There are a few programs that are essential for every Palm user. And in my opinion, Pocket Tunes Deluxe is an essential piece of software.

The program is an fantastic music player, but it can do so much more. See Six awesome things you didn't know Pocket Tunes could do, for example.

Now, the program is even better with the version 4.0 improvements that include:
* An internet radio catalog for music streaming with an internet connection
* A new improved user interface that is very pleasant and useful
* Album art - I never thought I'd care, but it's actually very nice. Some podcasts even have album art on their mp3's
* Better sound quality whether playing mp3's or streaming music

In addition, they have an interesting link to AudioBooksForFree, which seems to warrant a much closer look. It's audiobooks with professional narrators and producers that are offered in low quality versions for free, and high quality at reasonable prices. Probably mostly public domain book titles, but with good narration it might just make the classics exciting.

I highly recommend this program, along with a large SD card for a library of music. You can even run it with StyleTap software on Windows Mobile. Who needs an iPod?!
