the Hand Held devices?

1) Yes, that one should work fine for WM2003 2nd edition devices and
later, where the WMP10 object control is loaded.
For devices earlier than WM2003 2nd edition, or where WMP10 isn't on
the device, the earlier desktop WMP6.4 classID and object model is
applicable. However, the 6.4OCX isn't installed on the devices by
default and must be added manually.
Even then, it doesn't work too well. You can get it in this package :
http://www.pocketpcdn.com/libraries/wmp.html (click the .exe link, not
on the WM Licence homepage link, which is broken)
2) WMP (any version) on the PDAs doesn't support MPEG playback. This
will probably make point (1) useless to you. You need to supply a link
in the browser instead, and hope the user has Betaplayer/TCPMP
installed, which can playback most types of MPEG files.
