mOcean for Palm OS has been updated


MotionApps has released a minor update to its popular mOcean media player. If you play mp3s on your Treo, this is definitely the way to go. It's "ipod-ish" interface makes for a pleasant navigational experience when browsing your music.

mOcean is free to use if you don't mind some annoying ads, and the random mandatory update of them. If you want to be ad-free, you can snag it for $29.99.

I wasn't able to determine what was fixed in this update. It does appear to be a minor update, however.
Some of the main features of mOcean are:
  • Synchronize your iTunes music collection to your smartphone

  • Create and manage an unlimited number of playlists

  • Browse your music by Song Title, Artist, Album, Genre, or Playlist

  • Listen to the music in the background, while using another program

  • Make full use of both your touch screen and 5-way Navigator or use keyboard for quick shortcuts

  • Store music on your SD/MMC card or other mass storage device

  • Use card reader software implemented within mOcean

  • Automatically pause playback when you remove your headphones

  • Automatically resume playback on headphone insertion

  • Automatically pause playback when your phone rings

  • Convert any audio content, including podcasts, into MP3 format to play on the go

  • Listen to live Internet radio stations, Podcasts and Audiobooks

  • Choose from a library of recommended stations, Podcast feeds and Audiobooks

  • mOcean includes a photo library player, allowing you to create photo sets to present as slide shows

  • Play video files that you have on your smartphone or have downloaded from web and copied to your device through Palm's Quick Install utility

  • Personalize your smartphone by changing and customizing skins, setting background image or selecting interface that fits you best
