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.
