Use Your PDA As An Mp3 Player

You would have used your PDA to store all your important business contacts, synchronize appointments and project deadlines and as a personal planner. You are able to go online and check your mails or just browse the net using your PDA. However, what if you wanted to catch a break and just do nothing for a few minutes? Wait, your PDA can help you there too – it works beautifully as an MP3 player. All you have to do is learn how to use your PDA as an MP3 player.

• The very first step that you will have to take is to actually store all your favorite songs on the PDA. For this, you can transfer the songs from your computer onto a memory device and then plug that memory device into your PDA. You will now be able to copy all the songs from the device to your PDA. Of course, you could also simply download the music from your computer if you have the necessary USB cables. You could also mail the music to yourself – just check the mail on your PDA and save all the music sent. Take a look at the user manual that came with your PDA for the different options that are available to you to transfer music to your PDA.
• You could use a memory card that contains all the songs that you want to listen to. You would be better advised to carry a set of memory cards so that you do not have to keep downloading the music from the computer.
• You will also have to ensure that the files you are transferring can be played on your PDA. Many a times, files that can be played without any problem on a stand-alone MP3 player cannot be played on a PDA. In such a case, you may need to format those files separately. Again, your user manual should help you understand what file formats should work on your PDA and what will not.
• Once you have transferred your favorite songs to your PDA, you will need to arrange them so that you can easily find the song you are looking for when you need it. Sorting them into playlists is the simplest way of arranging them. By simply tapping on your screen, you can now get the songs to play on your PDA.
• One of the most popular MP3 player software on PDAs is the windows media player. As the player plays a song from your playlist, it will automatically display the name of the song being played along with other interesting information such as the artist and the album. The media player allows you to pause and stop by simply tapping on the relevant buttons displayed on the screen.
• If you would like to listen to some music while you work on your PDA, you could always do that. However, you should bear in mind that this could slow down the overall performance of the PDA. If on the other hand, you do not mind a slightly sluggish performance so long as you can enjoy your songs, you may enjoy the best of both worlds.
