Attached you will find some easy launchers, enabling you to play music (or audiobooks!) on your iLiad while reading. As of yet, there is no proper mp3-player (afaik), but this work adequately for me.
Warning: This is an extremely primitive interface. Start the music (in shuffle mode) and go on reading or whatever, or stop the music. No song selection, no title display etc.
Prerequisites: As usual, you need 2.7.1 with the execute-.sh extension.
Step 1: Gather some nice music or audiobooks, put in _one_ suitable folder (no sub-dirs) e.g. on your CF card. Extract the attached zip-file in the same folder. This means that you should have a folder "A-Play" in your mp3-folder. (My folders can be renamed if you wish, I just called them A-... to make sure they were listed on top).
Step 2: On your iLiad, navigate to the mp3 folder. Press "Play", plug in your headset and enjoy. You can navigate and read books as usual. When finished, go back to the folder and select "Stop".
Todo: Must add some icons
I haven't tried this on any iliads but mine, but I hope it works for everybody. If you try it out, let me know if it works or not.
Cudos to the developers that compiled madplay for ARM. See
