radio for ppc at last

[Guest hobsons choice]

hi there i've finally found out you can get radio on your ppc, if this is old news, sorry for reposting (i couldn't find anything when searching) i've got this running on my mda compact 2, it works over the internet but im on t-mobiles unlimited data so no worries ;-> itis only supported in the uk and ireland check it out at http://www.radiofeeds.co.uk/pda/

unlimited data is based on fair usage policy - 2GB per customer per month

You can also use resco radio as well , a nice application that has most of the internet radios included plus the option to add you own , its not free but is well worth it ;)

Unlimited data with T specifically excludes streaming... at least with the

I usually use it on the bus, so not for hours on end, i doubt if they will pick it up.

[Guest Confucious]

Do you use it with GPRS or 3G? if it's 3G they probably won't care but if it's GPRS then they might do.

From what I gather it's not the amount of data but the fact that streaming blocks the channels and so no one else can use the bandwidth while you're doing it.

Hopefully they won't notice and I'm sure if they do they would warn you rather than just cancelling your contract!

i think its on 3g, when i connect a little g icon appears. if i find out its on gprs i will of course stop :-> i found all the info on this post, its long but full of great stuff.

W4lly is right G = GPRS, U = UMTS (3G)

The thread you linked to is where I got most of my info - kam_ does seem to know a lot more about the techie side of it than most!

[Guest hobsons choice]

oh right, i thought the charmer could connect by umts, thanks for the info

If only there was a way to get live BBC Radio 1 streaming, i'd be well happy... no Windows Media Stream tho ;)

[Guest Confucious]

Radio 1, Paul? If you'd said radio 4 i might have agreed with you....

Haha, just trying the Real Audio stream with RealPlayer PPC...

Might work?

Ouch, looks like RealPlayer killed my connectivity (JAMin), install with caution!

Interesting ... especially as realplayer works just fine on the whole smartphone range, a platform its not even designed to work on.

Been listening to BBC Radio over wifi on my smartphone for ages now without any issues

oh dear

looeee

Still investigating, something's killed it, maybe it wasn't WMP.

Either way, found a BBC R1 Windows Media stream! ;)
