Hi Paul, I've done 3 stations upto now, just the main ones I listen to. The
first 1 is my local station which I'm sure you're not interested in. The
others are BBC 5Live and BBC 7, links are as follows. I just sent these links
to my phone via e mail and then open the links, saved them and then I've got
them stored. Ok here they are:
BBC 5Live:

BBC 7:

Hi Steve
That sounds interesting and I would like the links you have if that is OK?
That is the kind of thing I would do too.
Not sure how it would work for programming that changes regularly, but,
things like listening live to radio should be fine I would think.

Subject: [talks-uk] Internet radio on mobile phone
Hi folks. Yesterday I was a little frustrated, as I wanted to listen to some
commentary on my phones FM radio as I walked home with my sons, but then found
out that it was being broadcast over the internet instead. BBC programs as you
know, use the iPlayer to broadcast and therefore it isn't available via the
phone unless you use a wi fi connection...and, of course, the iPlayer isn't
supported anyway.
Well tonight I put my thinking cap on to see if there was a way around this.
Now I don't want to presume people aren't doing this already, but as I haven't
read any posts on this I'll tell you what I did and hopefully some of you may
find it useful. I went to my local BBC radio page and clicked on "listen
live". iPlayer opens and the radio stream begins. I then opened a program I
have which can detect the URL of any media currently playing. Anyway from
that, with a bit of editing from the beginning of the URL found, I was left
with a direct link to the BBC stream that bypasses the iPlayer. I sent this
link via e mail to my phone, clicked on "open link" and hey presto real player
kicked in and I had the station!
I did the same for a few other BBC stations and all worked perfectly. I just
saved the stream into the gallery for future use. I guess this can be done for
any station. I'm going to try ITV tomorrow and see if that works aswell. If
anyone needs links to put into their phones, let me know and we'll see what we
can do. Cheers Steve.
