processors or hard disks are especially susceptible due to hardware
restrictions.

</table>
Before you can play any songs on your Palm device, you
must copy audio files on to it.  Audio files can be copied to an
expansion card (e.g. SD or MMC) or to main memory.  Some devices also
include a built-in hard disk or flash memory that can store music.  There are several
methods to copy audio files to your handheld.  Please read below and follow
the instructions that are appropriate for you.  We strongly recommend using
Windows Media Player to copy audio files.

</table>
If you have Windows Media Player 10 or 11 and you have a device
that is supported for playing music from online music stores (see the
<a href="#Require">Requirements & Compatibility section</a> above), then you can
copy music using a number of applications designed to work with portable media
devices.  This includes Windows Media Player 10 and 11, Napster, Rhapsody, and
Yahoo! Music Engine, among many others.  For these applications, please
follow their instructions for copying music to a portable device.
Important: Be sure you have installed the Windows
Media Player Integration option when you installed Pocket Tunes!  If you
installed Pocket Tunes wirelessly, you probably have not installed this. 
Download Pocket Tunes from our web site and run the installer.
For Windows Media Player 10 or 11 (with supported devices),
follow these instructions:
<ol>
<li>Connect your Palm device using its USB cable, or
place it in its cradle.</li>
<li>On your Palm, start Pocket Tunes.</li>
<li>You may see a dialog similar to this one (the choices
will vary, depending on the software you have installed): 
 
<img border="0" src="mtp-media-player.gif" width="347" height="326"> 
 </li>
<li>If you do not see this dialog, check your music
player software.  If the device does not appear there, you probably
have an incompatible device.  Please check the <a href="#Require">
Requirements & Compatibility section</a> above and check your Communication
mode on the "Copy from PC Prefs" screen in Pocket Tunes - it should be set
to MTP.  You can copy music with Windows Media Player by following the
instructions in the following section.</li>
<li>Click on "Synchronize media files to this device
using Windows Media Player" and then click OK.</li>
<li>You will now be able to "sync" music to your device
using Windows Media Player.  Please consult the Windows Media Player
documentation for instructions on how to copy music to portable devices and
how to set up sync relationships.</li>
</ol>

</table>
If you have Windows Media Player 9, or if you are using a
device that does not support online music stores, you can still copy files
directly to your Palm over the USB cable or cradle.  Please make sure to
install the Windows Media Player integration (see <a href="#Installing">section
4</a> for installation instructions).  (For Ogg Vorbis users: To copy Ogg
Vorbis files using Windows Media Player, you will need to install an Ogg Vorbis
plugin, available from <a href="http://www.illiminable.com/ogg/">
http://www.illiminable.com/ogg/</a> .)
<ol>
<li>Connect your Palm handheld using its USB cable, or
place it in its cradle.</li>
<li>On your Palm, start Pocket Tunes.</li>
<li>Start Windows Media Player on your PC.  (If you
start Windows Media Player before your Palm is connected, your device may
not be detected correctly.)</li>
<li>In Windows Media Player, click on "Media Library" and
select the audio files that you would like to copy.</li>
<li>Right click on the audio files and select "Copy to CD
or Device".</li>
<li>On the right-hand side, you should now see a dropdown
with a list of devices.  (The CD Drive is usually the default.)</li>
<li>From this drop down, select your Palm handheld. 
If you do not see your device, press F5 to refresh the list of devices.</li>
<li>Press the "Copy" button in the upper-right corner.</li>
<li>When the copying has completed, you may begin playing
the new music!  Tap the Open button to select music that you want to
play.</li>
</ol>
When using Windows Media Player, new music is copied to
the expansion card on your Palm device.  If you don't have an expansion
card inserted, music will be copied to main memory.  If you have more than
one expansion card, Pocket Tunes will choose the one with the most available
space.
Choosing Where Audio Files are Copied To
When copying music, Pocket Tunes picks the expansion card
or storage device with the largest amount of free space.  If there are no
expansion cards available, Pocket Tunes will store the music in main memory. 
If you wish to override this behavior, you can do so by selecting the "Copy from
PC Prefs" menu item in Pocket Tunes.  On this screen, you can choose the destination
location and folder for the audio files.  It is recommended that you leave
these set to the default values ("Automatic" and the default folder) for best
operation.

