Hello, I just need some basic help. I use my iPaq 4150 along with my wireless router to stream shoutcast music through my entire house. I downloaded a few different music player programs to allow this to happen, but nothing has really done what I want (PocketMusic works fine for the free 1 week trial period, but I don't really want to pay and I'm tired of hard resetting and reinstalling the program every week. I know there is a free stripped down version, but it doesn't function with shoutcast).
So simple question, since my 4150 already has Windows Media Player Series 9, can I set this as my default player and have shoutcast streams play through it? If so, how do I accomplish this?
Thanks in advance! 8)

Check out http://www.feederreader.com/mediachart.html for a list of media players. "Shoutcast" is abbreviated "SC" and technically similar to MP3 streaming. You can also search this page http://www.feederreader.com/mediaplayers.html for the word "shout" (and this page also has links to the download or home pages of the players).

A quick look through the pages shows the following possibilities:

GSPlayer
MortPlayer
Pocket Player 2

PictPocket
Pocket TV and Pocket TV Classic
