"This application will discover via Rendezvous any iTunes running on Macs or PCs on your local network and allow you to browse the library or playlist and then stream MP3s directly to your PDA. Example uses include connecting your PDA headphone jack into a stereo in another room in your house (I have mine streaming music to the bathroom). Update 0.4 released 23 September 2005 Install intructions: WiFiTunes is in a cab file so you install it just like any other cab file. Download the cab file to your pc. Connect your pda using active sync and choose explore so you can view the files on the PDA. Copy the cab to your pda. On the pda use file explorer to find the cab you copied over, its likely to be in your my documents folder. And tap the cab with the stylus. Connect your pda to your wireless network. Run itunes on your pc, and enable sharing in the preferences. Run wifitunes from the programs menu on your pda. Choose your itunes library from the libraries menu. Choose a playlist, and press play."
I only use MP3, i will have to check it out sometime
hehehe, i am the one that had a few credits on napster, so i download the songs, burn them to a cd, then rerip them to my pc so that i can have them in none protected MP3 format and do what i like with them
I didn't even notice that when I was reading about it. But now that I think about it, all mine are also in .mp3 format. I buy them form iTunes and then use the Hymn software to convert/unprotect them. Still a neat program, and the price is right! (free)
Nah, it's going to be like that for a while, WM5 is not going to have much software especially since it just came out, but the more popular it becomes, the more software will be more ready for it. Trust me, in a couple of months, WM5 will have tons of software, companies have to produce software for it. This is the new WM2003, all the new PPCs will have it.
ok I got wifi-tunes to install but I still have to figure out how to get it to detect my library through wi-fi...let me guess...I need bluetooth on my computer don't I?
p.s. I really have to figure out how to hold the axim...it really hurts my wrist after a while
first wififofum and now this! cool! I'm sure this'll be great once its out of the beta stage. I installed 0.4.1 and can't skip to next track.. getting quite a lot of "unexpected error"s.
^ just add files to library in itunes...it should ask if you would like to convert .wma into .mp3...
ok, thanks, i dont like to use itunes though, cuz i have a rio carbon instead of an ipod, i should have ripped my cds into mp3s to start. i ended up having 3 gb free anyway on my rio carbon 5 gb and mp3s only take up about double the space so i would have had 1 gb free
