VBR MP3's aren't working neither. does anybody know why? it's really hard for me to organize without this feature. Last edited by Nebuchadrezzar : 10-15-2003 at 04:27 PM.

However, it is the ONLY real choice for Clies. I have heard that there are a few programs out there which allow you to do some extra organizing. However, I personally have never used any of them. One possibility (again, I haven't tried it) is at http://www.aibohack.com/clie/albumswap.htm.

CliePet made this I think? Myself, I don't bother as I keep my mp3s organised on the PC and just download what I feel like listening to at a given time. __________________ Sometimes understanding is the booby prize - Neal Stephenson

It corrupted my SD card a few times. And it was the ONLY application that would cause regular lock-ups on my iPAQ. I think people assume all Pocket PC's have to be reset multiple times a day. I think it's just Pocket PC's that use WMP ...

One thing I will say, my PPC has other players that are out there, such as pocketTV and pocket player. Pocket player is OUTSTANDING, it supports TONS of music formats, skins, great visualizations (screen saver like), great E.Q. features and more. On older versions of WMP, you guys are right on, it sucked.

i think the choice of players is bigger with ppc. it would be good for me if the OS distributor would not be microsoft. but it is and i care about tomorrow. i dont want that microsoft got the monopol in mobile devices as well - i will not make the smae misstake again... and hope others agree.

Now I will be the first to tell you M$ software tends to be bloated, and yes they do tend to screw up a good thing or take forever to fix someting broken, but, in this case I must stand up for the newest version of the PPC WMP (its not perfect, but its better than anything Sony or Palm have preinstalled). Peace

If you plan on listening to a fair amount of music, buy a card reader that does both MemoryStick and CompactFlash. They copy the songs to the storage VERY fast. The USB2.0 models are even faster. __________________ "Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way... turn." -Better Off Dead
