VZW Vcast Music on TP2 - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps

I am very interested to see if there is a way to run the VZW Vcast Music service on a TP2. I have read some rumors of people using the Rhapsody to go on the TP2's Memory Card, but I would love a confirmation on this.
I am using Rhapsody on my BB Storm currently and have my TP2 due here Friday.
Anyone?

The TP2 is not a VCast capable phone.
I have looked on the Imagio for a CAB file for it, but could not find one.
On that same note, I used to have a Moto Q9m which had VCast Music.
I copied the CAB to my Ozone and although it installed, all I get when I run it is "Connect Error. Request Timed Out."
Sorry...

Actually, the TP2 will sync just fine with Verizon's Rhapsody to Go service, but it does not have the standalone apps for downloading direct to phone or song ID...
So in essence, it works for 90% of the Rhapsody service...

Yes, with Rhapsody it will work, but it won't run the VCast Music app / service.

AOL Music Subscription Works on Hermes!

..........
I've been wanting to get a subscription service that will stream to mobile devices (I mainly use Rhapsody on my pc, and it too will NOT work with mobile devices even though you have the option to use it through a browser-based interface) so I read your post and signed up for the 30 days trial, and sure enough it works over 3G as well.
The only problem I have is when I go to the main page through PIE on my Tytn, it automatically goes to a mobile version of the site, and I can only select certain artists that have been pre-selected based on my genre settings. There is a search line at the top where you can enter artist or album, but there is no Enter or Go button, and pressing Enter on the keyboard does nothing. In other words, I can't navigate to any specific artist, I can only listen to the pre-selected ones. Do you know how to get that search bar to work? If I go to the page on my desktop pc, the interface is totally different and getting to a specific artist is no problem.
I'm not sure what to tell you on the WMP thing... I have no issues with WMP thus far...
Neither of you have tried orb? I can't say enough about it...all of your mp3's on your PC at home are available to you on your phone 24/7. The only drawback is getting the mp3's and always leaving your PC on. It works the same way- you choose your song and it streams to WMP. This will also work for Videos and TV (with the proper setup, slinbox is far better though).
I haven't had any problems with this using wmp.
Patman,
Yes I do have Orb and use it quite a bit, and I do love it!! I stream my music and my recorded TV from my media center pc at home. BUT, the reason I wanted a subscription-based service on my phone is because you can stream any song, any artist any time. I own about 6,000 mp3's that are on my harddrive on my pc at home that I can stream on Orb, but with a subscription-based music service like AOL or Rhapsody, I have the choice of about 2.5 million songs, on-demand, at my fingertips.

Yeah I figured there was a reason.
Does it cost anything per song, or is it a time-based ($xx.00/month) service?
I'm glad others are interested. Subscription music means you pay a flat fee per month (usually around $10) and you can listen to any artist, any album, any song in their entire library whenever and (hopefully soon) wherever you want. It's the holy grail IMO as far as portable music. Especially when you don't want an iPod/MP3 Player, but rather a convergence device like this. The problem is that the flash memory is very slow, and very space limited. Streaming music from a subscription service is the way to go. Orb is a great idea, but you still have to download the songs first. Me personally, I'm fed up with downloading organizing and managing music files. It's just become tedious. I'd rather have a jukebox available at all times with every artist in existence. In other words, I'm sick of collecting music. The new technology has made me look past that.
As I mentioned, AOL Music Now is the only web based service, thus the only one that can work on Windows Mobile (Rhapsody has a web browser plugin but it only works on certain desktop browsers).
Good news though. I just discovered (or is it brand new?) that Music Now supports RSS feeds. This could really be the answer to a having a solid experience using the streaming from a subscription music service on a PPC.
You can save an RSS feed of just about anything. All the artists in your library, your playlists, all the albums, all the songs, top 20 lists, etc.
I'm about to try and find an RSS reader for WM5 that might make this a reality. Even if one doesn't exist that works well, the RSS provides an open source for others to make a music browser type interface. Who knows what will happen. One could potentially make a program for WM that reads the RSS feeds and lets you browse, select, and play music much like the interface on an iPod or something. The difference being you have up to 2 million songs to choose from at any given time.

MobiTV and Sirius music for free, no cracking

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?

and that would be....
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.

Any updates on Pandora coming to WM?

I know this isn't Mogul specific, but I just happen to have a Mogul phone As some of you may or may not know, Pandora (www.pandora.com) is an online radio that streams your type of music. I've search quite bit and haven't had any luck with people getting Pandora to work on WMobile phones. Thought I'd ask here incase someone knew of a way to natively run Pandora on their phone.
I know of a way to stream Pandora but it would require quite some work, but if people are interested enough, I could post a work-around tutorial.
Apparently pandora is developing an official app for Windows mobile, but i'm still interested in your workaround. care to explain?
Pandora may be closing its doors
Sorry to burst you bubble about Pandora, but I just read about it yesterday. So unless they get this fixed dont expect anymore updates.
http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/pandora_on_the_verge_of_closing_shop.php
Why not try this instead?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415102
It's just like Pandora....
oh dang that sucks. i hope they pull through because i really like pandora... but lastfm thats very interesting i might just give that a try also.
my idea was to set up a server on a computer that would listen in on pandora and stream it through a webcast so that you could connect to it with a ppc. although all you can do is listen, but at least its streaming your favorite stations to your favorite app like tcpmp.

[REQ] Internet Radio Streamer

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,
Vitkor
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.

OMG... SGS2 is a Rhapsody "Plays4Sure" Device

This may be meaningless to my EU brethren but it's huge for anyone in the U.S. that uses Rhapsody's subscription service. I'm able to download subscription tracks to my SGS2 and play them using the stock music player. That means no more "online" vs. "offline" and mandatory use of the crappy Rhapsody Android player with its awful UI and force closes. All the stock music player settings work and album/track/artist info is displayed via Bluetooth. Does anyone know if the SGS worked with Rhapsody for downloads? I know the G2 and G2X didn't. The last phone that worked for me was the HD2 on Windows. Oh, so happy. Off to upgrade from a 16GB to 32GB SD card...
