Hey guys,
as the title say, I am searching for an App for streaming internet radio. I found Slacker and Pandora by searching the forum, but both programs only work in the USA.
Since I'm in Germany, I'm searching for an App which can stream internet radio over here.
ACTUALLY:
It is just about this radio station I want to listen to on my TP2: http://radiometro.com.au/player/listenonline.html
I copied this link into the "Streaming Media App" on my TP2, but it only said 'invalid link'. So if anyone could tell me how I could get it done to stream this radio station on my device, I would really appreciate.
Thanks,
Don
Try this one;

I am using for a long time, and its awesome. many different style-oriented radios as well as regular ones. you can see track list on the screen.
I love it.
Enjoy

open that page in your browser. In the View menu select Page Source
About a quarter of the way down you will find a line containing this
http://67.220.196.164:7777/listen.pls
Copy that and paste it into your browser (or alternatively copy the one above). When prompted save the file to your hard disk then copy it to your storage card.
Coreplayer will open it and play your radio station
HTH
Thanks a lot for the replies, but unfortunately none of them solved my problem.
@ royhapper: Installed it, started it, selected a channel, can't hear anything. Tried lots of channels, did 3 softresets,... reinstalled it,... no chance. Doesnt work
@ stunno: downloaded the listen.pls, but I dont feel like spending $30 on the CorePlayer. I know that I could use it for more than just streaming Radio, it definitely looks like a good player, but still.... $30 seems a little overpriced in my opinion.
Any other solution?

Give miasto muzyki one more try, I suggest. I am also having same problems since 2-3 days, its a system update or something I suppose. But now its working. I am listening at least.
This is a radio from Poland, you are closer than me, it must be easier for you )
@ royhapper: Still doesnt work.
I found an App called "Wunder Radio" which lets you listen to just about any radio station on this planet. There is a 15 day Trial Version,... and you can get a licence fpr $14.95
http://www.jeyo.com/radio.asp
Still dont want to pay though,... so if anyone figures a cost-free way, let us know
Try GSPlayer. It's a freeware media player that can play Shoutcast and other internet streams. I just tried it with the site you are trying to stream and it works just fine.
1. Download GSPlayer from http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA032810/
2. In GSPlayer select Menu > File > Open URL
3. Put in 67.220.196.164:7777 (don't add the /listen.pls part or it won't work)
4. It should start buffering and streaming...
It worked for me, and it shouldn't be limited to the US, since the GSplayer is from a Japanese site.

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)
cannot get the realone player to install, complains that i do not have activesync 3.1 installed, using 4.1 for exec. how can i install this??
OK, got it working now, using link mentioned above..
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.

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:-

Well i finally went and downloaded tmcmp last night and tried to stream some Orb stuff onto it. Everything that i have tried has given me an error that the file is unsupported. Anyone know why? I've read about a lot of streaming success and this is quite frustrating. I have the newest version of orb and the newest version of tmcmp.

I always use Orb and TCPMP and i've never experienced your problem.
What i do is:
- in TCPMP settings page i've associated the program with the streaming formats (don't remember exactly the extensions but, if you want to be sure, associate everything). This step must be done only once.
- with pocket Internet Explorer i open my.orb.com, login and choose the video to stream
- then, when i press the Play button, TCPMP starts automatically and plays the movie
that's all!

I did just that and when it starts it freezes up for a bit, and then i get the stupid error... this is rather frustrating after reading all the good things about tmcmp... so Please someone help.
well seems that it doesn't wanna open anything... anyone know why? and the error is "Could not open URL!"
haha well finally i figured it out. I was on the BB plan and it would only work with the proxy "getmorespeed.voicestream.com" and i guess tcpmp doesn't support the proxy settings so now that i have the total internet plan it works. Anyway to get around the proxy setting?
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.

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.

