Songs sound best when encoded at higher bitrates. RealAudio files sound good at 64kbps or higher. Mp3's may sound "watery" or distorted at bitrates less than 128kbps Some Tungsten T Palm models need a patch for full CD quality sound. This patch is usually installed by default when you install your RealPlayer for Palm. If sound is very "rolled-off" with little treble, you may need to re-install this patch. Contact PalmOne for more information or go to

http://www.palmone.com/us/support/downloads/ to see the latest updates. You can fit more songs on your SD card by choosing "configure" -> "always convert tracks" from the Palm plug-in for your desktop PC. The files will be smaller but sound quality may be affected
