Streaming radio on your cellphone - in your car

Thanks for your reply! This helps. I also sent you a PM.

i'm not sure if this will help, but i'll try. i don't know about blackberries, but i don't understand how that could be the case.

if the station does not require logging in, all you'd need is a phone with a fast enough connection and a player. i have a windows mobile 6.1 phone (HTC Touch) and the windows media player works for some stations. i downloaded a free mp3 player (GSPlayer) http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA032810/ for shoutcast streams.

Live365 has an app for windows mobile, palm, and coming soon for iPhone, but you have to have a VIP subscription to live365 to listen to all stations on their network.

the easiest answer to your question is if you'll give me a list of the stations you want to tune to, i'll check on my phone and see how it works. there are a lot of 3G windows mobile phones.

you can post here or PM, either one. also, don't forget to get an unlimited data plan!

I have a station I want you guys to tune into at RadioHits.US. Let me know how you make out so I can adjust. Im an old pro broadcaster who has had my internet station on the air since 1999.

If you like radio, it is worth picking up a Smartphone and data plan. I don't leave home without my phone so the radio is always with me. Just a few simple clicks and I'm listening to my favorite talk show or music station. The streams are from 35kbs for talk or news to 128kbs for stereo music.

Here is a typical M-F listening day:

I walk the dog early in the morning with Bill Bennett
Drive to work with Laura Ingraham
Lunch with Tammy Bruce
Drive home with Radio Paradise or Planet Rock (AD2P Bluethooth connects to my slam dunk aftermarket car stereo system)
Walk the dog with Michael Savage
Fall asleep to Paranormal Radio or Overnight AM

All of this radio and more on TalkStreamLive.mobi on a Windows Mobile Smartphone with the Core Player or on www.TalkStreamLive.com

Yes I need a life ;-)

Because iPhones require an application created by the station for people to find you easily (without getting lost in the endless station lists inside of the various tuner apps), I don't consider it a viable platform to send people your way. Although FlyCast has made that better for us (visit oldies104.net with an iPhone to see) I cannot track these users to sell my own ads.

Windows Mobile is the best platform right now, WMP built in works great and no-fuss. Visiting oldies104.net with a windows mobile phone will get you a different page as well, with a set of links separate from the iPhone.

For those without either device that just want to see it: www.oldies104.net/wap.html for windows and www.oldies104.net/wapfiles/iphone.html

BTW, last time I checked I was the #1 music station on talkstreamlive, which is fantastic
