Which internet radio tuner?

[Guest dewdman42]

Any suggestions for which internet radio tuner to get and use on WM5 (Blackjack)?? I have tried Resco's, but it does not mute the radio when calls come in. Looking for something similar that can tune into AAC, MP3, streams, etc..and will mute when calls come in.

Have you been able to configure it to stop playing when a call comes in?

What I am finding thus far is that WMP will stop playing when a phone call comes in and after the call is over it re-continues playing. I'm not sure yet whether it just mutes itself, or the audio is redirected from it, or if it actually pauses.

However, I have found every other audio app I tried does NOT pause or mute, but rather keeps playing music, even to the point that the caller on the other end can hear it and it messes up the whole phone call. I have tried Resco Radio and TCPMP so far. Both exhibitied this behavior.

I have asked on the Resco forum about this and they only said that every phone is different (a cop out answer if you ask me).

I would really like to know why WMP is able to pause and the others are not. Is WMP somehow considered a default media application in WM5 that WM5 knows to turn off when a call comes in perhaps?

Another question is how I can change IE so that links to MP3's and streaming audio URL's will launch a different player instead of WMP. Perhaps the configuration of this will make it so that TCPMP will launch itself AND also will be muted when calls come in? Just hazarding a guess.

I purchased PocketStreamer Deluxe, and it works fine to launch WMP and mutes when calls come in. The only down sides of this app are that (A) it does not support many audio codecs including the all too important AAC and (;) PocketStreamer has a very limited set of radio stations, none of the coolest ones found on Itunes or in Resco, and its very cumbersome to add new ones. But at least this setup does mute the playback when a call comes in.
