I guess the instability should be the 68k's fault. If using an arm processor and Palm OS5, there are quite a few softwares available for playing mp3, like pocket tunes and aero player, both support background play.
If the the application can be downloaded as prc file and hotsynced into the device, the application must be hardware independent. Or the application is using the APIs only, which are available for all. The newly released palm audio patch for TT did sth to support mp3 and background play as reported by some website, but I cannot find any details about it like documentation. --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], "Aaron Ardiri" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Thank you for your reply. > > > > But I am a bit confused.
