mp3 player / low volume through headset

Im looking for an S60 3rd mp3 / aac player that is good and allows the volume to be pumped because when i play tunes through the headphones at full volume it still sounds quite quiet.

My N95 also played all music and videos on very low volume. I first thought that my phone was broken, but after testing I noticed that radio and mp3s as ringtones worked perfectly, 3x, 4x louder. Only the media player wouldn't play anything thru headset, and the speaker volume was almost none, no matter how loud the volume was set.

Solution: Go To Tools -> Settings -> General settings -> Restore original settings (Names may differ a bit, I have finnish phone). Default security code is 12345.

I found no record of any setting disabling headset in player, nor crippling speaker volume. I assume this is a bug, since its working fine now, as it worked in radio and ringtone modes before. This probably works on other Nokia N-series phones since the software is essentially the same.

Don't know about other players, OggPlay didn't work on Nokia 9500 last time I checked and N95 doesn't need one 😊
