PC Microsoft released the first widely available downloadable version of Windows Media Player for Palm-size PCs on February 29, 2000. The old version only played Windows Media files. The new Windows Media Player can directly play both MP3 and WMA files. It lists both file types simultaneously and lets you create play lists containing both file formats. E-105, the Compaq Aero 1500 and 2100 Series, and the HP Jornada 430se.
Music files can take up many megabytes of space.
Of course, if you are going to move megabytes of MP3 and WMA files to and from your CF card, you should also consider buying a CompactFlash card reader. We reviewed USB and parallel port CompactFlash readers in the UpLink Accessories area. Its major shortcoming is that it does not automatically dim the LCD screen to conserve power like Conduits' Pocket Player does. Its minor shortcoming is that is does not provide visualization plug-ins like Pocket Player. I enjoy watching the visualization plug-ins that Conduits provides for its Pocket Player.
