Using activesync to copy MP3 toa storage card

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

The copy dialog say "copy and convert" because it will convert those file
extensions that needs to be converted. MP3s will not be converted in anyway
though so they will always be compatible no matter how you copy them to the
SD card.

Since ActiveSync only support USB1.1 the speed is not that high. If you get
an USB2.0 compatible SD card reader you can copy the MP3s alot faster (if
you have USB2.0 ports on your PC that is).
