Problem streaming radio in WMP8

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

It's using windows media audio 9 - I'm not too sure that WM8 suppprts
windows audio 9 codecs. I wouldn't expect winampaq or any other app to
support these streams either, as they are not mp3 streams.

I dont think so, it only seems to be available for WM2003. The only
option I can think of is to get hold of a ROM upgrade for your PPC
from the manufacturer. Any new ROM with WM2003 will come with windows
media 9 by default. Some kind of built in obsolescence.

Hi again!

Thanks for the suggestion! I will email Compaq/HP in the morning and
hope for something positive from them.

Many thanks!

I'm sorry to bring you bad news, but in the .pocketpc newsgroup
you stated you were using the iPAQ 3660. Alas Windows Mobile
2003 Software for Pocket PC has never been released for the 3600
series of devices. So the only upgrade I see possible, is to
upgrade your complete device.
