Now i use my ptr2 to do some pretty nifty recordings. But you all use this pocket to listen to web radio? Just give me one idea of how you get this thing to work. is it a wireless connection?
It must be. Then you must put those ASX things into a list on the pocket? What fun. Thanks. At 05:22 AM 4/2/2011, you wrote:
