The Return of PlayerPal: Version 4
Posted by Damion Chaplin in "SOFTWARE" @ 03:00 PM
"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."
We originally blasted PlayerPal for its hefty price tag. With the included support for iTunes and the PSP, and its new lower price of $19.99, PlayerPal seems like something I might actually try. If I used iTunes or something silimar. :) There's a free trial available, but it masks 50% of your albums. If you use iTunes, you might want to give it a shot. Let us know what you think if you do.
