Press Release by: PlayerPal 

 

(openPR) - London, 28th April 2006 - PlayerPal today officially announced PlayerPal Version 4, which adds support for controlling iTunes from a Sony PSP as well as from other browsers like Pocket IE, Firefox and Internet Explorer. PlayerPal is a companion product for iTunes and Windows Media Player. Install it once on your music PC and it will connect to your music player and display your music collection in any web browser. You can search, browse and control your music from anywhere in your home or office, using any device with a web browser.

 

Ben Taylor, Managing Director of PlayerPal said “Using PlayerPal people can have easy access and full control of their digital music, without having to stop what they are doing and sit down in front of a PC. Whether you’re out in the garden or curled up in bed, you can now stop James Blunt and start The Gorillaz at the click of a button.”

 

Previous versions of PlayerPal supported the control of Windows Media Player. Version 4 brings all the same PlayerPal features to iTunes and Sony PSP users. Rather than scroll through a big list of tracks in your player, PlayerPal presents a list of album covers for you to browse. You can then filter and navigate your music collection by artist, year or genre and add individual tracks or whole albums to your playlist.

 

PlayerPal has several different skins each designed to work well on a certain type of browser. You can select a different skin on each device you use (e.g. PDA, PSP, laptop etc). As well as the new PSP skin, version 4 also has a new skin called BigBrowser. This skin is optimised for use from a desktop browser such as IE, Safari or Firefox. The original PlayerPal skin was designed for use on a PDA like the Dell Axim or HP iPaq.

 

PlayerPal 4 was launched without publicity on the PlayerPal website in March. This allowed time for existing customers and trial users to provide feedback on the major addition of iTunes support. This feedback has been rolled into a point release of PlayerPal (version 4.2) which is now available on the PlayerPal site.

 

You can download a free trial of PlayerPal from www.playerpal.com The free trial has no time limit, but will mask 50% of your albums. PlayerPal is $19.95 to register and is available to purchase online at www.playerpal.com
