is there FM radio available for the wing
nope. you would need a physical chip for that, which the wing does not have. Internet radio, however, is possible.
or you can just get one of those earphone where it has fm radio built in
i cant get the internet radio to work on my wing i tried yahoo radio
I'd like to use pandora. but i doubt it would work through the site. anyone tried it?
theoretically, it because it streams media, you should be able to use it.
You might be able to directly input the url of the stream you want to play.
It is recommended that you do this on Wifi
I got this to work the other day, and it works fine....kinda.
1) You must first get your network connection up and functioning. If you're using GPRS/EDGE, you must first establish the data path for TCP/IP over GPRS/EDGE...and you do that by launching Pocket IE and going to any site you know of.
2) Once you've mad the connection and fired-up GPRS/EDGE, close IE and use a media player....any player besides Windows Media Player! - for some reason, it does not handle URLs in a nice fashion (like http://radio.webchat.org:8000 - just happens to be the stream I produce and DJ on!). Use something like MortPlayer instead of WMP.
That's about it.
Enjoy!

Some good radio streams that play using WMP...
You can use the folling links to search for you favorite radio station, if it's broadcasted over the internet...
1.) http://www.tuned.mobi/ Pick your country, then search for the station by frequency or name...
2.) http://mobile.surrealnetworks.com/streaming.htm This one doesn't have many stations, but the few they have are good ones.
3. www.tinytube.net This one's an added bonus, it's like youtube for pda's. Not exactly streaming, but it is possible to stream if you configure the device properly(from what I understand). I just download them and play them back. Generally speaking if the video is on youtube, it's on tinytube...
Enjoy...

hey guys, could anyone point me in the right direction here? I like listening to BBC Radio2 and u can listen online. Is it possible to listen to it over GPRS/3g on the exec. I have given it a try but fails to work. Any advice? Thanks Euan
You need the Real player to work, and unfortunately as far as I know there is not yet a WM5 client available.
I'm pretty sure the existing WM2003 version will work though.
You should be able to find it somewhere on www.real.com, but you will need to d/l the relevant .ram file from the bbc website and open it in the player on your exec.
Good luck

BBC Radio - mini How to guide for ppc
First off I tried this succcessfully on o2 Exec using Wifi.
In Theory it should work using 3G/GPRS connection, if your got a reasonable inexpensive data tarrif ??? :shock:
-----------
1. Get hold and install RealONEplayer for pocket pc from
www.real.com/player/mobile
the version I am using is 2.0.0.28 and currently not 100% WM5 optimised the only thing I've noticed is it doesn't like lanscape mode, so use it in portrait only.
2. Accessing the Radio
Open up PIE (MIE) on you pocket pc and browse to the BBC radio page
www.bbc.co.uk/radio
Click on the appropiate radio link (eg "Listen to Radio 1")
A popup dialog box will appear saying you don't have real player installed ....blah blah blah...just ignore it and click cancel (The website is setup for pc users)
Back on the web page click on the link "Listen using stand-alone Real Player"
The download dialog appears, make sure the tick box is ticked and select SAVE AS, save the .ram file to anywhere on your ppc.
After the quick download realONE player should automatically start and play the radio stream.
3. ram files :twisted:
I have attached the .ram files to Radio 1,2,3,4,5 and World Service here
so if you havent got time to download them just simply copy them to your ppc and open them up in realONE player.
(note .ram files are only small files which tell the realOne player where to find the stream for the audio. These files are valid and working as of 26-1-06)
Hope that helps.

Thanks Chalky - works a treat! 8)

More Streams
4. A few more links attached ...
BBC radio KENT, BBC radio LONDON, Virgin Radio LIVE, Virgin Radio ROCK, Virgin Radio GROOVE (all .ram files)

Could anybody, please, post here CAB file of Real player since I can’t even run the setup.exe...

radio on universal
i have downloaded the real player and the ram files, but when I try to connect real player says loading and then gives the following message "response or data from server timed out".
My PC next to the universal on the same wireless network plays the radio great.
Help
Thanks
Steve
Same here, any ideas?
Thanks
Euan
mine works fine now.
I have not done anything other than a soft reboot, though I could not say that is what has cured it, it may just be coincidence.

realplayer works fine on wifi listening to radio, but when i tried over the gprs it times out.
i dont know if the phone speed can support the required data rate if you get a good signal, or streaming music just requires too much speed over gprs/3g for universal to support it.
Has anyone had this working over the phone connection.
steve
Re: BBC Radio - mini How to guide for ppc
Thanks for all the helpful links, but I'll wait until there's ladscape supporr etc.... and I think the companies like Real should pull their fingers out of their butt too!

According to my A-E Wi-Fi radio, BBC Radio 2 and Radio 4 stream at 44 kbps and for some reason Radio Ulster streams at 32 kbps. I suspect that these would be at the outer limits of GPRS although it should work with 3G I would have thought.

