Streaming Audio from Pocket PC Media
Got a wireless Pocket PC and looking for content? Well, if you haven't figured out the whole Podcasting fad yet, this is a good alternative (though there aren't many links yet). Worth a look!

Internet Radio Show Schedules and Stream Links for Pocket PCs
I'd like to let you know about a site we've built. It's pretty cool being able to listen to a variety of Internet Radio Shows on a mobile PocketPC, but, we too were frustrated by the difficulty is finding, and starting streams that would play on our PPCs, so, we build it.
http://www.radioshowlinks.com/
A Directory of Internet Radio Shows and Stations; Listen Live or On-Demand. The directory includes Schedules and Stream links for Talk Radio, Current Events, Business, the Arts, and other programming.
Many top talk radio shows can be found on the Popular Internet Radio Show channel including Rush Limbaugh, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Al Franken, and others:
http://www.radioshowlinks.com/display.aspx?id=72471
Another channel includes many popular NPR and other Public Radio shows including streams directly from National Public Radio as well as webcasting internet radio stations from the NPR network.
For example, this channel has top National Public Radio shows:
http://www.radioshowlinks.com/display.aspx?id=72783
For many (most) PPC clients, it does the right thing ... the PocketPC "direct" URL is http://www.radioshowlinks.com/ppc/display.aspx for those devices that it doesn't do the right thing.
We also serve our schedules on RSS feeds. For example, this is the RSS feed of "Popular Shows Live Now" ...
http://www.radioshowlinks.com/rss.aspx?id=11
There are many more. It's all free; no registration required. It also works on Pocket PCs such as IPAQ and streaming capable cell phones such as the Nokia 3650 as well as a SmartPhone. Please check it out and let us know what you think about it and any suggestions you may have for shows, or stations, that we should add to our Internet Radio guide.
Thanks.
John

John, great site!
Do you know why on my PC, CNN Radio starts Media Player while on my PPC the same link tries to download a Real .rm file?

I'm a real newbie at PPC and streaming but I was able to get some of the stations to play. Others wouldn't - they just wanted to download a file (I guess the same .rm files referred to above). Is there any way to force WM player to play these or do I need Real Player, too?

All .RM files will need RealPlayer. At the moment, WMP for the Pocket PC cannot handle these. On a side note however, there are two versions of RealPlayer: one is the standard 1.0, and the other is the 1.1PR. I'd go for 1.1PR, which you can download here.

That sounds logical. But the strange thing is that from the PC, the very same link will start Media Player and stream the radio program through that.
BTW, I will unlikely install RealOne software on my PC or PPC again.

iirc, WMP on the desktop as far back as version 8 supports playing some real audio filetypes, but not all.

Media Player for the Pocket PC compared with the PC, is a lot like how Pocket Word is in the same context. It's "basic" in other words. But if you want true support for RealMedia, use the RealOne Player for the Pocket PC. I put a link in my previous post.
