What program do you use? I have JPilot on one machine and KPlilot on the
other. I use Palm Desktop to synchronise at home, so I can probably get an
idea of what your HotSync software looks like and supports.
Can you install programs successfully? If so, you can send the OSS Ogg
Vorbis player to your Palm memory, then send FileZ to your main memory. You
can then tap "Home" on your Palm handheld, open the menu at the top, go to
"App", then "Copy" to copy programs to your card (FileZ can achieve the
same).
Once you have some programs on the card, which means you can install
programs successfully, let me know. There are methods/applications for
passing any file (e.g. Ogg) to your handheld, which should then allow you
to accumulate your songs on the card.
