Siemens Sx66 - Radio Stream Problem

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

Hmm, I tried it on my Axim (WM2003 1st edition with windows media 9)
and it played it fine. It connected/buffered for at least a minute
though before playing (even though it's a 16kbps mono stream).

Does it work if you leave it longer ?

I know this page
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmo [...] ericas;142
list the phone as using WM2003 2nd edition, which means you've got
windows media 10 on there. Whether that means the URL is 'detecting'
the version and refusing to play on anything other than version 9, I
don't know.

Maybe somebody with a WM2003 2nd edition PDA can check it ?

Cheers - Neil

Dunno if I'd recommend it even if you could do it. Usually people go
the other way, taking a ROM backup when they upgrade. If it all goes
tits-up (rare) then you can restore the old ROM backup.

But AFAIK I've never heard of a pre-installed 2003SE being able to go
the other way, cause you'd have to have the 1st edition ROM avaialble
from the device manufacturer. If they sell it by design using the
2003SE, then I'd expect the answer is no.

HTH
