Streaming audio on Windows Media Player

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Has anyone had any luck playing Radio Paradise streaming audio on their
PocketPC using WMP 10?

I cannot get my player to work with that site, and hope Neil will unlock
the secrets of it:

http://www.radioparadise.com/

Thanks in advance!

Hog

PS: I have a cable connection with rock solid wi-fi access to it from home,
and the PPC is a Dell Axim X50v with WMP 10 and the latest (A03) operating
system release...

It's not a virus, it's a distributed streaming client, something along the
lines of peercast by the sound of it, which they use for their WM stream. At
any rate, it won't run on a Pocket PC.

Good stuff. And if you get bored of Radio Paradise, head over to
www.shoutcast.com, you can play all the many stations there with GSPlayer
too.