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.
Hi all
I hope all you Brits out there are enjoying the snow. My office is closed today so I thought I'd share my experience of using the BBC iPlayer. I believe it can work for you too, if you're UK based. N.B. at the moment it only works over WiFi. Don't blame me for that, it's the BBC's restriction on their website. Also, this worked on my Kaiser, so again no guarantees it'll work on other devices, but I see no reason why it wouldn't.
Here's what I did:
Install the Opera 9.5.15529 cab that are attached to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475986
You will also need HTC Streaming Media. I've attached a version available on this forum. I don't actually know whether this will work on your device as I have the sreaming media cooked into my ROM (see below). Obviously if you have a VGA device you should use the equivelant version of Opera for VGA devices.
There are two other files attached. ASPlayer.exe and ASPlayerLNK.lnk. ASPLayer.exe is infact VJBrisk.exe renamed from an installation of VJBrisk by Vijay555 and a renamed link to the sreaming media player application. If you are installing the Media Player app attached then you need to check the shortcut to ensure it's correct. The one attached is for the executible in the windows folder (\Windows\StreamingPlayer.exe). You can edit shortcuts on your device using TotalCommander.
Once you're happy that the link is correct, copy ASPlayer.exe and ASPlayerLNK.lnk to the \Windows directory of your device.
In Opera type: opera:config in the address bar. Scroll down to User Prefs and open this section. Go to Custom User-Agent. Here type "sgh-i900" without the quotes and then scroll down and select save. Exit Opera and restart it. Go to:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/iplayer
in Opera and you will see the mobile iPlayer page load up. Select your chosen TV or Radio programme and click to play. The streaming app should now open and display your programme.
Hope this helps. I watched "Who do you think you are?" with Rory Bremner in bed this morning!
Best wishes

Thank you for this tut, I have followed your instructions and all seem to be ok (I didn't watch a video but the streaming media did kick in when i clicked play.
I will test later and get back to you
I got as far as the file being played. Audio is fine, but no picture.
Any Ideas?

Hi
If the HTC Streaming Media doesn't work on the Xperia then you will need equivelant software. You could try the media player attached if nothing else works. Real player might work also. Obviously you'd need to manually edit the shortcut in this case but hopefully you can get it working.

Hi
Yes, this is the way the website behaves. Obviously the BBC believe that this is necessary at the moment as they'd rather no compromise on quality.
I guess for now this is not available for phones with no wifi connection. I'll change the first post to make this clearer.
Many thanks

Your post is it VGA or QVGA as sounds great
Almost there!
Thanks for your post, I'm using a Hermes wm6 with your htc streaming media installed. It opens up streaming media ok but then has an unknown error message (both for tv and radio). Could be running low on ram causing the problem. Also tried Skyfire but it doesn't like the IP address and doesn't recognise me as British. I am not giving up just yet though!
Just tried on a Touch... sound only however nothing at all on live streams (memory not an issue here, my ten year olds xmas pressie!)
QVGA

Hi wapvirus
It's QVGA but should work with a VGA device as long as the correct streaming media player is installed and can be linked to the ASPlayer.exe shortcut in \Windows.
Hope that helps. Love your QVGA colour task bar items by the way!

i got 'unknown error' for the htc streaming media player on my lg ks20. Any ideas? how do i link it to the ASPlayer.exe?
Help me plz
Still tryin on my hermes, the best player to date was a dopod version (works perfectly.... but no video!!! Sounds great). After a little search I stumble on an updated tcpmp player which should play the files ok BUT how do I change the ASPlayer to use this as default, or do I change one of the Streaming Media files to use tcpmp ? It will not let me change the aslink.ink page and I presume we leave the opera setting on sgh-i900. I think I have at least 10 different media and streaming players now installed & have become very confused...
shame this cant be make into apanel for the x1 like they have done with youtube

Hi redflag
The simple answer is that you need to edit the destination of the shortcut: ASPlayerLNK.lnk which you copy into windows along with ASPlayer.exe. This link can be edited with the file editor in Total Commander PPC. Hope that helps. If you're unsure about shortcut editing do a search for it on this forum.
Cheers
andrew-in-woking
Success... kind of
Thanks for your reply, have taken a flood day off work! Total Commander is not letting me save the edited LNK.Ink file so I went back and had another go at Skyfire and have got it working on both my hermes and on a touch. The only disappointment is that ,whilst Skyfire uses the main iplayer site which allows downloads, it doesn't feature live tv which yours does by using the mobile site. Keep up the good work!
Had problems getting video to work but when I used this version of the HTC Streaming Player it all worked fine!

media file not supported?
thanks andrew-in-working
so i followed you instructions...opera installed, streaming media, changed user pref. All goes very well from iplayer in opera, link to streaming media and then... streaming media opens, a black screen and 0% buffering message appears, it hangs for a while and tells me this:
"media file not supported"
any idea why it should state this? odd that it is not recognising a file type?
any help would be appreciated..
