My OperaHow to get Radio Stations on your cell phone
Wednesday, April 21, 2010 10:48:36 AM
I have tried all the Radio Apps for the iPod touch and the Blackberry Storm and I was unable to find any that had my local favorite 93.5 Bobcat Country. I enjoy Country music, but this station plays the Va Tech games, and every morning there is a show "Trading Post" that I like to listen to.
I do not remember how I found it, but somewhere in my goggles, I found "yourmuze.fm/welcome". You set up an account which is free, then you can choose stations they have or add your own. The only catch is that you have to get your stations URL. It took a while of trial and error but I finally got the URL for the Bobcat and have the station added to My Stations.
After you have done this on the computer, then on your cell Phone go to m.yourmuze.fm on your phones browser and choose the station and listen. It works great.
So now while I am on my boring walks or working in the yard, I can listen to it.
I found an app for the iPod that I like, HiDef Radio it has more stations and genre's than any other app out there. I found a station that plays Celtic music, a station that plays Indian music and 770 AM out of New York. I learned how to play them "in the background" which means on the iPod's browser rather than from the app. Well, since I can not get this application for my Blackberry Storm, I copied the URL's for each station on the iPod and pasted it into an email to myself. Then I got on the computer opened the Email, copied the URL and in another tab, opened Yourmuze and added the station and pasted the URL in. SUPER COOL! Now I can listen to any of the stations I want, when I want on the Blackberry.
Why go to all this trouble, you ask? Because the iPod is only good where there is WiFi and the Blackberry works anywhere there is a signal from Verizion. I am paying for the data package on the Blackberry, so why not use it. The Storm is OK but it is never going to be like an iPhone or a Palm Pre as far as web browsing goes. I am stuck with it until Verizion gets the iPhone (a rumor I hope comes true). That is what I am holding out for.
I have Opera installed on the Storm as well. This makes it as close to surfing on iPod or Palm Pre as it is going to get, and if surfing is what you want, Opera is way better than the built in browser. You can have as many tabs as you want and switch between them just as with the other phones or on your computer. Only problem is that it can not connect to the media player on the Storm, so I can not listen to my yourmuze stations. Nothing happens when I try to play a station except it tries to download some file to the pictures folder. So, have to use the Storm browser to listen to the radio stations.
I tried using Bolt on the Storm, but gets a 1 on a scale of 1 to 10 in my book. Opera gets a 10.
