Chapter 13. Listening to Digital Music
| IN THIS CHAPTER
Few technology topics have consistently permeated the news as much as digital music the past few years. First Metallica made headlines by being one of the first major artists to literally go after their fans over illegal digital copying of their music. Then it was Napster getting destroyed by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), only to be rebuilt with the same name as an entirely different service. New headlines on this front will continue to appear as the technical and legal issues surrounding digital music continue to change and ultimately lead us toward a new method of entertainment distribution. The good news for the Treo user is that you can store digital music on your device and play it whenever you want. Granted, there are still a few technical snags to contend with, but overall the digital music scene for Treo devices is quite positive. In fact, the device has built-in media player that you can use to play music, providing it's in the correct format. Even if your music is in a different format, however, you still have plenty of options for playing it on your Treo device. This chapter clues you in on how to do it. |
