I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.

Thanks for the update Gabriel! I actually switched to an N73 last Fall (a 3rd Edition device), so my purchased Virtual Radio no longer works. I suppose I should email support…

Hi @ all

just want to tell you, there are many new high-quality streams (up to 128kbps) available on the VirtualRadio playlist. Just have a look ;-) http://www.vradio.org

If you like to have your favourite station available on the playlist, just contact them and tell them they should contact us for technical details. virtualradio@ninj.com

greetings from switzerland

Howdy Oren! Thanks for the update. I’ll have to give the new Internet Radio client a try. Cheers, Erik

Just an update, Erik. The Internet Radio for S60 client now supports 2nd Edition phones (including the N90). It also plays Shoutcast AAC+ streams, but only on 3rd Edition phones, I’m afraid.

Shoutcast not a new thing now. Just believe it would be a branded client applicaion equivalent to VirtualRadio//Virgin Radio or any other mobile internet radio channel.

Any views??

Jukka — Yeah, good timing :-) Funny too, because Oren was the one who showed me Spodradio as well!

I just wrote a mini-review about Internet radio (see my blog), before noticing your post :)

I’ve also heard that AAC streams sound much better in low-bandwidth situations. Guess we need a player to find out…

On a related note, this streaming client looks even nicer then VirtualRadio: http://www.spodradio.com/ Though it will help if you can read German.

That’s disappointing, the ability to reliably stream a wide range of radio stations is something I’ve been chasing for a while. The bandwidth doesnt’ always have to be an issue — using Virgin Radio’s player, I was able to get decent sound even over T-Mobile’s GPRS network. I think it’s all in the codec — some relatively low bit-rate streams I’ve heard that use AAC+ sound pretty fantastic.
