Helio 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.

Developed and hosted in partnership with RealNetworks, Helio Player allows users to import then manage music, videos and pictures in one place. A full-featured media manager, Helio Player's sleek user interface features three tabs for organizing Music, Video and Pictures. The application offers features including:

• 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.
