Hi all, I'm interested in purchasing an Axim, but one of the features I want is the abilility to stream any audio stream from the internet to my Axim using my wireless network. I don't care how this is accomplished, whether the stream goes directly to the Axim or if it has to go through my desktop first. Is this possible? Thanks.

nothing special needed...there's a nice techno site with lots of streams available....forget the url...di.fm? something simple.

tap a stream link and everything will set up automatically as long as you are connected to the internet.

Sure. Some streams will be able to be used directly on the Axim, if not then you can use Windows Media Encoder (free from Microsoft) to re-stream to an Axim friendly format.

btw....does the "Hokie" in your handle happen to refer to the Virginia Tech mascot...?

Ok i use windows encoder to stream my songs to my ppc, or I use Pocket MVp (free media player) and it plays valid .pls (shoutcast streams) go to http://www.shoutcast.com and scroll down and find a station. I used to dj for one of the stations. Click one (assuming ur on ur ppc, if not you will be listening on ur desktop) and it will ask you to download, its not a big file like 5 kbs, this is the playlist, then go to pocket mvp and open the file, walaah free radio anywhere your heart desires to go, well anywhere ur wlan lets you roam

Digitally Imported has online wmp and winamp streams that work well. Browse to http://di.fm on your Ax, click on a link. Save the file, then run the file. Whalah. (<- Hope I spelled that right.)
