XPlayer vs. Dollars 5?

rainydayz · #1 12-14-2007 -

Ok so I just found out that there were other options for a media player on the BB. Some people use XPlayer and others use Dollars 5. Are they pretty much the same? Is one better than the other? If so, which one? Are there certain file types that I need to use? I just downloaded the beta version of Dollars 5, but I haven't tried it yet. I'd really like to hear from those of you that have either one. Oh and is there some sort of online manual thingymajig that will tell me how to use them properly? Thanks in advance.

I like Dollars5 media player because you can do streaming web radio with it

cyberspastic · #9 12-14-2007 -

it also has full screen video. There's playlist support, but I think it's kind of awkward to use. It's also not as pretty as Flipside, but it certainly gets the job done.

but fipside doesnt show videos its only for music aitn it?

cyberspastic · #11 12-14-2007 -

yes, flipside is only for music.

It doesn't cost anything. Maybe they were referring to the other player...Flipside?
