Any alternate MP3 player for the iPhone?

You can send feedback to Apple - http://apple.com/feedback

I don't believe there are competing apps to the iPod in the app store.

You do realize the UI also contains a fast forward and rewind button also?
If you press and release, the button skips to the beginning when rewind or skips to end for fast forward.
If you press and hold-it rewinds or fast forwards within the track.

I never could get the hang of the ring thing myself.

I agree. I still have ipods with the ring and I much prefer the iphone UI.

Not for nothing -- Apple IS working on consistency across it's iPod line -- it's slowly phasing out the ring on ALL iPods and slowly replacing them with the iPhone/iTouch interface....

i for one absolutely hated the iPod controls. you couldn't just pick it up and use it like i could with the dozens of mp3 players that i have used over the last 10+ years. nothing against apple or iPods or anything like that, i just couldn't use it. if the iPhone made you use that kind of interface, i would have not purchased an iPhone, which would suck cause i love it. it's a great phone.

doesn't anyone know of the greater fine tuned controls of the iPod app in the iPhone? i discovered it on accident, and think it's awesome. to use them, press your finger on the little ball thingie, and then move your finger down the screen. you're given different options for what kind of 'scrubbing' you are doing. you can do full scrubbing, 1/2 scrubbing, 1/4 scrubbing, etc, and each one changes the amount of fast forward/rewinding that you are doing while moving your finger.

it's a little hard to describe, so check this out: http://tippopotamus.blogspot.com/2009/06/iphone-os-30-audio-and-video-scrubbing. html

Yup, no multimedia players right now. "Streamer" only plays streamed video contents; so does "netTV" and the (many) radio streamers. (Except for FStream, which is also able to record broadcasts into WAV files and play them back at will.)
