    Media Car all the way
    Likes: In Order of Priority
    Stable, Very stable
    Easy to skin
    Lots of features, but not over loaded
    Widely used (which means easy to get support)

    Dislikes: Only 1
    Can not build a playlist with in the player (but reads MediaPlayer Play lists)
    You can still have something if you have nothing

    MediaCar is good but it is slower compared to FrodoPlayer.
    Thats because frodoplayer uses a database. Also, I dont use media car because it was real buggy for me. If your files arent properly tagged you will get error messages.

    FrodoPlayer also has a bunch of built-in cool stuff like a file synchronizer, XM radio player, and such.

    I used MediaCar for a long time, but with no updates to come, what you see is what you get.

    I switched to Frodo and I'm VERY HAPPY!!

    It is an open ?, you have starte, it will be the same if I ask "witch car type do you use"

    Maybe it can be a good idea to make a table for all (media system) se the diffrent thy are...

    Frodo Player - BTW! All the way:

    Flexibile
    Skinnable
    Wideley used
    has not died on its arse like MediaCar,
    Regularly added to thanks to Frodo and his dedication (Caffine!)
    Media Engine was good, but hardly ever gets updated but i here it is coming along now

    I'm using NMC... It is still in beta but is very stable, and the most expadable one i've seen...

    There should be an upcoming release anytime now that will include:
    - External application support, with OSK, with button to turn on/off the osk (onscreen keyboard)
    - Ability to call applications from the main menu (like GPS, Camera)
    - Photo album builtin with transitions
    - Visualizations builtin
    - Small Medium Large visual/video modes (allows full screen, medium, or small view with file details for previewing)
    - Progress indicator for audio/video
    - Very good setup program, very easy to use, very very professional.

    I tried Media Engine, Media Car, FrodoPlayer (new version, yes), PyCar, HeadUnit, and for me none of them came within miles of NMC. I'm a bit biased since I am beta-testing, but I only became a tester after I started bugging the author about how I like his software.

    It is definitely the most "well rounded" frontend I have seen, in my opinion. Give it a try...!


    There is a forum with a few posts (just starting up) here under Software/Other/NeoCar or you can check the website www.neocarmediacenter.com
