Do You Use Your Pocket PC For Music?
In preparing for my trip tomorrow I was getting my music arranged on my Pocket PC. I do know though that some of my fellow Mobile Device MVPs use dedicated jukeboxes, like the Ipod or Dell's MP3 player. I know I have nearly the room other devices have, but with the space available on my memory cards, I have room for almost 17 hours of music, which for me is plenty, especially since I am very likely to listen to some recently purchased CDs multiple times.  Windows Media Player on the Pocket PC coupled with CEPlaylist for powerful playlist creation and arrangement fulfills all of my needs, and I don't have to carry an extra device or charger. :way to go:

Should say "I know I don't have nearly the room other devices have..."

I use my Pocket PC to listen to music on a daily basis but every once in a while when I want to listen to something that isn't on the SD card at the time, I'll use my jukebox.

It's really the only purpose of my BE-300 (OK, not really a PPC, but it can be made to function like a PPC2000 device) now that I have my MobilePro 780. Of course, I don't use WMA�OGG Vorbis and MP3 for me! (But let's not start a huge debate on formats; I'm sure we've all seen enough of those :roll: )

Since I have a broad taste in music, and what I want to hear is largely depending on my mood, I love having my 20 GB -and growing- of MP3 files with me almost at all times. It is soooo cool to be able to choose from your complete CD collection. Only if I want to travel light, I plug in a filled CF card in my 2210, and that's good too. Like Ed, I like listening to new records more than once in a row, to really get the hang of them. So it's just a matter of having the right things on that card.

Currently, I do play my music on my axim with a 1gb cf card. It does the job niceley, but I'm looking to buy one of those 20gb "mp3 players" (I actually want an "ogg player") so I can put all my music on it and take it with me. The player that I'm probably going to end up getting is the neuros (http://www.neurosaudio.com). It's a big device, but it plays ogg files and has quite a bit of features.
If only I had one of those 24gb cf cards for my Pocket PC, then I wouldn't need a separate player.

Curious... why do people listen to music? Does music provide a needed distraction from reality? Does music provide something to concentrate on when otherwise you would get agitated with boredom? I have some music, sure, but I can't even imagine filling gigabytes with it. Of course, I encode in 56kbps MP3, so... :lol:

I don't listen to music on it much, but I do use my iPaq to listen to audio books on the hour long commute to work

I actually listen to the radio the most, but for mp3s/wmas I use my iPaq if I'm not at my computer. Other wise my 5.1 audio setup is better than headphones.
