Yes, TCPMP works fine, and on topic I can install it from Linux :) It's
great for playing movies and audio on the Treo - but it doesn't let me
delete the audio track I've just played like RealPlayer does.

Why am I so hung up on this ability? Because I play a podcast, then
delete it off the SD card to make room for the next ones. For some
reason most portable MP3 players make this task very difficult.
