Requires a device supporting PalmOS© 5.0 streaming sound. It means that there is no and won't be any support for devices with limited sound capacities (OS < 5.0 devices)
Owners of NX/NZ/TG Cliés will need to install a little hack created by CliePet emulating the OS 5.0 sound APIs. Get it, it is free. The result might not be perfect (clicks), so it is advised to experiment before purchasing.
