Listening to internet radio via wifi and HP iPaq 112
in [Pocket PC]

From: Marts on 2 Feb 2010 22:34 I tried to listen to the following radio station via this link: http://www.3aw.com.au/displayPopUpPlayerAction.action?url=http://streaming.mytalk.com.au/3aw Main website is www.3aw.com.au I cannot get it to work on the PDA. Aside from the fact that the unit is so slow when opening web pages and then trying to navigate around them to find the appropriate links to click or tap on, it just doesn't want to work. I then tried it with this radio station: http://www.triplem.com.au/melbourne/player Same thing happened. Is there a trick to getting a Windows Mobile PDA (or even a smart phone) to pick up internet audio streaming via a wifi connection? These stations are 2 hrs from where I live. Local radio is rubbish, so it's good to be able to listen to these when I can. Particularly if I'm out in the workshop doing something. I'd just plug the PDA or MP3 player into the aux in of my shed's portable stereo.

I've never tried with on Windows Mobile, but that could be a problem. I tried finding an alternate link, but could not. > >Same thing happened. > >Is there a trick to getting a Windows Mobile PDA (or even a smart phone) to pick >up internet audio streaming via a wifi connection? You've got a few possibilities, although I'm not sure any will let you hear 3aw. Several programs written for Windows Mobile provide access to Internet radio. I tried Resco Pocket Radio (http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/radio/). It's good if you like the stations on their list. I wasn't thrilled with them, and was not at all happy with support for stations I chose. Only about half the links I found worked; I couldn't figure out how to set the presets, and the whole process of adding links was very awkward. Right now, I'm listening to WFMT (classical) on an Axim x50 running TCPMP (http://picard.exceed.hu/tcpmp/test/) and connected via wires. Note that TCPMP was (and may still be) free, but has been replaced by Core Player http://coreplayer.com/), which is not free. I can also happily listen to Internet radio using Core Player on newer devices connected via wire. I have _not_ been able to listen using wireless on any of the three devices I've tried. No error message. Sometimes nothing happens. Sometimes the player hangs. I can get links to stations either of two ways: 1) Browse on my "desktop" until I get a link that supports, then save the _link_ and copy it to my device 2) Browse on my device until I get a similar link, then save it directly. Either way, a large majority of the links worked. However, I just spent a few minutes trying to find an Australian radio station that would support my setup. No luck. > >These stations are 2 hrs from where I live. Local radio is rubbish, so it's good >to be able to listen to these when I can. Particularly if I'm out in the >workshop doing something.

From: Todd Allcock on 3 Feb 2010 23:59 As Manuel said, you need the Streamcenter website to find the mobile friendly links. The new URL for them is http://tuned.mobi, and it has an Australian stations link sorted by state. Both stations you want are there: http://www.radiofeeds.net/pda/aro/vic.asp As Robert said, the various browser plug-ins many stations use are the problem. Tuned.mobi aggregates the mobile-friendly URLs at one convenient site.
