Hi all,

2 questions, if you've got a sec or two. First is I've started using my TP2 as an mp3 player in the car and it ROCKS! Only problem is, I like to have it both playing (connected via miniRCA) and charging (usb) while in the car, for obvious reasons.

If I have both connectors connected, I get a hissy squeeky noise. I'm assuming this is some sort of interference in the wiring or some such between the two, 'cause if I have just one connected, it doesn't matter either one, I don't get the sound.

First question: Is there any way to eliminate the noise? Or maybe dampen it?

Next, I've tried a few players, but having a hard time making up my mind. Best case scenario would be id3 tag support, including Lyric tag support, low power usage. I don't necessarily need all the fancy video support, or anything other than mp3 codec. WMP doesn't seem to do it for me, Nitrogen is nice and light, but has no tag support at all (doesn't even display my album art, although not important to me), Kinoma Play ate my battery like crazy (less than 2 hours it was drained), and I can't quite interpret Mortplayer enough to trust to install it just yet, nor can I tell if it has lyrics support.

The one I like best so far is PocketPlayer, mostly because of tag and Lyric tag support. Only problem is it's $20. I have no problem supporting developers, but before I plunk down that sort of cash, I need to somehow make sure there isn't a player out there that might be better. Pocket Player is okay, but I find its interface to be a little clunky/confusing, but the id3/lyrics tag support makes it rock.

So my second question: Is there any other player out there that I haven't tried yet that has Lyrics tag support but doesn't eat up battery power like it's going out of style? I was reading that there was some sort of lyrics support in TCMCP, but couldn't figure out what to do in order to do it. I tried searching the Coreplayer website to see if it suppported lyrics tags, but didn't find any evidence.

Thank you for any input or help you can offer!
