I'm fairly new to the internet tablet and I have a question. I haven't done anything but install a couple of little apps that I found on the maemo website. Simple "click here" items. I was wondering if there was a way to listen to a windows media type stream. A radio station I listen to broadcasts online. Is there a way to play this on my N800? The station's website is www.the950.com. Are there any types of applications that I can use to play the live stream? Or is there some trick to playing audio like that? My second question is HTML mail. My job sends me mail that has images in it. Is there a way to get the images to show up in the default N800 mail reader. Yes, I know it's not totally safe to do that, but I really need the images some times. Just text isn't really cutting it for me. Other than that, I really like the N800 and will probably be getting a N810 soon.

Thanks,
Bill

Do you have OS2007 or OS2008 installed on your N800? With OS2008 on my N800, I'm able to listen to "KHMX-FM - New! CHR" and "KTBZ-FM - Liquid Buzz" from the web site to which you linked. I haven't tried all the other stations, but I expect they work as well.

You'll need to click on the music-note-document icon below the big "HD Radio Digital AM & FM" image in the web site's player window to launch Media Player, but after that the stations stream fine.

I can't help you here. I go so far as to adjust the registry settings of my Windows computers at work to force Outlook to display all mail as plain text.

I hadn't noticed the Listen HD link. I was clicking on the other link at the top right of the screen. It opens a window to listen, but when I click the music note there, it says that it's trying to save the file with no application to open it. On occasion, it will try to open the media player, but it never makes a connection. It does something that bogs the N800 down and causes me to reboot after a few minutes. I should have been more specific in that I'm tyring to listen to AM950 (not listed in the stations you checked). I can listen to AM740. Also, I have OS2008 installed. On my windows machine, the stations appear to load the same. Not sure what's up with the N800.

Thanks,
Bill

My apologies for not getting back to this sooner. A particularly feisty strain of the flu landed me in the hospital there for a bit.

Anyway, does clicking the following link in the web browser on your N800 load and play the stream you want in Media Player?

mms://a1111.l2009811023.c20098.g.lm....ION_ID=KPRC-AM

It loads and plays a stream for me, and I think it's the one you want. Even if it is, don't rejoice yet; there's a good chance the radio station will change the URL to the stream in the future and break that link.

Here's a post I made previously in an attempt to explain MMS, ASX, and some of the other weirdness that's going on. If and when the radio station breaks that MMS link above, you'll need to find the new MMS URL in an ASX file. I've given some information on how to do that in the linked post. However, if you have trouble, please post your questions, and I'll do my best to help out.

have you tried streamtuner? i've just installed it on my 800 and there are literally hundreds of radio stations from all over the place. haven't figured it all out yet. streams from shoutcast etc. don't know if this will help but there again i am a newbie!

I wish there was an better way to tune into radio stations that actually require an embedded player to listen.

I'm have the toughest time getting a San Diego station called KOGO AM 600 to work with my N800 OS2008
