Palm O/S is reluctant to allow files other than PRC's and PDB's to be sent
to your Palm. If the files are neither applications nor application data
files, they might add clutter to your Palm filestore (no directories) or
'clog' your Palm, draining it from free space.
Palm's software is trying to 'help' you or supposedly protect you, even if
you know *exactly* what you are doing. Moreover, as far as I know, Palm
Desktop and its installation facilities still disallow you to send files
directly to an SD card (or any auxiliary storage for that matter). The us-
er must ship it to the main memory (RAM) instead.
With software like RealPlayer for Palm you should receive a Windows (also
Mac I suppose) tool which allows you to send music files directly to your
memory card. I am not sure about movies, but I assume that similar desk-
top-side utilities exist. They might come with the movie-playing applica-
tions.
If you use Linux this might actually be simplified as pilot-link (the very
latest version of it) has an option for sending merely any file to main
memory or the SD card. Something like:
pilot-xfer -p /dev/pilot -i *.mp3 *.avi -D /Palm/Media
Hope it helps,