To transfer an audio file to your memory card using a card
reader, follow these steps:
<ol>
<li>Insert your flash memory card into your card reader.</li>
<li>Use Windows Explorer to copy MP3, AAC, aacPlus, WMA, Ogg Vorbis, or WAV files to
the memory card.  The recommended location for audio files is in the
Audio directory on the root of the card.  If that directory doesn't
exist, you can safely create it.</li>

To transfer an audio file to your memory card using Palm's
HotSync program, follow these steps.
<ol>
<li>Start the Palm Install Tool.  This is installed as
part of Palm Desktop.  On Windows, it is on your Start Menu under the
"Palm Desktop" folder.</li>
<li>Click the Add button.  The "Open" dialog will
appear.</li>
<li>Where it says "Files of type:", select "All Files
(*.*)".</li>
<li>Select an MP3, AAC, aacPlus, WMA, Ogg Vorbis, or WAV file (*.mp3,
*.m4a, *.ogg, or *.wav) and
click "Open".</li>
<li>Perform a HotSync.</li>
</ol>
Palm's HotSync program can sometimes be very slow for
copying large files.  To speed up installation, we recommend that you use
Windows Media Player or purchase a card reader.  A Secure Digital / MMC card reader can be
purchased for around $30 US and will drastically speed up audio file
installation.

In order to copy audio files with Pocket Tunes Sync for iTunes, you must have installed it to your Windows PC
or Mac when you installed
Pocket Tunes.  If you installed Pocket Tunes directly to your handset by
downloading a PRC file over a wireless network connection, you will need to
download the Windows or Mac installer for Pocket Tunes and install it on your
computer,
ensuring you leave the "Music Player Integration" item selected when prompted during
the installation.  You can download the Windows and Mac installers for Pocket Tunes
at <a href="http://www.pocket-tunes.com/?page=download">
http://www.pocket-tunes.com</a> .
Note that only unprotected files within your iTunes
library can be played within Pocket Tunes.  The "Pocket Tunes Sync for iTunes" PC client will skip any protected files that you attempt to synchronize
to your device.  
<ol>
<li>Connect your Palm OS� device using its USB cable
to your PC.</li>
<li>Run "Pocket Tunes Sync for iTunes" by choosing "All
Programs > Pocket Tunes > Pocket Tunes Sync" from the Windows

When you start Pocket Tunes, you will see the player
screen.  This screen will look different depending on the skin that you
have installed.  All of the screen shots in the user guide are from the
default skin ("Sleek (Blue)").  Note that if you have a device that supports
landscape and portrait large screen views, the skin will resize to fit the
screen, and the layout will be slightly different from what is shown here.
You can access many of the preferences and options of
Pocket Tunes by displaying the menu.  You can display the menu by pressing
the menu key on your device's keyboard or by tapping the menu icon in the
graffiti area of your device.  Many of the menu items have hot keys, which
are listed to the right of each menu item.  You can access these functions
quickly by pressing the corresponding key (you do not need to display the menu
first).
The "Sleek (Blue)" skin was created by Tunji Afonja (<a href="http://www.gx-5.com">www.gx-5.com</a>)

When you are choosing songs to add to a playlist or to
select songs to be played immediately, you will see the Choose Songs screen.

<img border="0" src="choose-songs.gif" width="324" height="324">

At the top-right of the screen is a drop-down that
contains a list of the memory cards available.  It also contains an entry
called "Palm", which is for selecting audio files in main memory, and an option
called "All" for browsing all of the music stored on your handheld.  Select the memory card where your audio file is
located, or pick "All" to browse your music by artist, album, genre,
or playlist.

When you first select a memory card, Pocket Tunes will
look for the default music directory (usually /Audio or /Music).  If it exists, it will open it and
display all of the audio files available.  If it does not exist, Pocket
Tunes will display the root directory of the flash card.

To select or unselect a song, tap on it.  Once you
have selected all of the songs you wish to play or add, tap OK.  To select
all of the songs in the current directory, tap "Select All" and then tap OK.

Subdirectories will appear with a folder icon next to
them.  To view the contents of a subdirectory, tap on it.  A special
folder called ".." will appear in all subdirectories.  Tap on it to view
the contents of the parent directory.

Pocket Tunes allows you to create and manage playlists (groups of songs that you would like to play together).

Select "Manage Playlists" from the "Actions" menu to bring
up the "Manage Playlists" screen.  Tip: You can also double-click the select
button on the 5-way navigator to bring up this screen.

