MP3s to PDA
Hi all

Having problems copying mp3s to my Mio 168 PDA.

It states in the instruction not to drag and drop from explorer but copy them across from Windows Media Player. When I try this they just do not seem to want to copy !!!

Any ideas

Thanks

Mike

Does it give any error message? Is your PDA recongised by WMP as connected?

Re: MP3s to PDA
On my MDA Compact you can open up the 'Explore' tab in Activesync and copy/paste any MP3's onto the device itself.

You should then be able to open them from File Explorer on the PDA.

Re: MP3s to PDA
Just get a card reader and drop them onto the MMC card.
They will play fine then.
Hope this helps.

The file is transferred across to the PDA but when I click on it within explorer I get this message..............

There is no application associated with 'Song name' Run the application first, then open this file from within the application.....

Even if I try this the file is not shown within the appliaction..............only seems to happen the MPEG4 files and not Mp3

Any more ideas

Thanks
