As far as I'm aware, any Windows Media Player greater than Version 7 can tune-in using the 'Windows Media Player' links on the front page.

I'm certain that this isn't OS specific - is your pocket PC running Windows CE ?

Having checked, it really shouldn't make any difference what OS you're running on mate. It's the version of Windows Media Player that's important.

In a nutshell, you shouldn't have any problems.

The error message you're receiving indicates that WMP doesn't know what to do with the streaming file-type. Make sure that you're clicking on the correct link on the front page of the website. Just in case, here are the links :-

Broadband connection with Windows Media Player :-

Dial-up connection with Windows Media Player :-

Let me know how you get on.

Ok, I've done some reading-up on this. It would seem the best way to tune-in using a pocket PC or any hand-held device running a hand-held version of Windows (CE or other) is to use the following app. :-