<img border="0" src="select-playlist.gif" width="324" height="324">

Tap New to create a new playlist, Edit to edit an existing
playlist, Select to select the playlist and begin playing it, or Cancel to
cancel selection of a playlist.  You can also tap Delete to delete the
currently-selected playlist, or Move to move the playlist between main memory
and an expansion card.
By default, new playlists are saved on an expansion card,
if possible.  If you select music from more than one expansion card, or if
you select music stored in internal memory, then the playlist will be stored in
internal memory on your Palm device.  When playlists are stored on an
expansion card, they are stored in the standard M3U format in the
/PALM/Programs/PocketTunes folder.  You can copy M3U playlists anywhere on
an expansion card, but it is recommended that you store them in /PALM/Programs/PocketTunes
or in the same folder as the music that it refers to.  (If the pathnames in
the M3U file are incorrect, Pocket Tunes makes an effort to search for the music
that the playlist refers to, but it may not be able to find the music unless the
M3U file is in the same directory as the song files.)

When you edit a playlist, you will see the "Edit Playlist"
screen.

<img border="0" src="edit-playlist.gif" width="324" height="324">

Tap "Add Song" to add a new song to the list.  Tap Remove to remove the selected song from the

Check the Turn off screen while playing option to allow
Pocket Tunes to turn off your LCD display in order to save power.  Turning
off your display will noticeably increase the battery life of your Palm while
playing audio files.
Select 10, 30, or 60 seconds to determine how long Pocket
Tunes will wait before shutting off the display.
Select unless the Palm is in its cradle to leave the
Palm on while playing a song while in the cradle (or charging).

Select Power button turns off screen to use
the power button to turn off the screen while playing music.

To enable the volume boost, select the amount of boost you
wish to use from the dropdown.  Note that any amount of volume boost is
likely to degrade the audio quality, especially anything over +6dB.  When
using volume boost, you should have your volume set to the maximum (or near the
maximum).  If you don't, then lower the volume boost and increase the
volume slider to increase audio quality and maintain the same volume.  
Performance Note: The volume boost setting does not add any extra overhead
to Ogg Vorbis or MP3 decoding, but it may slightly slow down WAV files. 
This slowdown should not be noticeable.

You can choose to display your current song list in the
comments area on the main screen.  If you select the Show song list
in comment area option, you will be
able to scroll through all of the songs in the current playlist and start
playing them by tapping on them.  Note that if your skin does not have a
comments area, then this option will not have an effect.

When Swap 5-way nav. axes is unchecked

You can turn this off by unchecking the Flash LED while screen is off option.

Select the Blank screen while in other apps option to
allow the LCD to turn off while you are playing music in the background. 
Uncheck this option if you don't want the screen to be turned off while working

Select the Start playing on startup option to have
Pocket Tunes automatically start playing the last song you were listening to
when it's started.

By default, Pocket Tunes will pause playback when you get
a low battery warning, which will allow your Palm to go to sleep and prevent it
from running out of battery life.  You can turn this option off by
unchecking the Stop playing on low battery option.

Select Stop playing after X minutes in order to limit
the amount of time that Pocket Tunes will play music for.  After this time
limit is reached, Pocket Tunes will pause the current song, and then the Palm
will go to sleep as normal.

Select Warn me about audio quality to enable a warning
message to appear whenever you select an option that could adversely affect the
audio quality.

Pocket Tunes comes with support for "skins."  A skin
is an alternate graphical interface for Pocket Tunes.  Visit
<a href="http://www.pocket-tunes.com/skins/">http://www.pocket-tunes.com/skins/</a>
to view a list of available skins.  If you're interested in making your own
skins, there is information at that web site to help you.
To install a skin, double-click on its PDB file and
perform a HotSync.  Skins can also be installed on the flash card.  To
do this using HotSync, double-click on the skin and then use the Palm Install
tool to change the destination to your flash card.  If you are using a card
reader, copy the skin's PDB file to the /PALM/Launcher directory on the flash
card.  You can also copy skin files to /PALM/Programs/PocketTunes (you may
have to create this directory).
Next, run Pocket Tunes.  Open the menu bar by tapping
the menu icon on your silk screen, pressing the menu key, or tapping in the
current skin's title area (where it says "Pocket Tunes").  Select "Choose
Skin..." from the Tools menu.
A list of available skins will be displayed.

By default, this is done by making a pen "swipe" with your stylus.  While
Pocket Tunes is playing in the background, put your stylus down on the "Apps"
icon (to the left of the graffiti area), and drag it down to the "Menu" icon. 
Then lift your stylus, and the Pocket Tunes console will appear.

Pocket Tunes allows you to seamlessly fade from one song to the next.  This feature is known as crossfading.  It is only
available in the Deluxe version of Pocket Tunes.
To change the crossfade settings, select "Crossfade Prefs"

Set the desired crossfade duration by selecting the
duration from the popup list.  This duration is the number of seconds of
overlap during which Pocket Tunes will fade from one song to the next.  A
duration of "gapless" means that Pocket Tunes will attempt to seamlessly blend
two song files together without any gaps.  This is most useful for audio
files recorded from live albums or DJ mix CDs.
This feature of Pocket Tunes requires a certain amount of
additional memory on your Palm device in order to prepare the audio information
for crossfading.  Longer crossfade durations require more memory. 
This screen displays your available memory and the amount of memory required for
crossfading.  Additionally, this screen includes a message indicating
whether you have enough memory for crossfading.

