Working with audio files on a CompactFlash
Card
Because songs and audio files can use a lot of storage memory, you might
want to store them on a CompactFlash card. When you store songs and audio
files on a CompactFlash card, the files must be stored in a folder called "My
Documents." In addition, it is recommended that you use Microsoft Windows
Media Manager for Pocket PC to transfer files from your desktop PC to the
storage card, because Media Manager can automatically resolve security
protocols for packaged content. For more information on installing a
CompactFlash card and working with files on a storage card, see the
CompactFlash cards section in chapter 8.
