A plug in for your Today screen is to be found here. Update Description:
v3.3:
- Improved alarm clock (up to 8 different times: one for each day of the week and an "one time" alert, optional fixed alarm sound, works without player running).
- Support of GSPlayer plug-ins (note you might have to configure them in "Playback" settings, the MIDI plug-in requires the instruments from here).
- Selectable paths for skins, favorites, plug-ins, ... ("Paths" settings).
- Write of track informations into file (e.g. logfile or mail signature, see "Logfile" settings).
- Tried to speed up several situations.
- Easier skin selection.
- Proxy for streaming.
- Screensaver can be disabled with every button.
- Files can be deleted from player ("Playlist"->"Delete file" in menu, or add a "DeleteFile" button to your skin).
- Several bugfixes and "other" images support (for covers) for ID3 Tags.
- Should work fine with WM5 VGA devices now.
- New actions for buttons: Choose Skin, switch Skin (requires prepared Skins, see LoadSkin in "For Skins" below), Exit, into background (minimize).
- Scrolling by "page" for multiline labels.
- System's close command (e.g. when memory runs low) can be ignored.
- Directory selection dialog shows Explorer's MRU list of net connections. For Skins:
- LabelBorder supported.
- New buttons: ChooseSkin (opens skin selection dialog), LoadSkin (switches to skin/screen told in "LoadSkinName" and "LoadSkinScreen"), DeleteFile (deletes currently selected file - really, not only from playlist!).
- With "NextScreen=index" and "PrevScreen=index" you can set the screen to switch to. Only used if enhanced screen switching is not used and no selection box is opened (see "Handling" options). v3.2:
New features:
- Preamp and volume sliders can be swapped (i.e. preamp can be modified with the volume slider - or vice versa, if the skin contains a preamp slider).

- Album covers from ID3 tags, trackname.jpg/.png or path.jpg/.png (see also manual).

- Better stream handling, allows switching the stations with prev./next track buttons and playlists with tracks on http servers (e.g. http://myserver.com/track.mp3).
- After selecting a bookmark, the folder/playlist that was opened when it was set is opened, even if it's not in the favorites. This way, audio books can be continued even better.
- Scrolling of track infos is optional.
- Screensaver isn't activated after timeout if there's an external power supply.
- Doze timer can be set to any value between 0 and 120 minutes.
- Alarm clock button is labelled with alarm clock and power off countdown (if it's in the skin...).

- Volume can be changed if the alarm clock is activated. Bugfixes:
- Random generator is "more random"
- Adding single files to playlist didn't work in any case.
- With "Shuffle all" sometimes "Play" didn't start the selected track.

- Small error at setting bookmarks removed.
- Stream name will still be shown after stop and switching screen.

- Bigger buttons when setting bookmarks.

Other Software by developer «Mort (Mirko Schenk)»:
MortRing A tool to assign ringtones and SMS signals to single contacts or categories (assigned in Outlook or Contacts on your PPC) on Phone Edition PPCs. The ringtone assignment won't work on every PPC, esp. if there are lots of contacts (you'll hear the default ringtone or the one of the previous contact). Sadly, there's nothing I can do about that..
MortScript MortScript interprets a (quite) simple batch language. If you know .bat files in DOS or shell scripts: it's something like that. Its focus is to remote control or launch other applications, not to write real applications. I.e., you can't do complex dialogs or graphics with it
MortSaver MortSaver is a combination of screensaver, keylock, and a "stay off!" function. Screensaver:
The display's turned off, but the PPC keeps running (e.g. for audio players). In spite to other tools, MortSaver turns off the dispay again if it's been switched on by e.g. an alert or the on/off button
MortButtons Despite the name, MortButtons is NOT a tool to assign applications to buttons, like BtnPlus, VITO ButtonMapper, PowerButton, and similar tools.
Instead, it allows to create multiple small menus, which can be used with just one button
