Xdrive announced today the availability of a new service that allows people to enjoy their digital music collection via their Treo cell phones and any Palm, Tungsten or Sony Clie PDA.

To use Xdrive's music service, Xdrive members should follow these steps:

1. Install a music player on your Treo or PDA that supports the streaming of .mp3 (audio) and .m3u (playlist) file types. Xdrive recommends Pocket Tunes Deluxe (www.pocket-tunes.com).
2. Upload music files to Xdrive, and use Xdrive's features to create a playlist. Members can have Xdrive's tech team upload their songs by using the Mail in a Disk program.
3. Download your playlist to your local computer and use the palmOne Quick Install software to transfer the playlist file to your phone.
4. Locate the playlist on your phone using your music player, and play. The music will stream from Xdrive to your phone.

"Xdrive is no longer just a storage box for your files," states Xdrive CEO Brett O'Brien. "As today's digital lifestyle becomes more pervasive, we are creating platforms and applications for people to do more with their files. Last year we launched a digital video sharing service, this month we launched Xdrive Music, and next month we plan to roll-out a photo album service similar to Ofoto and Shutterfly."

Xdrive costs $9.95 per month for 5 gigabytes of space (roughly 1,000 songs). For avid music fans, Xdrive offers 10 Gigabytes for $19.90. There is no additional fee to use the Xdrive music service. Xdrive offers all new subscribers a 15 day free trial period.