Went through it, but could not get what is there to do.
Really amazing that no solution has yet been planned.
All the main BBC radio stations are available to stream via windows media player, have a look at the following site for the relevant links:-
www.radiofeeds.co.uk
anyone know of a good radio tuner? I need something to listen to the local stations while on my way to work... Any recommendations?
if you have internet access, you can log into radio4pda (i believe that is the site name) and stream tunes, there's another really popular one, but the name eludes me at the moment (been a long day), also for a few bucks you can buy resco radio (just google it)...damn i wish i could think of the other site's name...it huge, has several genre's, and is streaming radio...someone help me out...am having a total brain-fart! I know the radio4pda offers "local" stations, as it is broken down by state, the others i'm not sure about.
http://www.tuned.mobi/ <----- radio4pda link
The WIZ has no integrated radio tuner. The only one way of getting radio is over the internet (WiFI or GPRS - as mentioned in the previous post). If local channels are available online then there shouldn't be a problem - except your NETWORK PROVIDER is charging you lots of money for internet connection.
Other than that: there are some good radio applications out there. One of them: RESCO RADIO.
You can also try Shoutcast radio.com, or just do a Google search for free internet radio. I have about 30 stations downloaded to my Storage card under the folder I created as "My Radio". I can access the stations from GS player, TCPMP, or Windows media player. Most of these downloads are pls. files.
Cingular 8125
ROM 2.25.11.1
I switched from a 700p to a HTC Mogul and miss only one thing now. There was this little known secret to get free MobiTV and Sirius music by going to these websites ...
Code:
http://qtv.mobitv.com/sprintTVlive.mcd
ALL Sprint TV Live from MobiTV (including cable channels like TLC, Discovery, etc ...)
Code:
http://ss.siriusradio.com/Main_Menu.mcd
SOME Sirius streams too.
On any Sprint Palm device, when you go to either site in Blazer, it will open Kinoma player and give you the channel lists. No cracking or hacking necessary, these are public streams and do not bill your account.
Is there a way to stream .mcd data into Windows Media or equivalent?
Hell, the other way is much more convenient
I have half of it working.
If you install styletap and kinoma into style tap, you can view the streams.. but you must open the sprintTVlive.mcd file and manually enter one of the RTSP streams into kinoma..
any ideas how to get blazer into styletap?

yeah.. whats that?
i think airjer is referring to cracking the applications.
hate to spoil the suspense..
Would have been nice if everyone would look around first.... .
Thanks for the link , but I did look around first and already saw that thread.
That method needs you to remove dll files and install scripts. This method, you do not modify MobiTV's software and potentially could use an off the shelf streaming player. Much more preferred IMHO.
Also, not confident cingular cab will work with all providers/phones. This method will work any phone w/ web connection.
Also, I believe Sprint TV live has more stations.
Also, this is Sirius not XM.

Hi anyone know of a good open source, free internet radio streamer? the microsoft one is so poor its unreal. I would like to have something a little better.
regards
Hi Aley,
I'm using MORT Player since Years. You only have to find out the steaming URL and edit the Mort Player Internet-Radio List. It's so easy and there are a lot more functions!
I never used WinAmp.
Chears,

Try KinomaFreeplay. Works very well.

I use the free GSPlayer, it handles all my MP3 and OGG streams.
Thanks guys for the great posts, is there a way to import these links/ favs to the players or must i manually go to the folder where i saved them to and copy them from the device to pc and visa versa
Here are some good websites for music:
1. http://www.thestreamcenter.com/pda/
This site is the best of the three and offers more streams than the other two combined so be sure to check this one out first. This site plays the streams in windows media player.
2. http://www.mobtuner.com/
3. http://www.htcradio.com/
These sites work well with GS Player and yes you can save the music streams locations right to your phone to load up quickly with GS Player.
the pandora client works nicely for me. I can post the cab here if you guys cant find it
I vote for GSPlayer. It faster, has less hangups and is easier to use to browse to my radio links folder.
all the above programs are good for streaming radio..... but i've just tried pocketlastfm which works like pandora but you can use it outside of the US. you put in a genre or artist and it continually plays tracks from similar artists/genres...... it's really good!

I´m trying to find the cab for Pandora.
I´ve found one but it seems that it´s not working fine on the Diamond. Some errors on the start screen visual basic lines... I hit ignore and it appears it connected just fine. I managed to get the keyboard out to log me into pandora, and I could see my radio stations, but when tryied to hear to one of them, it hang out on "connecting"...
Can you post your cab here? or can you pm me with the cab?
Thanks.
kick in the $30 and get Kinoma. Totally worth it!
Hi,
Wunder radio. Loads of stations from around the world. Small fee, around £10, perhaps just under.
Go to frenchkiss fm using internet explorer and click on the winamp symbol (its the icon which looks like a yellow lightening bolt, just before the iphone icon on the right of the page) now as long as you have coreplayer, you can listen to some bangin tuneage, been a massive fan for years. May work with other players you have on the Leo, but only have core will try other sites, will try to provide a core link dedicated to it if i can
Try shoutcast radio as well for more choice, and once clicked a radio station choose to use own media player. dont know what usage of your data service plan this wiil use up, so use wisely and will try to find out, could be minimal or excessive so be WARNED
do you mean frenchkissfm.com ? the frenchkiss.fm url doesn't work.
Yeah sorry ignore the . between frenchkissfm, and now found out kinoma freeplay gives you access to the shoutcast radio stations, as far as i can tell all of them, sweet
wunder radio
Just get this from market place. It's quality, and has loads of good house/trance stations. ibiza global radio is my personal favourite.
Cheers
Ian
