Winamp Goes Mobile, It’s Like Never Leaving Home

How many of us have wished that we could access our music and movies from our home PC on our mobiles? I know I have. Now the other day I was watching something on my computer and finally got sick of Winamp bugging me to download their latest version. So, I grabbed it from their site and started the installation process. In the process of spamming my way through the first few screens something caught my eye. Winamp now has a feature that you can install called Winamp Remote which is supposed to allow you access to your media library from anywhere you have a broadband connection (Mobile or Computer).

Blue Apple Offers Mobile Video Searching

If you have a media-capable phone, searching for streaming video can be somewhat aggravating.  Youtube has their mobile site, but only allows you to search a limited amount of videos.  There have been smaller video sites that have popped up (and gone down almost as quickly) but because of bandwidth and legal issues, there aren’t many to choose from.

Stream On, Man.

You gotta admit, the fact that you can stream internet radio on (a lot of) cell phones is up there with TV dinners and Pop Tarts.  Maybe even cooler.  Now I know, I know, the quality isn’t exactly CD (or even FM) quality, but for tunes and news on the go, it’s tough to beat.  And free is always good, too, so long as you have a data plan.

TalkStreamLive [Mobile] has compiled a list of (Read: what they deem) the favorite streaming internet radio stations in a simple, straightforward website.  We didn’t even know that they had a website for the PC before we discovered their mobile offering, and honestly, we prefer the mobile site.

The mobile site is divided into categories:  Talk Radio, News, Sports, Music, & Video.  Of course, different sites stream in different formats, so you may not be able to utilize all of the links.  File this under trial and error, but there are quite a few streams in each category -you should be able to find one that you both like and that your phone can load.

So if you’re into streaming media, check it out.  It’s always fun to experiment with what kind of horsepower your phone might be able to, ahem, pony up…

Update:  After chatting with the kind folks over at TalkStreamLive.mobi, they gave us the following tips:

For those using smartphones, try TCPMP, a free media player that will play 100% of the radio streams.  TCPMP will even play the broadband streams that Windows Mobile Player will not.  And apparently the 128 kbs streams sound sweet on bluetooth audio headphones or on a bluetooth car radio.

Now where did we put that Jensen Bluetooth Receiver?
