Is it possible to Fudge a location to a specific program? I would like to use pandora to listen to music, but it is not available in my country (Australia), is there a way i can trick it into working here, like the maps navigation?
I suppose not then.

Do I need an external GPS receiver with the Tytn II? I cant get the stupid thing to work with Google Maps, or Windows Live in the US. Any ideas?
Get satelite fix first using "GPSViewer" application or TomTom6, then Google Maps will work flawlessly :

This is a known issue with current Google Maps app.

TomTom talks to you and will direct you. Live Search will show you your route but will not give you voice promts, only beeps when it's time to turn.

Google Navigator will also talk to you. Yes you can listen through wired headset.
with BTaudio toggle.exe you can also listen to all sounds thru the BT Headset.
Does anyone know of any "all-you-can-eat" music subscription service that will successfully stream to a WM6 device?
I have a subscription with Rhapsody. There are two ways to use it: with their software client installed on your desktop harddrive, or stream directly from their website. However, if you stream from their website, it installs a very small player app on your harddrive. If you try to stream from their website on a mobile device, it brings up an error saying that the player app must be installed and can only be installed on XP/2000, etc. And there is no mobile Rhapsody client available, in fact, no mention of one even in the works from Rhapsody.
As far as other services go, for a short time last year I used AOL Music and it was able to stream b/c their streams used WMP. I was so excited... I paid the normal 10 bucks a month and could listen to any song, any time, any where on my phone as long as I had a data connection. Unfortunately, AOL music subscription service shutdown late last year.
As for the other guys, Napster, Urge, and Yahoo all either use their own players or their own clients, so none of them work on mobile phones.
Any suggestions? Any of you genius-smart app writers out there think you could come up with something that could stream any of these services?
I'm listening to sirius right now on my tilt. It uses tcpmp. go ask the guys at geekstoolbox.com and maybe they can throw something together real quick for ya. they're working on an all in one right now i think
Hey thanks for the info kireol. Yeah I listen to XM and Sirius on my phone as well. Great feature. I'm looking to get a subscription service going as well.
Thanks for the site suggestion... going to check it out now.
Looks like geekstoolbox is geared mainly toward smartphones and Sirius. They're hard at work on their latest project which appears to be a complete overhaul to their Sirius software, but it's only going to add XM and internet radio stations. Don't think they'll be doing anything related to subscription services (outside of satellite radio) anytime soon.
Any other thoughts about how to get a subscription service to stream? Alternatively, have you looked at trying to get Pandora to stream to a WM device?
AT&T Tilt
Samsung Blackjack
AT&T 3125
The Nokia 810 has a mobile rhapsody client, and that also runs on an arm processor. I am sure a concerted effort could be made to port that code to WM, but I dont think there are enough rhapsody subscribers to care.
Surur
Add one to the "I care" list. I also have a Rhapsody To-Go membership & I would love to be able to take advantage of that on my Tilt.
Any progress?

Mundu Radio
So far I tried Resco Radio, XM and Sirius. And lately Mundu Radio. The best so far, and BTW it is free, is the Mundu Radio. You can download the Cab file from the following link:
http://radio.mundu.com/download/download.php
Enjoy.....
There must be a way to change the voice commands it uses to the celebrity stuff...
i doubt you can do it. Tom Tom and google are completely different companies, meaning their programs wouldnt be alike anyways. Ultimately, tom tom celeb voices are just a feature to draw in more money imo.
But do you think it would be possible to find what speech Nav needs, then sub in some new audio? Then it would only be work to slowly sub in recorded speech from anywhere, possible ripped audio files from the tom tom software? Basically, Pulling only the audio resources from a tom tom like product software, and diverting the audio pull from google nav to these stored audio tracts. I understand that google is using the text to speech software, but from what I've seen, it creates the audio it need, then stores it and plays it. After A Google Nav trip, I have leftover vocal files on the sd card. (Running app2sd from cyan).
Seems like it could be tricked... Wish i knew code more.
I'm looking for an app to stream music. But I can't seem to find anything that works. Like I want to be able to stream for say something like, Edge 102.1 (Toronto). Or something similar and free to XM Radio.
I use Pandora and I love it. It's sort of... genre-based internet radio. I do have force closes once in a while when switching channels a lot but the app is worth it to me.
Edit: Does not pull in AM/FM if that is strictly what you're looking for. You search for a band you like and it will play similar music to the band you chose. Each search creates a "channel" you can switch between.
Hmm. Pandora sounds great and I've heard a lot about it. But, I can't seem to download it in Canada Any suggestions on how to get it or other apps?
you can try iheartradio but i had problems with it not streaming very good
Such a bummer that the markets are not the same across countries. Since it's a free app I think I could post it to the forums without it being warez, right?

I hope so lol
here it is
for future reference, check out market enabler to unlock the market. i've never used it though so i'm not sure if it works.
edit: these are both free apps but if a mod feels like i shouldnt post these, please delete this post
I use an app called AOnlineRadio, it's free in the marketplace. Only plays shoutcast-style streams, but has directory and search functions. Doesn't seem to support Ogg, afaik.

Doesnt last.fm do the same thing? maybe that will work
Awww. Pandora won't work in my country it says (Canada).
I'm trying to use Last.fm in my browser, so I'm on the mobile site, but I can't seem to play any music. I don't see any option to play song or anything.
search the market for last.fm, but I bet it won't work in the great white north either. You could try Slacker, and there is another that I know works in europe but requires a subscription and I can't for the life of me remember it's name, sorry - 5 AM here.
Pandora and Slacker are US-only due to licensing restrictions by the recording industry. I'm not sure about last.fm since audioscrobbler was pretty popular years ago even in Europe.
You could try some of the shoutcast streaming apps or maybe do a market search for "<country> radio". There may even be something available for Canadians that we don't have in the US market.
I just found one and it's great: "A Online Radio"
It's streaming though, so you'll probably want 3G I'd imagine. (USA here)
I just really want a good streamer to use in Canada since I have 6GB and I'm not using it all up. Bluetooth streaming to my car stereo would be a nice replacement to my actual radio.
i use stream furious
works pretty fine for me (in austria)
there where even the radiostations installed that i downloaded it for. and you can add them yourself too
Recently I started to experiment with AA, and I like the idea of being able to operate my podcast and music player on my car's entertainment screen. But, on the other hand, I deliberately I choose LOS once, because I don't want to have too many GAPPS on my phone. So, having to install all the GAPPS that are required to make AA work, doesn't really thrill me.
Would it be possible to fool AA with some fake GAPPS that do nothing more than to resolve the dependencies, so that AA will connect to the car without the need to install Google Maps, for instant? The main goal for this would be making apps like music players controllable on the car's entertainment screen.
I am neither a programmer nor a developer, so this idea might look very naive to you. But yet, it would be interesting to hear what you think of it.
