February 18, 2005 - EA has been jamming its games full of music for years now, and with its EA Trax feature, they took it a step further by allowing gamers their choice of dozens of songs out of a game's soundtrack. The EA Trax feature is now coming to the company's PSP games, and with Pocket Trax, EA is going further still with some cool features that make use of Sony's new handheld.
Pocket Trax will also act as a portable soundtrack for the game -- although the tunes will not be playable in the PSP's Music menu on the XMB dashboard, you can have the system play all the tracks in a row (there isn't a play-all button, but once you're in the Pocket Trax mode, the tunes will play through.) Standard battery saving features, depending on your personal settings, will also kick in or manually available so that you can turn the screen off and toss the system in your backpack to run the game's music as if it's on your own MP3 playlist.
