Stream music from FTP to PocketPC

[isilver]

I'm looking for a way to stream music from a ftp site to my pocketpc. Is there a program on the pocketpc that will accomplish this task?

Orb (http://www.orb.com/home/) is a remote browser-based service that's compatible with Pocket PCs. It'll help accomplish the task if you have the Orb Server running on the host computer. Granted, it's not really a direct FTP streaming solution, but it's a suitable alternative offering a similar effect.

Best of all, it's free. :)

That's a small problem. It's not a computer that the ftp site is hosted on. So I can't run a server on the host machine. All I can do is retrieve the files.

There are three programs in the Media Chart http://www.feederreader.com/mediachart.html that say they handle MP3 streaming. You may want to give those a try by specifying ftp:// instead of http://

Let me know how it works out so I can add it to the chart!