<img border="0" src="internet-radio.gif" width="320" height="320">
The first time you open the Internet Radio catalog, your
Palm will download an initial set of Internet Radio stations from the Pocket
Tunes web site.  This pre-populated catalog can be periodically updated
from the Pocket Tunes web site by choosing "Get Updates" from the "Update" menu
within the catalog, or by enabling automatic update checks in the
<a href="#Preferences">Preferences</a> screen.
Stations in the Internet Radio catalog are divided into
categories.  The popup list at the top of the screen is used to choose
which category is displayed.  The list beneath the popup will show all the
stations within the selected category.  Selecting a station in the list and
choosing "Play" will begin streaming the selected station.  (For your
convenience, all stations within the category will be loaded into the playlist,

without returning to the catalog.)
You can use the "Add," "Edit," "Move," "Copy," and
"Delete" actions on the Internet Radio catalog's "Station" menu to personalize
the contents of the Internet Radio catalog.
Advanced: You can also tune into an Internet radio
station from the "Choose Songs" screen.  In the upper-right, select "All"

file; pick "Open".  It may also ask you if you want to accept the file;
select Yes.  Pocket Tunes will then load the station and start playing it
within a few seconds.
After using your web browser to find a new Internet Radio
station, the new station will be included in the "Unfiled" category in the
Internet Radio catalog.  You can use the "Move" or "Copy" options in the

Pocket Tunes supports the Exchange Manager for playing
music.  This means that you can play music from web sites, receive music by
email, and receive music over infrared.  (Other software is required to
take advantage of this support.)
Receiving Music
When you receive a supported music file, Pocket Tunes will
ask you whether you want to save the music (so that you can select it from the
Choose Songs screen later) or save and immediately play the music.  Pocket
Tunes may then ask you which card to save it to (if you have multiple cards). 
It will then save the music to the card and begin playing (if you chose to both
save and play).
M3U Playlists
This feature is available in the Deluxe version only.  Pocket Tunes can use M3U playlists to play music on the
Internet.  The entries in an M3U file can refer to an Internet audio URL or a
non-streaming MP3 or Ogg Vorbis file.  You can select an M3U file in any
Exchange Manager compatible program (web browser, email application, etc.), and
Pocket Tunes will play the Internet music listed in the file.
Examples
Following is a list of some applications that are known to
be compatible with Pocket Tunes's Exchange manager support.
Web Browsers 
Most web browsers work with Pocket Tunes.  Tap on a link to an MP3, AAC,
aacPlus, WMA, Ogg Vorbis, WAV file, or other supported audio format to play it.
Email Software 
Many email software that supports attachments, such as SnapperMail, will be
able to use Pocket Tunes to play music attachments.
File Managers 
Some file managers, such as FileProg, can be used to beam audio files to
another Palm device with Pocket Tunes installed.

</table>
Pocket Tunes supports the display of JPEG-encoded album
art.  The album art for a song can be included within the song file (in a
"tag"), or it may be a separate file located in the same folder as the music
file.
If you are using a skin that supports album art (as does
the default skin included with Pocket Tunes 5.0), it will be displayed whenever a
song with album art is playing.  If not, you may view the song's album art
by opening the song information screen (choose "Song Info" from the "Actions"
menu) or you may view the art in full-screen mode by choosing "Show Album Art"
from the "Actions" menu.
When viewing album art in full-screen mode, the displayed
album art will change as new songs with album art are played.  If a song
without album art starts playing, Pocket Tunes will change from full-screen
album art mode back to displaying the selected skin.

Every time you listen to a song using Pocket Tunes Deluxe,
you can allow it to be tracked to your Last.fm music profile.  This is
called scrobbling�. Based on this profile, Last.fm creates customized radio
stations of music you'll like. Plus, Last.fm also uses your music profile to
give you: new music to listen to, concert listings in your area, music videos,
free downloads, neighbors (people who like the same music you do), charts based
on your listening history. For more information and to start using Last.fm,
visit <a href="http://www.last.fm">www.last.fm</a>.
To enable scrobbling within Pocket Tunes select the
"Last.fm" item from the "Tools" menu.  In the "Last.fm" screen that
appears, enter your Last.fm user id, password, and ensure the box labeled
"Enable Scrobbling" is checked then select "OK".
