How
do I know what version of Palm OS is on my handheld?
To find out what OS version you are running,
go to the handheld's home screen by pressing the home icon then the
menu icon on your handheld. Under the App menu, select Info. Then click
on the version button. At the top of the screen you will see a version
number.
If your handheld doesn't have menus, doesn't have an Info menu, or appears
to be made out of stone, then your version is too old to run ittyMIDI
Player.

How many MIDI files can I hold on my Handheld?
Commercial MIDI files commonly range between
20K-100K. So you can expect to hold around 30 songs per MegaByte (MB).
Most recent PalmOS devices come with 8MB, so you can expect to hold
240 or more depending on what other applications you have. MIDI files
accompanying instruction books are generally smaller and thus more can
fit.

that extra memory.
