compact and plays shoutcast streams.
If you want to play shoutcast on your HPC simply do the following:
- Install GSPlayer from the repository on this blog. There is no CAB
file: simply unzip to a folder on the device and run the .exe, create
a desktop shortcut or assign to a hotkey.
- On your laptopor desktop, browse to shoutcast.com, find a station
you like and right-click on the link. Choose "save link as" and save
the "tunein-station.pls" file somewhere.
- Rename the "tunein-station.pls" to the name of the station, e.g.
"Smooth Jazz.pls" and then transfer to a folder on your handheld.
-From there, you can either open the file you just saved from GSPlayer
or double click the file from explorer.
- Listen to the radio! (best to keep the Jornada on charge or you'll
have a flat battery very quickly.)
This is of course assuming you have your Jornada connected to the
internet. This might work over dial-up, but unlikely. I'll explain how
I got my J720 online in the next post.
Also, coming soon: How I managed to set up wireless printing through a
very convoluted solution, and how I now have cloud access to Skydrive,
Google Drive, and Dropbox!
