I've used orb and its pretty amazing, but I want to take this a step further.

Orb allows you do download and play music files that are stored on your pc's hard drive.

What i want to know is if there's a way to stream whatever audio is being played on your pc at any time to the mogul.

Basically what i want to do is set up my napster account to just continuously download and play random songs from their radio feature on my home computer and have my pda pick up the audio that is coming out.

Does anyone know how to just stream all sounds that are being outputted from the base machine to the mogul?

Thanks

Figured it out.

Windows Media Encoder to the rescue!

God damn i love technology.

...well? Can you share how you did it with the rest of us? I have a Napster subscription as well, and since the Sprint Mogul doesn't support Napster at this time, I'd love to figure out how to listen to Napster on my mobile, even if I have to leave it running on my home computer.

I used windows media encoder and virtual audio cable. Virtual audio cable basically emulates an audio cable going from your computer line out into your computer line in or mic in so that there is no loss in quality. I then used windows media encoder to broadcast a stream based on whatever was coming into the mic in.

With virtual audio cable, anything audio that I play is automatically fed into windows media encoder and then broadcast as a stream that i can pick up using windows media player or core player on my titan (now touch).

Basically it goes: whatever is playing -> virtual audio cable loopback -> windows media encoder stream broadcast -> mogul/touch

Using remote desktop, I can go in and change napster stations and playlists, and so on. Better than xm or any of those because i get full access to all of napsters content.

No more sd card for me hah.
