Get a mediascape onto your mobile device, the traditional method
Download a mediascape
Download the mediascape called; ‘Doubloons’. This will save the mediascape on your computer as a zip file. Choose the directory you want to save the file in. (You could create a My-Mediascapes directory and save all your mediascapes in that).
Open the zip file. Click the Open button on the download complete window. This will open up the zip file in a
WinZip? window.
Select Extract. Choose the directory you want the expanded mediascape to be in. (Keep it in your My-Mediascapes directory).
Transfer the mediascape to your mobile device
Now you want to copy the folder to your mobile device. There are several ways you can do this. The easiest is using the mscape library
ActiveSync?
You connect your mobile device to your computer as described earlier in this section, and wait until the
ActiveSync? icon (a circle containing two arrows) in the lower right corner of your screen turns green.
Right click on it and select ‘explore’. This shows the folders on your mobile device.
Drag and drop the mediascape files you have just downloaded (a file with the extension .msl and a corresponding content folder) into one of the folders on your mobile device (for example ‘ipaq file store’ or the SD card if your device has one).
SD card
If both your mobile device and your computer can read SD cards you can copy your mediascapes onto the card and transfer it that way.
Open up the File Explorer on your computer and go to your mediascapes directory. You should see a folder in which there is a file with the extension .msl and a corresponding content folder. Select these files and copy them to your SD card.
When this is complete transfer the SD card to your mobile device.
