Possibility 1)

use Windows Media Encoder and setup a live stream. This supports playlists and such. Does WMA and WMV streaming (audio/video).

alternatively use Helix Producer combined with Real One Player.

Possibility 2)

Mount folders on your PC drive on the PocketPC. There's some free tools available that allow you to do this. When you play content from that folder in any player software, the stuff is transmitted over WiFi. It's de facto streaming, even though your PocketPC thinks it's playing a local file.

Could someone link me to one of these?
Possibly a freeware?

Thanks!

Not sure where to find the free ones but I run Resco File Explorer and it maps my network drives and I can play the files from my PC on my PDA ...

Try Netrunner http://www.pcdemano.com/images/downl...unner2.arm.CAB
It will let you map a shared folder to a network drive and then you can stream right from the mp3s on your desktop PC's hard drive. Oh, and did I mention? ITs free.
