Hi!
My trusty Blue Angel is lying in a drawer since I've gotten myself an Android device which has proven to be much more convenient.
But I'm still looking for a way to put my BA to good use again.
My most recent idea is to convert it into a wireless media center. I'd like it to access web-radio channels and the music collection on a NAS server in my home network. The audio could be transferred by a bluetooth connection.
Does anybody know if there is a Winmo program that can access both web-radio and networked storage devices?
And is there a cheap Bluetooth device that can transfer audio to active speakers or hifi equipment?
Dirk
The integrated windows media player is capable of accessing web-radio stations, i listen to 1LIVE automated every morning over WLAN thanks to ageyes alarm clock, which can starty any program with any command line as an alarm.
I'd be interested in accessing an NAS too...
P.S: I also use a BlueAngel in its craddle as a digital photo frame at work. Works quite nice.

is it possible to direct PC audio on 8525 on a bluetooth link between them?
Not quite the answer you're looking for, but you can stream your pc audio using Orb.

i am looking for program like that aswell even if it works by activesync or wifi
Hi folks,
I wondering, how to set-up some kind of service on a windows based computer, which enables wm based ppc to play sound through a2dp on it.
Is it possible? Which tool I must use? Any ideas how to do that?
Thanks for all your replies
hhmmmm
you mean, that you only want to listen music from your ppc on your pc with a2dp service?
try to use bluesoleil. It has many services.
Code:

yes, you can do that, provided your device and bluetooth support it.
I do it all the time at work. If you computer has Bluetooth Stereo Audio profile, you pair your phone with it and simply select "set as stereo bluetooth" on your phone, shouldn't require any settings on the computer side and voila, you'll have your audio through your computer. It blows my co-workers minds how I go from headphones to my desktop. My work doesn't have a lot of internet bandwidth so I use my phone to stream di.fm and bassdrive.com.
I own an internet radio station: www.rockaces.com
all is ok,but there is no way i can listen to my own station using the HTC TOUCH HD.
Is there a plug in that i can install so i can listen to it?
(well,me and anybody else who would like to listen to my music using his mobile)
Thanks!
This seems a little bit like an attempt to promote/advertize your internet radio stations; however, to answer your question, this is what I use
First I find the internet radio stations that interest me and load them into winamp on my desktop computer
then I save the playlist for that specific radio station and name it accordingly
then I transfer the playlist to my mobile device into a folder I named "Internet radio stations"
then I load the internet radio station into one of my media players capable of playing streaming media
I use TCPMP as this streams the best for me; however, WMP works also and I am sure there may be others out there.
I even created shortcust to my favorite internet radio stations in my Ultimate Launch Setup - I have a dedicated page for Internet radio - Sirius radio and audio/video players I use
Hope this helps

NO ADVERT
This is not an advertisment!!!
It is a simple question!
I dont need this kind of advertisment anyway!
My site is just my hobby!
If it is possible,enter my site (with your htc touch hd),and try to listen to the on line radio,the way you would do it if you were using your home pc ot laptop.
If you can listen to it,please let me know how you did it.If you cannot listen and you get the message 'invalid....' and you have a solution,please let me know.
www.rockaces.com
That is all i am asking!
For some reason, I cannot open the website on my desktop. Just keeps trying and trying and trying but nothing
I use gs player - free cab can be found here
Never had a problem with it and I listen to a small radio station in Ibiza.
Also just checked out your station and i got it.
Open gs player, then go to file/open url and type 78.129.196.104:8074 and its all OK and working.
Might not be the easiest way but it works for me.

