Do you commute a lot?
Do you use your Pocket PC as an MP3 player?
Then this ActiveSync extension might be for you.
The Playlist Sync extension for Pocket PC 2003 copy MP3 and playlist files to your Pocket PC at scheduled points in time - always keeping your PDA updated with new music.
Playlist Sync will activate while your PDA is in the cradle and copy MP3 files from your Desktop PC to the device. You can configure when it should copy files and how much data should be transferred.
Because copying large amounts of data to the PDA through your ActiveSync connection could take a considerable time, you may wish to adjust the settings so files are only copied during your lunch-break hours or while you're asleep.
Though not required, it doesn't really make sense to copy large amounts of MP3 files to your PDA main memory, a memory expansion card should be used.
If your MP3 files are spread over several directories on your Desktop PC, you just need to point Playlist Sync to the folder, where your Winamp playlists are located. Playlist Sync has support for the following playlist sources:
- m3u: Winamp 2
- b4s: Winamp 3
- asx: Windows Media Player
- pls: Shoutcast / Icecast
Once new files have been copied to the PDA, a "Windows Media Player for Pocket PC" playlist is generated and activated on the PDA. This means that all you need to do to listen to the new music, is to open the Windows Media Player and hit the "Playlist" menu-button, then select the "Rotating Playlist" item from the menu in the top. From now on your music list will always be up to date.
