How do you play music on your palm

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops.pilot (More info?)

What format do you save your music in for playing on your palm. I know
most common will be mp3 format and using realplayer to play.

This can also be done easily with Grip. I suspect that the MP3 patent issues
have expired by now, but OGG is still preferable. If only it was more
widely supported...

You can play OGG files with AeroPlayer. The free version of AeroPlayer plays
OGG and you need to pay for MP3 compatibility.

My Tungsten has gone mono as well a few weeks back. The headphones jack
only sends a signal to the right side, but not the left. Poor hardware.
