Helio today announced the launch of its Helio Player PC software, which lets members manage their personal collection of music, videos and pictures on their computer then transfer to and from their Helio devices. Available at no extra charge to Helio members, this extension of Helio Music gives members the ability to also purchase songs on their PC then transfer them to a Helio device via USB, or purchase songs over-the-air via a nationwide high-speed 3G network for delivery to both their device and their PC for one price. |  |
- Music: download, import from subscription music services, listen, manage, create playlists and transfer tracks to and from a Helio device
- Pictures: organize, create albums and transfer to and from a Helio device
- Video: organize, watch and transfer to and from a Helio device
Helio Player supports MP3, M3A and WMA audio, as well as WMV, MPEG, AVI, MPEG-4 and H.264 video. Making it easier than ever to move media between a PC and a mobile device, when a Helio device is connected to a PC via USB, Helio Player automatically converts music and videos being transferred to a compatible format for mobile playback.
Helio Player allows members to download a copy of any song that they purchase over-the-air from their Helio device to their PC for no extra charge. This includes previously purchased tracks, which will be available for download to a PC with the launch of Helio Player. Members can then play songs on their PC and transfer them to other compatible portable music players.
Helio Player integrates the popular Helio Music Store, which offers a robust yet simple experience, creating the streamlined look and feel of a virtual trip to your favorite music shop.
With Helio Music Store, members can:
- Search and Browse: hundreds of thousands of tracks in a wide variety of genres from major music labels
- Stream: preview tracks before purchasing
- Purchase and Download: full-length songs and albums
- View: information including artist bios and images, top songs and available albums
- Discover: similar artists, top music, song recommendations, new releases and reviews
- Manage: account information and view purchase and download histories
- Sort: create playlists and transfer to compatible Helio devices
- Gift & Beg: buy a song for a friend or ask for music you want from another member
Helio Player is free of charge for Helio members and compatible with PCs running Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Vista operating systems and Helio devices Ocean, Fin, Drift and Heat. Most songs purchased on a PC are $0.99, and songs purchased over-the-air are $1.99, which includes dual-delivery to a Helio device and Helio Player on a PC.
