Hello,

I often use my Axim X50 for podcast listening.

At present, I dowload mp3s on my PC and then I move them to my SD card via ActiveSync (WinMobile 2003 sec edition)

I've read about better solutions like this http://www.yorkspace.com/2005/09/30 so I would like to by an SD/CF reader.

I would like to know if the card reader solution will work flawlessly, because I'm a bit worried buy a message I read when I copy a file with ActiveSync: the window's title is "Copy And Convert to mobile device format..."

So my questions are:
- what does it mean "Convert to mobile device format"?
- if I simply use a Card Reader (I guess WinXp will show me it like some sort of additional drive, let's name it G:) and I copy my files on the G: drive, the Axim will immediately recognize those files?

Thanks in advance for your precious help.
