MP3 via BlueTooth

---

I need to listen to MP3s throught the bluetooth headset.
I don't need a good sound quality - it's just for speech.
I just want to play that MP3 continuously (again and again) so I'd be able to put on paper as much as possible.

So is there a way to play a MP3 (or any other sound format) using the BT headset?

i think it require a bluetooth profile which the xda2 dont currently support

I use a SouthWing BT headset, bought on Ebay.co.uk for around £35.
It supports both the BT handsfree and headset profile, which the XDA2 supports too.

I can listen to MP3's or use it to take or make calls. You should be able to use any BT headset that supports the headset profile, most only support the handsfree mode.

MP3s through Bluetooth

---

I have a Plantronics M3000 headset when I bonded it with my XDA II I selected the option for the headset profile from BT Tools. When I switch on the headset mode from the Today Screen I get a bleep on the headset but no audio is transferred to the headset it still comes out of the speaker. Do I need to tweak any other settings?

Im guessing that the Plantronics is not fully compatable with the headset profile.

Thanks for any help.

OK. Where can I get the required BT profile? Does the Widcomm driver have it?
It normally works on my PC - I can listen to all sounds form PC throught the BT dongle and BT headset. So it's just a question of driver. Where can I get it for my XDA2?

Can u provide more details please? I couldn't find your mentioned headset from Ebay.co.uk

This ie the companies web site - http://www.south-wing.com/

When I was setting up the pairing on my XDAII it recognised the earpiece as having the headset protocol and asked if i wanted to connect using the headset profile or the handsfree profile, I chose the headset one. It still works perfectly as a handsfree earpiece but also allows me to listen to anything played with the windows media player, which i use for MP3's.

It also works with a PC using a bluetooth dongle, I use it as a handsfree phone for my home phone.

how does it handle music ?

i mean does it play one channel of the stereo
or does it play joind mono ?

to me listening to music with 1 ear is pretty useless

can you please also elaborate which rom version ? pocket BT tools installed or not? which BT stack?

the headset and handsfree profile are supported by MOST BT headsets
my jabra 250 suppprts both profiles, but I am never able to channel windows media output through the BT headset ((

so any info would be very insghtful

Hi captin,

I had a look on the website. It didn't mention that the handsfree can support xda2. Also, there's no info at all that it can be used to listen mp3.
Can u show us more how you do it?

Thanks
