Has anyone tried the "3" media player

How does it compare to MixZing and/or TuneWiki?

I like Tune Wiki. It's a good, "all-in-one" program but it's a lot like the native media player.

I haven't tried MixZing yet.

"3" has a very unique, innovative, and "fun to use" interface that's just cool to look at. Plus, it has a very good, functional widget that looks great on the home screen.

cant seem to find it, what terms are you guys using to search for it?

the "3" app which is a great music player to replace the stock one. Just search for rockon to find it... But don't download rockon,,, instead, download "3" which will be in the results listing. This app will also find album art for all of your music and it's free.

Has anyone tried this with a Bluetooth deck? If so can you tell me whether the forward/back buttons on the deck control the player? This works in my car with the stock player and with MixZing, but it doesn't work with TuneWiki. Just curious.

+1, the preferences don't have an option for this like mixzing, so i'm doubting it. Might be a feature left off of the beta version.

Very slick. By the way, this is not the '3' media player, so much as the 'cubed' media player.

I just don't like how it went and redownloaded all my album art, seeing as how I had it all already :(

Good point about the 'cubed' naming convention.

Sorry about your album art. If you press and hold your finger on the cube, you can pick your album art based on choices from the web.

Thanks! It's not a big deal actually, I was just worried that what the player downloaded might have overwritten what I had set for the stock media player, but it didn't.

In fact, I think '3' keeps it's own album art stored in a cache or something, because the transitions between albums are so fluid.

Also, for those who haven't tried, the 'Wall' view is pretty spectacular too.

Does cube have a standard List View?

Maybe I am just old school, but I find the list view easiest to navigate. Sure the cube looks cool, but it is a lot easier searching in alphabetical order when you have a ton of albums. I know you can rotate the cube horizontally to find the letter, but I think I would still like a standard list.
