Overview

PalMusic Desktop is a tiny Windows application that receives midi songs directly from the Palm and saves them as Pc midi files.
Using this application allows you to playback the songs on your Pc, or import them into your favourite Desktop music editor/sequencer.

System requirements

PalMusic Desktop requires a Pentium Pc with Windows 9x.
In order to function, PalMusic Desktop requires properly installed and configured Palm Desktop Software (provided by Palm Computing), HotSync software and a serial Palm cradle.

Installation

Extract the zip file to a temporary directory, launch Setup.exe and follow the standard instructions during installation.

Transferring songs to Pc

PalMusic Desktop uses a direct connection with PalmPilot through the serial port. It automatically detects your current HotSync configuration and disables/enables HotSync "Local Mode". For this reason it is FUNDAMENTAL to have a properly configured HotSync and a serial cradle in order to make PalMusic work.
To transfer songs to Pc, launch PalMusic Desktop on the Pc, put your Palm in the craddle and launch Noter, press the "Start" button on the Pc and select the "Send to Desktop" command from the Song menu in Noter.
After receiving the song, PalMusic prompts you with a standard "Save as" dialog box, allowing you to choose the location in which to save the midi file.
To reactivate HotSync, just press the "Stop receiving" button.
