Xdrive announced a streaming music feature for various PDAs, including the Treo. Xdrive Music is available to aall Xdrive members and works like this:

1. Install a music player on your Treo that supports the streaming of .mp3 (audio) and .m3u (playlist) file types.
2. Upload music files to Xdrive, and use Xdrive’s features to create a playlist.
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 hit play–the music will stream.

Obviously this service works best with an unlimited data plan. Xdrive costs $9.95 per month for 5 gigabytes of space (roughly 1,000 songs) and there is a free 15-day trial. The company is attempting to market Xdrive Music as a ‘Virtual iPod’ because it allows on-the-go music listening.
