You would probably appreciate a piece of software called PPC Tablet. That allows you to control your PC remotely from your Pocket PC - I've also made an iTunes profile which you can download from their site. Alternatively, you may want to give Terminal Services Client a go.

Hello... can someone help me with WiFi Tunes install??? I have downloaded the CAB file and "dragged & dropped" it into my windows file of my Pocket PC. THen I have the "Games", "iTunes", "StreamPlayer", "WiFiTUnes" and "fmodcallbacks" folders all put into the windows/start menu/programs folder in my Pocket PC directory.

Ok. What you need to do is this:
copy the CAB file into a folder on your PPC. Use file explorer to open the CAB file. This will install the program. You should now have a WiFiTunes icon in your Programs screen.
On your PC run iTunes. Go to Edit->Preferences and choose the Sharing tab. Share your Library or Playlists.
On your PPC run WiFiTunes. You should now see your PC in the drop down list in the upper left. Select this.
If you still don't see your PC then you need to do some trouble shooting to see if your PPC can reach your PC wirelessly. Make sure that there isn't a firewall blocking your PPC from getting to your PC. Try downloading something like Pocket Ping and ping the IP address of your PC to see if you can reach it from your PPC.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Graham

I like the idea of this program. Others have questioned it use, but if you don't have a hardware solution, like myself, this would help you extend your PC based music library without having to buy extra hardware. Just plug your PPC into your stereo or walk around in your wireless covered area and you have full extended access to your music.

That said WiFiTunes in its current form is VERY basic. There are none of the standard music player functions like Stop, Play, Pause, Backward, Forward and nothing to turn off the screen or stop the unit turning itself off when running on batteries. It also doesn't seem to go on to the next song after playing the selected song so you have to keep tapping on each song to play it.

I find it very frustrating to be listening to a song and then have the unit turn itself off in the middle or to have to keep clicking on the next song, but this is an Alpha version product so I guess these things are to be expected. I'm interested to see where they take this product.

Cheers,

Good work on this program! As Janak suggested, submit it to news and we'll do up a front page post all pretty-like

Can someone help me with this ?

I have installed Wifi Tunes on a Pocket PC running Windows 2003 CE, and I have enabled sharing of my Itunes music library on my PC.

I am able to view the playlists, files etc. from my Pocket PC. However, when I click on the filenames nothing seems to play.

In the case of music I have purchased through ITunes, nothing happens at all. In the case of other mp3s in my library I get an errror message saying "unusual error during receive".

Does anyone have any ideas why this isn't working ?

indiekiduk or anyone else - I downloaded the cab file to my pc desktop, transferred it to my pocket pc, and then attempted to open it. I got a window that says: Setup Failed. The file "\My Documents\WiFiTunes_v0.2.CAB" is not a valid Windows CE setup file.

[Gomedog]

Nevermind everyone. I downloaded it again and it worked this time. Corrupt download the first time perhaps.

I downloaded and installed WiFiTunes on a Dell X3 Axim running PPC2003 and get the following error:
A managed ArgumentException
occurred at Applications::Run+0xf

Application::Run+0xf

Ok to terminate

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
