Mass., USA - August 18, 2003 - NormSoft, Inc., the publishers of the popular Pocket Tunes MP3 player for PalmOS devices, today announced the availability of Pocket Tunes version 2.0.

Pocket Tunes is an advanced audio player for PalmOS 5 devices. Aside from MP3 support, Pocket Tunes boasts background playback, a pop-up console, graphic equalizer, high resolution skin support, and many other features that make it the premier MP3 player available.

Pocket Tunes is available in two flavors:  Pocket Tunes Basic and Pocket Tunes Deluxe.  The Deluxe version includes several premium features and offers free unlimited upgrades to future Pocket Tunes versions.

Pocket Tunes Deluxe is the first MP3 player for PalmOS devices to offer bookmark and crossfade capabilities.  Pocket Tunes can create bookmarks in audio books or recorded radio broadcasts, so you can continue from where you left off.  The crossfade capability seamlessly fades from one song to the next, eliminating the skip that other audio players experience, particularly on live albums.

In addition, Pocket Tunes Basic and Pocket Tunes Deluxe offer many new enhancements and features over previous versions.  For example, Pocket Tunes has a timeout option that will stop playing music after a preset period of time.  This is useful if you leave your Palm device unattended or listen to your music while falling asleep.

Pocket Tunes 2.0 also includes support for several new (and soon-to-be-released) PalmOS 5 devices, including the Palm Tungsten T2, Handspring Treo 600, Garmin iQue 3600, and Sony CLIÉ UX50.

A free 15-day trial version of Pocket Tunes is available from www.pocket-tunes.com
