CorePlayer, a favorite amongst many Windows Mobile and other mobile platform users has been ported to the iPhone and iPod touch. CorePlayer offers media management to completely avoid using iTunes. An iPhone media player other than the iPod application could open doors to downloading MP3 files on the run through Seeqpod. Downloading files through Safari is possible with the Mobile Safari Download Plugin from iPhone hacker ‘hachu’. Not sure when it will be released, but they’re working on making it more iPhone friendly. Check the video after the cut for more a more in depth preview.

I loved tcpmp on my palm devices, and even used the older versions so that I could play mp4s and acc files. it was great, but my question is – whats the point of having an iphone and than wanting to bypass itunes?
I didn’t se anything in that video that can’t be managed in the “iPod”-mode on a regular iphone using On-The-Go-playlists.
Loved CorePlayer on my old windows mobile device thou. If/when video support is available CorePlayer might be useful for iphone as well but with only the audioplayback as seen above seems a bit unnecessary to be honest.
Coreplayer is a rip-off, it ‘s opensource software from a Hungarian coder disguised as something new. Difference being that it’s payware now. On the iPhone it’s useless and superfluous as other have pointed out.
hi, i just wanted to know that does this core player supports the video format mpeg 1 mpeg 2. please let me know its very important for me to know
