden player handles MP3, OGG and WMA music files easily, we thought the small buttons doesn't work quite well especially on a handheld. Still, it's good until the novelty wears off. Download now |

This versatile media player sports a 10-band equaliser and preamp function for you to tweak the output to your preference. A must-have for the avid multimedia buff who wants to do more than just listen to music. Download now |

4. | MortPlayer MortPlayer is a freeware MP3 and OGG player that's optimised for lower CPU usage. Users holding onto older Pocket PCs should give this software a spin. In addition to being resource-friendly, it scores high with its easy-to-use interface that sports large buttons for easy navigation. This software allows for easy updating of your playlist so the tedious task of managing the list is effectively a thing of the past. Download now |

5. | TodayPlayer While most players operate as standalone programs on your handhelds, TodayPlayer offers a fresh approach. This nifty app sits on your Today screen as a plug-in to play MP3, OGG and even WAV files directly. It isn't short on features, either, with an equaliser, bass boost and surround sound to boot.
