if you have a bluetooth fone...
how do you set the pc up with bluetooth so you can tf mp3 files to the fone wireless?
does it need special pc capability or just a d/l plugin?

do ya have a usb bluetooth gadget or is it built in? you will need either to be able to bluetooth because its hardware! i had software with my usb one which works great - but i also do use the windows built one just for quick file transfer - luke in control panel settings youll need to make your phone discoverable. hope thats a help  $ilvers |

very useful page here: support.microsoft.com/kb/883259my bluetooth dongle was £3.99 from an amazon shop and works great... can pick up my phone from another room and transfer speeds are better than i expected.... ya need the usb thing 1st, then plug it in - should then be able to use control panel/bluetooth settings to pair your phone - simple and easy to do...if ya get any software with the usb then just as easy to use that. what phone are you gonna use to bluetooth to - cause a google search may find programs that allow extra advanced features for your phone - eg,use your phone to control the mouse on your pc, or use your phone to control media player or powerpoint presentations.... useful progs like that!  $ |

just found this:
You plug the "dock" connector to the bottom of your I-Pod (it's dock), and now you can plug the USB cable to your PC's USB port, whether you have 1.0 or 2.0 (2.0 is just faster). Also, now you take the extra fire-wire cable and plug it to your charger, so you can keep charging while your using your I-Pod on your PC. The alternative is buying a fire wire card and installing it in your PC, a little more expensive, a litte more work.
