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.

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.

Any idea what is wrong here?

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.

Just having a read and i've seen "HTC - PLAYER" and "HTC - MUSIC PLAYER"
I dont seem to have these on my O2 supplied HD2.

That will be streaming media player or the player built into album. There is no "HTC Player" as sort (at least i cant think of one). Only thing ure missing is wi-fi router. You can flash a HTC rom using the "goldcard" method if you like. I have done it to my o2-uk hd2. More info on that here
Im looking for a uk radio station streaming app ie: galaxy radio1 kiss etc.just got my desire and new to android.
The FM radio App has them on there! Why don't you use it?
He might not be able to get those stations on FM where he lives!
I can understand it. I like to listen to Capital to keep up on what is going on up in London, but obviously it's not transmitted outside London....
I know Resco do something for WM, but i don;t know about for android...there doesn't seem to be anything obvious in a quick search of the market....
ive found an app for galaxy fm but not a working version for all BBC radio channels etc. hopefully we can get one on android soon like Tunin on iphone
have you tried listening to the BBC channels using beebplayer? i'm sure i saw something about radio in there.... it's only likely to be the major stations and not the local/regional ones though.

thats the way to go, don't know if it'll work but go to your preferred bbc radio station site n hit the "listen live" feature
radio 1: bbc.co.uk/radio1
radio 2: bbc.co.uk/radio2
etc.
if the listen live function doesn't work, just get the url address when you use the "listen live" and enter that in coz they play through the iPlayer
ive tried the bbc website no joy, tried the beeb player the radio stations are not working, as for the copy the url into iplayer im not sure where.

FM radio will not work without external headphones or speakers. I like to use the built in speaker sometime.
Tried Xfm. Not bad but shame there's no BBC.
If you want a custom radio app with your favourite artists, I recommend Last FM application, it works pretty well on my Desire!
You'll need to sign up to Last.fm (free) and add your favourite artists to your library, works a bit like Pandora which is now defunct out of the USA

Yea this is the best android app for streaming UK radio stations.
Hey there!
I want to listen to a specific radio channel (P3, a danish radio channel) but it just so happens, that i cannot find it preloaded in any radio apps, and they only broadcast in .wma.. So what i am looking for is an app, that will let me enter the URL for their stream (.pls) and then play it for me. I found radio apps that supposedly support .wma, but they don't allow for custom URLs. I also found apps that support custom URLs, but not wma..
Prease Halp!
Hi m8 - the app i use to stream nearly ANY type of radio station including wma is an app called Xiia Lite.
Ive blogged about it over at my blog

Its second on the list, inlcuding the barcode to get it! Happy scanning.
