How to play music off home network and more??

wadd3456 · 07-09-06, 05:23 PM

I realize this is a stupid question but after doing some searching, the exact answer wasnt easily found. Whats the easliest way to play music over my home network using the axim? A couple years ago I was doing it, but since forgotten what the heck I did. Can i us TCPMP to look at my shared music folders on another computer on the network??? If so, does anyone want to walk me through it

Also, as a side item, Id like to know if this is possible....

When I am at work, I dont have permission to get on works secure wireless network. So, would it be possible to set-up a peer-to-peer connection (or whatever its called) between the Axim and Laptop? Basically Id like to pull music off the laptop so i have freedom to move around the office with the pda in my pocket.

Thanks! :approve:

Ok, I came up with BizzDev's netuse, but unfortunately, I cant find a working download link anywhere. Someone got this? Or, is there something better out now?

Thanks

Here is how I do it.
1) You need a wireless network with a shared drive
2) You need a file manager on your axim that can map a drive - I use Resco but you can get totalcommander (right name?) for free.
3) TCMP can access the maped drive and play your music.

I have wm5 and bizzdev isn't supported so I can't help there

The Ad Hoc network should work, I hear its a little tricky to set up and I have not done that yet. My axim is not allowed on the corp net either so I use bt file transfer to switch music.

benots4, doesnt BizzDev's Netuse accomplish all that in one?

I'd use 40iSrv2 server on the desktop and 40iPlay Client on the device. Benefits include the best sound (undisputed champ), and able to handle 40k files (at once) with ease, fast and effortlessly.

I have never used bizzdev so I don't know what it would do. I do have a copy just never installed it. I have Resco file manager installed and I can map network drives, so what do I need bizzdev for?

I STILL cant connect to the home network in any fashion.

Help :(
