I imagine LightMP3 which can downclock to 20 mhz is better for the battery. It can't play streams.
@onfy if it's hacked you can just downclock in the menu
are you sure it's not just your battery being shot?

"I need to keep the CPU at 222 mhz, underclocking to 111 mhz makes playback choppy. I guess it's decoding on the CPU instead of media engine?"
@onfy ah! idk why it would do that. maybe a different format would work better? something something ATRAC
@noiob Also true. It's a little remarkable it's doing this at all I guess. Though I can also play in DOS, with the caveat of needing to resample 48K audio on a SB16. No need to use WPA1 or WEP though.
