20GB of Music streamed to your PDA

I owned a Toshiba e750, and it had usb hosting (along with a number of flaws). I did get USB hosting to work, but I never really put it to much use. However I did find something useful for other PDA owners. using rosco file explorer 2003 and pocketmind pocketmusic you can do the following.

Using a PC hooked up to wifi, share a folder full of MP3s
enable 'my network places' in rosco
then using pocketmusic open the shared folder
--- you now have 20GB of mp3s available to you, they will stream flawlessly on a 400Mhz toshiba with only a 1-2 sec delay, the only problem is pocket music takes a while to load all of the ID3 tags, and while it took at most a few minutes, my drive to school was only 15min.

*note, if this is public forum knowledge, just direct me to that post, I am a newbie so please be kind.
I will update this post as soon as I find out more.
I would like to get a wifi enabled 20GB hard drive installed in my car, so when my PDA is with me I can not only listened to streamed songs while driving, i can also copy them to my SD card so i can listen to them between classes.

unrelated, does anybody know how to get a cheap microdrive that WILl work for the x51v? again I havn't searched all of the posts, but if you know it a quick link is preferred

at least i didn't post a dum / obvious / sarcastic remark on every single post today like most other newbies do
