Playlist Sync
"Do you commute a lot? Do you use your Pocket PC as an MP3 player?Then this ActiveSync extension might be for you. The Playlist Sync extension for Pocket PC 2003 copy MP3 and playlist files to your Pocket PC at scheduled points in time - always keeping your PDA updated with new music. Playlist Sync will activate while your PDA is in the cradle and copy MP3 files from your Desktop PC to the device. You can configure when it should copy files and how much data should be transferred. Because copying large amounts of data to the PDA through your ActiveSync connection could take a considerable time, you may wish to adjust the settings so files are only copied during your lunch-break hours or while you're asleep..."

I have been waiting for something like this for a long time. Unfortunately, I will not be able to use it for two reasons:
1. It's for PPC2003, I have 2002.
2. Most of my files are in .ogg format, not mp3.
Guess I'll have to wait a bit longer

Not freeware though, is it?

Ehh. Good idea, and probably perfect in 2.0. I had a lot of trouble getting it to recognise my playlists -- in fact, I couldn't get it to recognise them at all! It consistently downloaded from ten to twenty songs, and no more (regardless of whether I'd told it it could use all the space o*n my CF or SD cards). And the songs it uploaded bore no resemblance to what was in that playlist.
Also, I rely a lot o*n WMP's ability to compress music o*n the fly, and to remember what level of compression I want to use for each storage space (e.g. heavy compression for my spoken word files o*n SD, less compression for my music CF card). This conduit doesn't access that feature, merely copying files from one place to another.
In the end, I stumbled across a nice feature in Windows I'm going to use instead of this: I can just right-click o*n a playlist o*n the desktop and tell it to copy to my device, and the songs all queue up nicely in WMP, and are stored in their own folder o*n the device.
P.S. The playlist ActiveSync conduit is freeware.

I gave this add-on a try and it worked just great to randomly sync songs to my storage card. My only problem was my Activesync icon keeps spinning when it's enabled. Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me?
