The WMP today plug in looks awsome. The sleep timer looks great too. Can't wait to get on my Windows computer to download and install this.

There are cab installers available alongside the Windows installer.

I'm on a Mac right now.

I'm on a Mac right now.

Right, which means the CAB only files can be copied over from a Mac via one of the sync tools on the Mac and installed from the Pocket PC itself.

I don't have PocketMac. Plus I'm cradleless ( it's on my Windows ) and I don't have bluetooth on my PPC. Thanks for the help though.

After installing the set. My WMP Plugin shows up on Todaypage without the buttons, it shows Click here to play, Click on the plugin will launch WMP. Any ideas?
This also happens on PocketMusic Today Plugins...

Well, why didn't you say so in the first place? ;)

Can anyone describe the "My Documents" feature? It says it combines the my documents of the storage cards and the iPaq memory to create a "2 level folder structure." What's the folder structure like? Thanks!

It looks and works exactly as if you opened pocket word. Except that you see all file types not just word, txt, and html.
So if you tap on the all folders menu at the top and select, say, business you only see the files in the business folder. And just like pocket word if you have a /My Documents/Business and a /SD Card/My Documents/Business and a /CF Card/My Documents/Business all of the files in those folders show up when you select the business folder from the menu.

Hope that wasn't too confusing.. ;)

It works just like the file browsing features in pocket word, excel, notes...

I'm a big fan of PHM's stuff. I use his TrayLaunch app from his PowerToys collection. It's become indispensable. Between it and Magic Button, I was able to really clean up my Today screen.

Even though PHM's apps/utilities are free, he is accepting donations via Paypal. I sent him some money when I decided to keep using TrayLaunch. If you use his software, I encourage you to support his work also.
