blue tooth mp3 streaming

[Guest surfheli]

does there exist an spv (wm5) blue tooth application that will stream mp3 from the laptop to the phone?

[Guest Tech]

unfortunatly not.

However I may be workin on such a thing in the future as part of many projects I have

Actually this is possible! If you have bluetooth active sync set up with your computer then you can access something called orb.

http://www.orb.com/

Set it up on your computer and it will access your documents e.g music, videos, tv and images.

Then open up myorb on your phone browser and you can open streams of anything.

[Guest surfheli]

does this involve data charges, or do you link locally?

[Guest mini_man]

well you can use bluetooth active sync to cover the gprs data charges.

Hi mini_man,

I have setup myOrb, looks really useful, but I have failed miserably to understand how to connect via bluetooth using activesync.

Thanks mini_man, nice guide but getting blutooth going is not a problem. Maybe i have misunderstood about connecting to Orb using activsync, I got the impression that you have done this through Activesync without GPRS charges?

[Guest mini_man]

its called a passthrough connection, it allows your phone to use the pcs internet!

to do this go to start > settings> Connections > advanced and make sure all the Internet work wap secure wap are set to automatic.

Then whenever your synced it will use the pcs internet! hence no data charges

ah gotcha, but this still involves the internet. At home i have a laptop and c600 and no internet, I just want to stream music to the phone.

many thanks for your help tho'

Just put any web server on your desktop PC. IIS, apache, whatever. Set up a virtual directory to your music folder

You don't need an internet connection to use it, but if you have your bluetooth activesync connected then you'll be able to browse the web server.

Open up TCPMP and use its web browser.

Yes TCPMP's web browser.

In the File->Open dialog go Menu->Enter URL and type http://

choose the file you want to hear and it will stream it to you

This bit confused me!

[Guest surfheli]

yeh, this sounds brilliant...I got a copy of Abyss webserver installed and alas it obviously needs much more tickling than just install and go :).

A guide would be fantastic!!!

[Guest surfheli]

may i ask how?

you may....

ill try and answear...

installed 'abyss web server' cos it seemed simpler than the others

set various paths to 'my shared documents' folder

connected to pc using blue/sync

using the core media player under fileopen / open url and typed the pc ip address and voila could see all the media files

bloddy brill

except that i seem to need the netwok cable plugged in to get it all started, then i can remove this cable and continue ok.

Any ideas?
