Media Manager ($10) from Toysoft is a Palm OS system utility for managing media files for HotSync and IR beaming. With it, users can also set default applications, so you can set paths for files that don't have associated programs.

Media Manager also lets you define the extension types that it will receive from IR, up to 32 total. And it enables you to change default applications for receiving files using Exchange Manager or IR receive, so you can save a .Wave file, for instance, on an expansion card with the Tungsten T rather than RAM, as RAM is the default set by the PDA's voice memo software.
