I installed Real One Player onto my Palm Tungsten T. I didn't buy the MP3 cable from www.palm.com, and I'm wondering if I have to buy it or if I can just put the MP3's on to a regular memory card. AND if that is possible, how?

Quick answer, you do NOT need to buy an MP3 cable from Palm. You can hot sync it to your memory card. To install Mp3s on your memory card: Step 1: Open up Palm Quick Install from wherever you stored it. (if you can't find it, click Start, click Find, Click Files or Folders, and type Palm Quick Install. Then double click it). Step 2: Open up the folder that contains the Mp3 you want to install. Step 3: Click and drag the Mp3 file from the Mp3 containing folder into the bottom half in Palm Quick Install (the part that says Expansion Card) Step 4: Hot Sync (warning, this might take a while since Mp3 files are kind of big in comparison to Word documents and such). That's all folks.

P.S. To access the song on your PDA (don't ask me how to remove the song from your memory card, tho): Click on RealOne on your PDA. It should either pop up automatically or else you can probably search for it. Ciao.

It will take quite a while to transfer MP3 files this way... I tried it for the first time last week and I loaded up 21 songs and it took about 40 minutes to transfer everything... I'm going to look into a Dazzel USB reader and see if it will accept the memory chips from the Tungston... that should be pretty quick

I got a Dazzel card reader...Sam's Club had them for $20.00... Hooked it up to the PC...ran the software that comes with it...plugged the expansion card from my Palm and promptly loaded up 28 MP3's...it took me longer to choose what I wanted to load up than it did to actually load them...load time about 10 minutes...maybe...
