You don't need a separate MP3 player to listen to music on the go. Just sync your MP3 files from your computer to an expansion card, open RealOne Mobile Player on your handheld, and tap Play.

What's MP3?
MP3 has become the most common digital music file format because it delivers good sound with relatively small file sizes. Your handheld plays songs formatted in MP3.
Plug and play
Your handheld has a small speaker and a headphone jack. You can also plug amplified desktop computer speakers into the jack for a great stereo experience. All you need is an expansion card.
Play music
Tap Songs to see a list of playable songs. Select Playlist to create a new list of songs you want to play or to edit an old one. Use the Options menu to get help.
