If you remember iSlsk, a P2P client from firmware 1.1.4 and below, you will recognize MewSeek. MewSeek is iSlsk for firmware 2.x. It has basically the same look and the same features as iSlsk. When you open MewSeek, you will get a Terms of Agreement in which you will need to accept before entering into the application. Once in the application, you will notice that the lower menu options have not changed they still include; What’s New which gives you more information about the application, Settings, File Search, Transfers and Downloads.


You can sign up for an account in the Settings. If you already had an account for iSlsk…you can use that same username and password. File Search still allows you to search for files and looks exactly that same as it did before. The same goes for the Transfers option…looks and functions the same as before. The only option that is not currently available is the Downloads option. MewSeek does not (at this time) download the files to your stock iPod application on your iPhone or iPod Touch either. However, the files that you download can be played via PwnPlayer. They show up in PwnPlayer’s File System section and play with no problem (at least the ones I tried).

Overall MewSeek works great…I did not have any issues using the application. I also love that it continues to download files in the background when you close the application. When MewSeek is connected, you will get a little MewSeek icon on your Status Bar. To disconnect MewSeek just go into Settings and select the Disconnect button in the upper left corner. Like all P2P clients, be sure to read all information regarding the use of this application before using.

PwnPlayer is an application that is aimed to be a replacement for your stock iPod app on your iPhone or iPod Touch. It has most of the basic features of the iPod with a few extra (and very nice) features. When you open PwnPlayer, you will notice a lower menu bar with the options; Featured, Playlists, Library, File System and Search. The Featured option gives you more information about the application. The Playlist option allows you to create multiple playlists…similar to the stock iPod application. Library allows you look through your music by Artist, Songs and/or Albums. File System is a very cool option that allows you to play files from via your file system. Another nice feature is the Search option. In Search, you are able to search for keywords in Songs, Artists, Albums, Files or All.


On the Featured page you will also notice a Settings button in the upper left corner. In the Settings you are able to select an audio type, see the directories the file system is pulling from on your iPhone (and edit the directories) and you also have the ability to turn on/off lock screen gesture controls and your Home Button double-tap controls. If you turn on the lock screen gesture controls, you are able to control PwnPlayer from your lock screen. All you have to do is tap and hold on your lock screen and the controls will appear.

This application does warn that it is not completely stable yet however, it did pretty well for me. It only crashed once or twice the entire time I was testing it. Overall, I like the application it does the basics of the stock media player and adds a few really nice features. Let me know in the comments what you think of the app.
