PocketMatrix

Hi<br><br>This question may have been asked,  but I haven't seen it?<br><br>Can you stream mp3s from a domain or shared folder/folders on a network through PPC 2002 or earlier to WMP 7 or 8 I'd like to be able to see my existing Playlists or browse my MP£'s on my network and play them on my iPAQ 3600 series?<br><br>Anyone?<br><br>Many thanks<br><br>Jon

I don't know...(I mean, I guess it should work...) but wouldn't<br>it be great to have an old Computer with Linux on it, sharing some files, so that I can access them by network and watch movies in my car ?

Already done that, but not with PPC I have a 10" touch screen running windows 98 and WinAMP as the player.  It also syncs with the house wireless lan which is why I want to try and get streaming for the PPC.  I'd like a facility to browse web files and choos files off these but nothing bar DIVX at the moment and this only supports one URL at a time.<br><br>If you get any where please let me know<br><br>kind regards<br><br>Jon<br>

that's cool...but I thought about an old computer like a pentium with 90mhz or sth like that and a 6gig hard drive with some movies specially coded for my iPAQ!<br><br>But I don't want to buy a pcmcia jacket and a network card...

I found that with win98se running on a p133 laptop rigged from the back of the car to the touch screen it was just fast enough but unfortunately it is highly distracting.  I cannot imagine watching any movies although the system can, unless stationary of course.  I find that i choose music then switch the screen off or turn the brightness down.  I would however prefer an ipaq streaming solution.  Wireless LAN cards seem to be the way to go as far as connectivity goes but the applications are a little further behind.  Have you found any streaming apps bar the obvious like Divx http://www.projectmayo.com/projects/det ... rojectId=9<br><br>or Network Media player ?http://www.geocities.com/scansolutions/<br><br>

sorry don't want to appear th<br>ick but what is pm2's?<br><br>I agree the price is high but it took about 2 weeks of searching over 6 months to find it that cheap and at that quality with the touch screen

pm2 is the next version of pocketmatrix which never seems to get here. its an in-joke at pm.

yes these were an option but the are a capasitive screen as opposed to resistive they cost a little more. I wanted resistive asyou can use a stylus or gloved hand with it
