Listening to the radio on my XDA Exec?

---

Hi!

Just got my XDA the other day, and have downloaded Real Player to listen to the radio thru the internet. However, was wondering if therevis another way of getting radio when I'm out of Wi-Fi range? Any plugins or cards out tere that I should know about?

Also, any navigation system tips would be good too!

Thanks very much for all your help! :P

an FM (or DAB) radio input is the one thing missing from all these devices. I find it hard to believe no-ones sorted this out yet.

Firstly,welcome. a site i use to listen to lots of radio stations is www.live-radio.net not all work, but lots do. n-joy.

Very interesting!!

hmm - only issue with it is that you can't do anything else with the unit while listening (eg read a book/look through the files on your regular SD card. )

I agree it's exactly what you want if FM radio is all you want.


But it's still a shame the unit doesn't have an FM radio in the hardware.

Be careful if you are using usa fm tuners in the uk. They will not tune to "even" frequencies (ie: 88.8 ) but "odd" frequencies are fine (ie: 88.9).

Is that because Americans only program using 1's and us Brits only use good ol' fashioned 0's.

Bloody Micro$oft, you'd have thought they would have sorted this out by now!!!! :shock:

Why not buy a set of earphones with a built in FM receiver? Something like this: http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=128177
This one doesn't necessarily look the best but there are plenty out there.
