can not listen to my weekly radio show

redmustanggt89 · 09/12/2009, 12:54 PM

Okay please be patient with me as I am new to the Palm Pre and this type of computer age. I tried to listen to a weekly radio show this week that can only be listened to by media player or real player. Of course, when I clicked on either of those, it told me I did not have those on my phone. Is there a way to listen to my favorite weekly radio shows that are not produced in MP3? I missed my Chuck Missler "Proverbs" breakdown. Of coure I can listen later on my computer but that is one of the reasons I purchased the phone is convenience. The other was for a phone and that is not going well. NO reception in the house but that is for another time and place. I do have one more week to decide to return the phones. However, they will hit me with a 35% restocking fee so that sort of makes me hesitate on taking it back (if things will get better.) I would love to hear you comments and help in this matter. I did not know exactly where to put this post so I apoligize there also. I also did not know if I put what was needed into the trackback thing. If I am way off base, please let me know. I can take constructive critism.

I listen to public radio stations via the web as well and I've Windows Media Player to do it in the past. However no such app currently exists for the Palm Pre.

You might want to check if the radio show you enjoy has a website which offers streaming audio. If they do, and if the website does NOT use Flash to bring up its player then you might have luck that way. However if the website does use Flash as part of its audio streaming player then you're out of luck as the current web browser on the Palm Pre does not support Flash.

I'm hopeful that a future update will correct that.

I just took a quick look and he has a daily podcast that you could listen to using the homebrew app dr podder.

This is what you're going to have to do until there is support for more media.
