NormSoft has Released Pocket-Tunes for wm5/6/6.1! I have been testing this software for a couple of month's now and I simply love this small alternative music player. It streams radio, plays aac, aac+ files, and syncs directly with iTunes software on your desktop/laptop.

• Brand New User Interface NEW in 4.0
  Enjoy the sleek new user interface. You'll find easy access to all of your favorite features. Easily navigate the interface using one hand using the 5-way control on your smartphone. Enjoy quick access to selecting songs on your device or browsing the Internet Radio catalog. View full information about the current song you are listening to, including album, artist, title and even album art. You will find it a pleasure to use!
  Album Art NEW in 4.0
  When your music includes album art images, Pocket Tunes will now display them beside the song's title. Tap on the album art to enlarge it to take up the whole screen, or tap on the song title to see the album art along with information about that song. For maximum compatibility with your album art, Pocket Tunes displays JPEG album art that's embedded in the song file or included as a separate file in the same folder.
  
• Playback of AAC and aacPlus Files NEW in 4.0
  Pocket Tunes now natively supports AAC and aacPlus formatted files and streaming audio. AAC and aacPlus enable smaller files and better quality, allowing you to fit more music on your device. If you've copied your music collection from your CDs using iTunes or WinAmp, you will appreciate the ability to play those files on your phone without converting them like other music players require.
  Even Better Audio Quality NEW in 4.0
  You probably thought the audio quality was great with Pocket Tunes 3. Now it's even better! With drastic improvements to the volume boost feature, you can now enjoy louder, virtually distortion-free playback in the loudest environments. And with the new support for aacPlus, enjoy crystal-clear CD-quality radio on your existing cell phone data connection. Or use software like WinAmp to rip your CDs to aacPlus for maximum fidelity.

• Improved Internet Radio Playback NEW in 4.0
  Pocket Tunes was already the best way to listen to Internet Radio on your smartphone. In 4.0, enjoy many additional enhancements. Pocket Tunes now collapses "cluster" stations into one entry on the screen. If one of the servers for that station isn't working, simply expand the list and select another one. In addition, 4.0 improves compatibility with software that makes your home music collection available on your phone. We've also added numerous other under-the-cover improvements such as improved detection of the streaming format, better synchronization when displaying the current song name from a radio station, improved buffering and skip prevention, and lots more.

umm...14 day trial....$37.95 for this feature rich player! Nicest I've seen, and it will play my sprint music store downloads, Protected wma files.

What a rip. $37.95 for a player that isnt as feature rich as $19.99 pocketplayer. I bet they dont sell many of these. Players arent as limited as in the Palm world

[scottymomo]

[chicubs3794]

my combonation of the internet, TCPMP, and Audio Manager is just AS good, and FREE!

You mean the msi installer file? Early in the beta I had problems with it and the itunes sync, I had to reload my laptop hdd. I thought that was fixed though... After that I just played with the actual player. I'm not much of a music guy, but I do like listening to the comedy radio stations!
