Internet Radio Stations

Adding a station is mentioned but the routine for that isn't listed. Here is a quick routine. It uses somaFM stations as the examples but enter the URL you need at that point of the routine to find Internet Radio happiness.



To Add A Station to the N900 Internet Radio

• Tap Media Button
• Tap Internet Radio
• Tap Internet radio stations
• Tap Add radio bookmark
• Tap web address entry field
• Enter http://voxsc1.somafm.com:8850
• Tap down caret with line under it to finalise entry (upper right corner)
• Tap Name entry field
• Enter the name of the station
• Tap down caret with line under it to finalise entry (upper right corner)
• Tap Save button
  

At this point the N900 will bring you back to the list of entered radio bookmarks. An information bar will appear across the screen informing you the media bookmark has been saved.

Scroll through list of bookmarks until you find the one you just created, based upon what you called it.

Tap the bookmark - enjoy!

Substitute any of the URLs below for http://voxsc1.somafm.com:8850 in the routine above to add additional stations.

In no particular order:

http://voxsc1.somafm.com:8300 Doomed

http://205.188.215.227:8014 Space Station

http://voxsc1.somafm.com:8850 Suburbs of Goa

http://voxsc1.somafm.com:8900 Digitalis

http://temp.somafm.com:8090 Indie Pop Rocks

http://207.200.96.230:8014 Boot Liquor

http://streamer-ntc-aa03.somafm.com:80/stream/1018 Groove Salad

http://streamer-ntc-aa04.somafm.com:80/stream/1073 Lush

http://streamer-dtc-aa01.somafm.com:80/stream/1032 Drone Zone

In general, get the station you want on your N900 to play in Windows Media Player. In Windows Media Player go to File|Properties and the Location listed in Properties will be the URL to enter in the routine above. This will yield the URLs for the stations I
haven't listed.

 

Nokia 5800 - How to use RealPlayer to stream MP3 radio stations

Here is how to use RealPlayer to stream MP3 radio stations:

1) Start RealPlayer

2) Select "Stream links"

3) In "Options" menu, select "New Link"

4) Select "E: Memory card" (You can use either "C: Phone memory" or "E:Memory card", but it is a good idea to conserve the phone's memory)

5) Enter the station name in "Name:" and the http link in "Web address:"

6) If you find the streaming MP3 radio station that you just entered doesn't show up in the "Stream links" list, you will need to exit and then restart RealPlayer. You will then find the station you entered listed in "Stream links".

Here are a few example of MP3 stations that I like to listen to:

Name: Groove Salad

Web address: http://scfire-mtc-aa06.stream.aol.com:80/stream/1018

This station plays downtempo instrumental music.

Name: Lolliradio

Web address: http://94.76.208.18:8000

This station plays English and Italian Pop and Club music.

Name: Pulse Radio

Web address: http://87.98.137.234:80

This station plays Trance music.

Name: MusicOne

Web address: http://m1live.returning.net/m1live

This station plays Pop and Club music

You can find the http links for MP3 streaming station by going to www.shoutcast.com, click a station's "TUNE IN!". Then click "Listen in Winamp or Other Player". Select "Play in your Default Media Player". Then click "Save". If you are using Winamp, bring
up the playlist. Click "LIST OPTS" and select "SAVE LIST".

If you selected save the file to the desktop, open the playlist file in notepad and you will see the "http://" link(s).

Enjoy!
