Streaming Mp3s

What is the best way to stream MP3s to my pocket PC. I have wifi and
bluetooth connections, I can see the files on my home PC but they will not
open from my HP2210.

TIA

Scot

I've used GSPlayer for that.
Just get the share established and point GSPlayer to the directory and
turn it loose.

If the women can't find you handsome,
they should at least find you handy.

Technically this is not streaming really. This is just playing from the file
system. Streaming would require a server, like Windows Media Encoder, and
it's then accessible from a client, like Windows Media Player to simply
point to the IP address of the "server". The problem with a true streaming
solution is tha is ressembles an Internet radio: from your device you don't
have control of the playlist, but the server does.

Thanks guys

Streaming or not GSPlayer is just what I was looking for.

Who needs an Ipod :0)

What am I doing wrong? I installed the GSplayer, but not quite sure on
where it is on my ipaq 5555. A little help would be appreciated I can't
seem to find a help tool on the website...

I installed GSPlayer but I think I have a network problem. I can't see
my PC even from Resco Explorer.

My PC is 192.168.168.35
and my iPaq 2210 is 192.168.168.36

I'm running WinXP Pro on the PC. I'm sharing the My Music folder in My
Documents.

Can anyone point me to instructions on how to get these devices
talking on the network?
