downloading mp3s and movies?

daenar14 · 11-14-03, 06:19 PM

I just got my brand new HP Ipaq 4155 (got it yesterday) and i have never really downloaded music or movies to a ppc before. i was wondering if i needed to do something special with ohh say the MP3 song "Get Low" to get it onto my PDA. if so, how do i do it? and if not, what do i do instead? also, i was wanting to download XXX, not porn but the one with Vin Diesal or whatever his name is. i really like the explosions, but don't want to convert. will any website or free service (NOT KAZAA) let me download this directly? Thanks in advance

Once you have activesync installed and your PDA connected, you will see 'Mobile Device' under My Computer. Just drag the MP3s there.

As far as movies, you're going to have to rip and re-encode those yourself. Such a service wouldn't be legal in the US. There was one place a long time ago (at least in PDA terms) where you could download old movies (like 'To Kill a Mockingbird'), but I don't know what happened to it.

daenar, take a look here at my site BigDs Video Guides for step by step instructions (including pictures) and you can download some old movies like "To Kill A MockingBird" and alot more at PPCVIDZ plus they have alot of streaming content also.......Note the address for PPCVIDZ will be at http://www.ppcvids.com until Wed. the 19th because of updating their servers...But then will go back to the PPCVIDZ address....
