Streaming audio with 650?

[heffnermatt]

Can you get streaming audio? I have PocketTunes and have signed up at Live365, but can't seem to get an audio stream. Anyone know how?

You need PocketTunes Deluxe for streaming audio.

TreoBits is the place to go for these...

Listing to Live365 stations isn't completely straightforward. There are some instructions available here at the Pocket Tunes website.

Alex has a complete selection of Shoutcast streams. Highly recommended.

So the trial version won't allow streaming audio? Wanted to try it first to see how well it works. Do you both use it?

That's correct. I'm not sure why they don't include this in the trial version?

I believe the trial isn't limited to Pocket Tunes Basic functionality, but I could be wrong since I haven't tried the trial in a very long time. Yes, I occassionally listen to streaming audio. It works fairly well depending on the bitrate of the station and the latency from your phone to the station's server. The lower the bitrate, the more likely you'll experience no buffering of the audio in Pocket Tunes. Also, the speed of your data connection factors into how well it works as well.
