How to read off of host device through PPC

mikldom · #1 (**permalink**) 07-24-2007, 03:49 AM

Ok.. I have a PPC-6700, in a mount attached to my dash, I also have an older Fujitsu Tablet PC mounted to my dash using as a Carputer with GPS, etc.

I also have a Dual Head Unit with Full Bluetooth functions.

I can stream and remote control WMplayer on my PPC from the radio, but, I want to be able to access files/music from the Tablet PC..

Is there a software or program to allow me to 'browse' or map to my tablet pc's drive when plugged in via USB?

Basically, I want my PPC's WMPlayer to be playing MP3's off the computer that the usb is plugged into..

How to do this?

Thanks!!!

You could try setting up a home network on your TabletPC, and sharing the folder your music is in. I've never had any luck using WMP to stream to stream anything off the PC though (some error like file not found). TCMP works fine for me and I can even make playlists off of the PC's shared folder.
