Playing Music Off Network Drive

Hi Everyone -

Can someone please tell me how to set up WMP to let me play songs that are stored on a network drive?

I can map the drive from my axim, but when I click on a mp3 file from FileExplorer, it does not play. I also can't see the files from within WMP.

I can create shortcuts to the network files and execute them, but I was hoping to be able to create playlists that reference the files on the mapped drive.

Thx!
george

if you install Resco explorer, you can then map your folders so it shows up as a folder under "My Devices". That way when you open WMP is will show them in your playlist and you can play them. WMP may take sometime to load all the songs though depending on how many you have.

Thanks!!!

I'll check this one out. I may of found a workaround too...I followed a link to a tutorial and figured out how to stream audio from my PC to the PPC. Very cool!

Another free tool that hasn't been mentioned is called NetUse. It's basically a port of the old DOS command that maps a network drive. I know you can use Resco even after the demo expires, but if you choose to keep it I hope you register it as it's a good program.
