hi everyone,
I have just been given a rather old ipaq with no manual and as such there are a few things i would like explaining. The model of the ipaq is the 3760.
I want to use my ipaq as an mp3 player, so I have bought a CF expansion jacket and a 2 gig CF card and I have put the .wmv files on the CF card. However, I cannot figure out how to play these files that live on the CF card, through media player on my ipaq. The only way I have found so far is to copy the files I want to play to the same directory that media player resides on the ipaq, but this only leaves room for about 10 songs. So how do I use media player on my ipaq to play files that reside on my CF card?
I have also installed some software on the ipaq (tomtom and something else), but if I leave the ipaq off for a while (like a few weeks) the software is not there when I turn it back on, and I have to re-install it. In fact the state of the ipaq is as if it has been reset. Is this usual behaviour? If so, is there a minimum number of days/weeks that I can leave the ipaq turned of before everything gets wiped off?
Finally, I would like to use bluetooth, but the 3700 series do not come with bluetooth functionality. The CF expansion jacket I have bought is a "Bluetooth Wireless Pack with CF Card slot". Does this mean that I can simply pop my ipaq in the CF jacket and I automatically have bluetooth functionality, or does this mean that I need to buy a CF Bluetooth card first and put this in the jacket?
Sorry if these questions seem a little dumb to you, but I am new to ipaqs and like I say I do not have a manual.
Many thanks to all who reply,
-Paul
