Name for a Software Application like EphPod and Xplay, Suggestions?

Hello,

We are currently looking for a name for our software application that is like EphPod and Xplay. We had the name WinPod but mediafour owns the trademark right to WinPod. We wanna stear away from a name with the word Pod now because we are also interested in adding support for Creative Jukebox Zen. So a name that dosn't focus on iPod. We also wanna stear away from names that have the word media or centre or manager or audio etc ...
also the domain name has to be available .com domain.

thanks any suggestions would help

Are you going to compete with above applications? Do you believe that the name makes you win? I also have an application in this space and I'd be interested in adding support of Creative Jukebox. Do they use some specific database format, ot just plain file system?

Hehe, it's good to hear from y'all again... I'd started to think that you gave up on WinPod.

That brings back some old memories, fo sho.

ooh, ooh I really like these makey-up threads, creativity and all that.

really like dmt's ForePlay, though 4Play is snappier (but i'll gladly share royalties with dmt)

descriptive/definition based:

aMP3
iMP3 (little too iPOD centric)
Aural-i (as above)
MuGo (music-on-the-go)
DownTheWire
Sonic Wire
Sonar
Echoes
Mutopia
Digital Roo (hopping music? ok, ok getting carried away ...)

generic/abstract:

Wisp
Vapours (AMG mentioned similar, like it)
Immerse

... please send consulting fees to dcbell, PO Box 666, Hades etc., blah ...
