PLay mp3 files on PPC via BT?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Not seen this one asked before.....assume my PPC and PC are
connected via BT, is there any way that I can play mp3 files
stored on the PC, on the PPC (and ideally take the output
through the headphone socket to an amp/speakers)?

Okay....maybe my question shouldn't have been "can you", but "how
do I?" I've downloaded the demo of Pocket Player but can only see
files on the iPaq or the storage card. I think I have made a Blue
Tooth connection to the PC but am not sure.....are there any walk
throughs on accessing Windows shared directories via BT on PPC?

The shared directory is syncd like pim data so I don't think this is
really a solution. A shared directory merely copies the data from the pc
to the pda via active sync. You can either set up regular usb or
Bluetooth activesync and the results should be the same.
