Okay, I'm an avid Met fan and I thought I outsmarted the system, but apparently I have not... Please aid me in my quest.

So I figured out how to get streaming radio to my bluetooth headset. For the massive Noob that I am, I was proud of my accomplishment. This pride was short-lived, however, after I realized that the radio station that broadcasts the games(WFAN) doesn't play the games over the internet. So the question is, how can I listen to games over my phone? I'm sure there are some resourceful baseball fans who have run into the same problem... So how do I get things working?

MLB.com offers a monthly service to get games streaming to my phone... But it is expensive, and I'm sure there's a way around it. Please help me out, Oh Wise Ones.

The MLB ownes exclusive rights to broadcast so if you are looking for the free way, forget it. You are better off asking your mom for a raise in your allowence.

Are you kidding - OK -
right off the top of my head - here is a way that is free to you - you have a friend (he has to pay but you don't) go to the game and call you on your phone and tell you what is happening.

See - easy peasey...

FM Radio output to PC. PC encodes audio in to mp3 stream. Run Icecast on PC. Connect a player that'll listen to streams. Voila.

aacplus or ogg actually would be better, but considering it's just voice etc, you would run a pretty low bitrate with most codecs.

That's what I would have said :cool:
