buy a 512Mb SD card, copy your albums on to it and viola music everywhere not just at home.

anyway I prefer streaming Music/Sports/talk Radio content over wifi with realone player and WM9.

I've installed Apachi on my desktop (Windows XP), mapped all the MP3's appropriately, and use GSPlayer2 to load playlists and play the MP3s

In details:

On the PC:
- Install apache from http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi
(used default configuration)

On PPC
- install GSPlayer from http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA032810/index.htm

Using IE on the PDA, browse to the desktop PC - clicking on the .m3u play list files causes IE to download the file and start GSPlayer, which then plays it very nicely.

Various tools can be used to generate the play lists.

Doing this way gets around having to map network drivers/etc - in theory could play music from my home desktop from anywhere!

GSPlayer also plays internet radios two - try http://www.uscountryradio.com/

In Resco Explorer there is an option to have the network show up as a folder, rather than a root. Enable this option, and the start Windows Media Player and all your shared content is already loaded into the playlist as local content.
