Music Services for PPC 2003/Axim x5

Are there music services that let you download subscription music to the x5 running ppc 2003?

I looked at yahoo music engine with it's "unlimited to go" subscription. Makes me a little mad that I can subscribe to the pc for $5/month but have to pay $10 to use it with a mobile device.

Not even sure it will work with the x5 - 2 people from yahoo said no, another said yes. I asked 3 times different questions and specified my device & os. I'm awaiting reply to a 4th inquiry trying to clarify.

They have a free trial for the pc but not for the mobile so i can't even try it to find out without buying it.

Suggested alternatives? And they wonder why we are attracted to p2p filesharing.....

While I am not aware of any applications that allow this, mainly I think it is against many if their file security EULA's. Plus the RCAA would have a cow.

Also I am not sure you would want this at all as well. Since file protection of the music files would prevent you from saving files to another device. IF the companies ever allowed this to happen to PDA's.

The closest thing I could recommend to you that would allow you to LEGALLY (I am no lawyer so cant say this is 100% true or not) download music and transfer files would be use Resco Pocket Radio, and find online radio stations you like from ShoutCast. Pocket Radio would allow you to listen too content, and allow you to save ("record") songs to your PDA. The link above will let you demo the product.

Personally, I think turning an OLD computer with plenty of hard drive space into a personal file server for your “Music Collection” is the best way to go. You can use active sync to copy files to your PDA every time you swap out music on your “want to hear” folder. This is what I do personally. But I understand if everyone doesn’t have extra computers around their homes, or know how to set this type of thing up.

I hope this gives you some other options to work around your current dilemma.

Thanks. I just discovered that I could put an fm tuner to my x5, load up a 1gig cf card with mp3's and a few divx videos of shows recorded off tv & compressed, and play thru my cd player in the car. I don't want to buy another device; my axim does just fine.

I don't see why they can't come up with something like they have for ebooks - where you register your device with the site and download subscription music to it.

Just looked at napster and it looks to be the same as yahoo. More expensive - $14.95 a month for their "togo" service, and no mention of pocket pc.

I may still look at napster - at least for the free services they have. One of the lures of the downloading is the ability to try songs and artists, genres, etc., before buying. Napster lets you listen to a song 3x then you have to buy it or subscribe to keep listening to it. Perfect for trying a new artist.