This method worked for me - Clicking on the Winamp link on your website allows you to save the playlist to your desktop. I then saved the playlist for your radio station to my device and opened it with TCPMP and it worked fine for my device this way.
Thanks a lot!
Now i can refresh my site with the information!
Hi all, I can’t seem to find a straight answer on this forum about how to connect my SX66 (WM6.1) to my Windows XP PC over Bluetooth so I can listen to my mp3s or internet radio on my HIFI system that’s connected to my PC?
I am using a Bluetooth USB stick and I have them both paired using the BT software the came with Windows XP.
I had tried BlueSoleil software in the past to listen to my music but I didn’t find it practical because it keeps disconnecting and I would need to pair them again.
I am running ROM version: 6.141 WWE, RADIO version: 1.02.10 and ExtROM version: BLACK KERNEL
Thanks
first of all let's make sure i got the question right:
you want to stream audio from your sx66 to your pc, right?
well that is no problem in general, since the sx66 is known to have better BT quality than most of the other BA models (further range, higher tx rate).
since windows xp does not come with a proper usable bluetooth client (unlike vista) i woul generally recommend bluesoleil, because it can be a handy tool, once you got all the settings right. plus you don't need extra drivers, since most of the BT chip manufacturers work with bluesoleil.
then all you have to do is pair your device with your pc and once that's done, set bluesoleil to allow the device to do all further things in all areas without further confirmation.
then you need to make sure you have the a2dpfix on your sx66, which is needed for stereo bt stream.
then, when paired, start wmp and play music, and look in the mixer on your pc, if a signal comes in, and what channel and turn it up / activate it for audio input.
(let me repeat that all this is so much easier in vista, and for every step i made the other day i have to think of 5 ones which are necessary to do the same on xp)
then your stream should work as long as you don't close wmp, if you do so and then want to continue playing, you need to connect to your pc in your BA's bluetooth app again, but need no settings on the px anymore which i guess is a relief.
back to the basics: if you really want to do that, you can do it now, but still i can't think of a reason why anyone should do that, i suppose the mp3s your playing come from your pc and you could play them there anyway, your pc can probably also play internet radio.
if that is a "i turn the screen off and control the music with my mobile!" thing, i can give you another freeware, with which you can control winamp, whenever you are connected via activesync, no matter if you are doing that via cable, cradle, BT or wi-fi.
i just gotta look it up, i don't have it right now either but it is great!
e.g. i want to control my music while playing, but with full screen games and without media keys on the pc's keyboard i need an external winamp control to (plus it also provides jump to and other things media keyboards can't do).
EDIT: i could not find the program i had to control winamp from my device, but it was a bit older, even worked with wm2003se, but i did find, that people do like to control their pc players from mobiles, therefore, a thread was made, to be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294524
greetings Chef_Tony
P.S. please re-post, if it worked and if that is what you actually asked.
Thanks
Thank you for the quick reply; Yes you understood correctly.
It seems that BlueSoleil is the only solution for what I want to do, so I reinstalled (version: 6.4.245.0) again with the A2DPFix.CAB and it’s working for now.
Do you know where I can find a cab file to install on my BA to enable the rest of BlueSoleil services (Bluetooth phonebook….)? BlueSoleil is asking me to install “symbian\IVT-wm(1.0.2).CAB” on my device, but it doesn’t work and the only file I can find on this forum is the “bluesoleil_r2.arm_163.zip” for magician.
actually, for other services, like dialing, phoebook, sms and stuff i would suggest pairig the device, and setting up activesync via bluetooth, your phonebook is to be found in outlook then and for writing sms and completely controlling your device i would suggest MyMobiler, which is a freeware remote program which gets the BA's screen on the pc and you can control the device via the pc's keyboard and mouse. i also use that for making screenshots of new roms and stuff, it's free and works with activesync, so cradled, BT, wi-fi doesn't matter. that of course, doesn't 100% satisfy your question, i guess. i'm in a bit of a hurry right now, but be sure to check in this thread later, because i will edit, as soon as i found something that really brings you the services.
Thanks for the info. MyMobiler works great
By the way I uninstalled the A2DPFix because the sound was choppy.
Good evening,
Well MyMobiler is not working everytime on my device and i'd appreciate to find bluesoleil CE if it allows you to send sms from PC without having to link it anytime.
Have a nice evening.
Hi everyone,
Got my black Z1c yesterday, love it so far!
However, when I try to use it in my car (Audi A6 2008), I cannot place a call if it was initiated from the car's interface.
The phone connects to BT no probs and shows my car in the devices list as a headset. Incoming calls are reflected on the car's display, and connected to the speaker's/mic of the car. When I place a call from the phone itself - same deal, all works as expected. But when I use the car's controls to dial a number, the car's display shows "connecting", and nothing happens...
Tried to pair/unpair many times, no success. Tried other phones, like iPhone 5, Samsung Ativ S (WP8), Samsung Galaxy S4 Active, HTC One - all work seamlessly. My old Xperia Z was working fine, until I sold it to get the Z1c... I would never expect Z1c to behave like this...
Anyone has similar issues?
Yes mine is the same (ford sync)

Bluetooth is a wireless protocol for exchanging data over short distances from fixed and mobile devices, creating personal area networks.
There are two important parameters of Bluetooth devices - class and supported profiles.
"Class" signifies the distance at which a Bluetooth connection is possible. Most mobile devices are Class 2, which means they have a range of up to 10 m. Class 1 devices are rare and have a range of up to 100 feet.
A "profile" is a type of Bluetooth connection. The most common are the Headset (HSP) and Handsfree (HFP) profiles that enable the device to connect to a wireless headset or handsfree.
Some other profiles are OBEX (OBject EXchange) which allows transfer of files, contacts and events; A2DP, which adds support for streaming of stereo sound and AVRC, which allows remote control of playback.

try clear caches. All kinds of caches. When I say all kinds, I mean all caches that you can clean. Retry what you want to do. If it does not help, try factory reset and retry your bluetooth connection. if it still does not help, try flash firmware. I guess this is the solution you can count on.

Thanks, will try. The phone was just outta box when I was trying it in my car... The car was the first BT device it has ever been paired wtih...
Phone calls work fine on mine.
BUT while we're on the topic of vehicle BT, has anyone got working song info via bluetooth? I thought it was supposed to support avrcp 1.3, but in my car (2013 Ford SYNC) I still get no info about songs I'm listening to and also the voice commands for playing artists or albums don't work.
/Daniel
I use it with my new Golf and the phone functions works as expected but the song info does not show. But they never do with Android phones. My 5s works of course

In my Toyota Auris 2013 model song info always worked with Walkman app assuming you have tags filled out correctly.
I know there were some issues with tag info in Poweramp I prefer to use but they got that fixed recently. Advanced options to display song info on external BT device is just buried deep in app's settings though.
Everything works fantastic on my BMW F10 (2012) with Navigation Professional, Bluetooth Music with Song Info, Phone with contact pictures (! Didn't even know that was possible until I got the Z10c) and full Message Access Profile with historic E-Mail and SMS access.
The In-Car integration is the main reason why I am torn between iPhone 5s and Xperia Z1c.
The iPhone has the Advantage of "BMW Apps", which allow using Webradio, Facebook, RSS Feeds etc. through the Navigation, as well as iPod Control and Coverart Display.
The Z10 can't do those things, but it can do Bluetooth MAP which is rather important to me also. Webradio can of course be streamed via BT (and controlled on the phone).
