So, I had a heck of a time finding the application. I had to download GSPlayer from a Japanese site. It's a freeware MP3 player that can play Shoutcast audio streams. There is no installer for the application, so just download the .ZIP, extract it to your desktop PC, then copy the GSPlayer.exe to your Axim. When you start the application click the drop down item on the right, select Options/ Options/ then scroll to the right until you see the Associations tab. There you need to assign Playlists to GSPlayer. Now go to www.shoutcast.com in PIE and click the station you want to listen to. When it prompts you to save the file select yes after putting a checkmark in the "open file after download" box.

It sounds good at 128/44. Now I just need my 802.11b CF card so I can listen to this outside while washing the car, etc. (If the Netgear card will pick up the signal from my wireless router at that distance.)

Oh, here's where I found the player. I tried both versions and they both work. (167 and 172) - just be sure to use the WinCE-PPC/ARM GSPlayer (there are many in the .zip file) - http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA032810/gsp.htm You'll see two "Download English Version" links about 1/2 way down the page.

If you have any questions, just let me know. I choose to "hide the window" (under options) and it minimizes itself, and goes to the "systray".

Nice post when imy WiFi card comes ill have to give it a shot

Thanks, it's very cool. And the GSPlayer is pretty neat, it has lots of options. If someone doesn't like using WMP to play MP3s they may also want to give it a shot. It's more like WinAmp than WMP.

When my WiFi card arrives I am going to hook the audio out of the Axim to the auido in of my stereo system downstairs. That way I'll be able to stream Shoutcast stations in my living room.

Absolutely cool! I've started recording streams from my Axim to my sony MiniDisc player via an analog cable from the headphone jack. Very neat indeed, Mike. Thanks a lot. Oh yeah, it works great with a WiFi card. With the Axim in my pocket, the stream follows me around the house.
