4.4.2 Media Players

Windows Media Player 7.1

URL: http://www.Pocket PC.com

The iPAQ comes with Microsoft Media Player version 4 installed but that version is

very limited in its functionality and an upgrade to version 7.1 is strongly

recommended. One thing that seems to confuse many users is that after upgrading to

version 7 the old version is still there. That is because it is stored in ROM and can’t

be uninstalled. The user can on the other hand remove the shortcut to it. Media Player

supports playback of most audio file types such as for example mp3. The support for

video is a little limited because it doesn’t support MPEG files. Unfortunately there is

now support in the media player for the mp3 streams found at

http://www.shoutcast.com

. There is however another alternative if one wants to listen

to streamed radio on the iPAQ. Live365 is a company that has launched beta testing

for its exclusive Player365 technology, providing users with streaming MP3 player

for the Pocket PC and access to listen to all of Live365's Internet radio stations

through a wireless connection. It is available for download at

Pocket TV

Pocket TV is the ultimate application for viewing MPEG files. It supports both

playbacks of locally stored files as streaming over the Internet. There are many sites

with movie trailers and even full movies. Examples of web pages to start at could be:

http://www.filmspeed.com

or http://www.pocketmovies.net. Good example movies

can be found by going to the url:

http://www.pocketmatrix.com/multimedia/video/clips/ and choosing one of the “one

tap streams” there.
