Real Player Question - Treo Forums

DaveH · 02-27-2006, 11:37 AM

I am a new Treo user. I bought my wife one ..... and then had to have one myself. So far it has pretty much changed the way I work (I am a Technology Facilitator in an Elementary School). It is no longer a neat toy, but essential to my work and daily living.

I do have one question. I know everybody talks about using TCMP, Busker, PocketTunes, etc. But Palm did include RealPlayer. Before I start playing with the other MP3 players, I want to squeeze the works out of RealPlayer. I have figured out how to get the MP3s on my card, but can anyone tell me how I can create Playlists on my Desktop computer and copy them to the card? I find the Desktop version of RealPlayer a bit cumbersome to use and would like to go around it if I can.

Also, does anyone know of any good links for using "podcasting" with the Treo?

Thanks in advance.

Dave

P.S. I have been a lurker on this forum for a couple of weeks now. I have learned a lot and appreciate the hardwork and dedication of the moderators.

Welcome!
I really don't think there's a (simple) way to transfer your playlists to RealPlayer... I think that's why a number of people move to third party players.
What specifically are you looking to do "podcast-wise" with your Treo (listen? broadcast?, etc)
