WFMU Mobile Streams

20k Windows Media Stream	Our lowest bit rate stream.
32K MP3 Stream	-
40K Ogg Stream	Best sound quality at low bitrate
128k MP3 Stream	Broadband Stream - best sound quality

Which stream you choose to listen to will largely depend on what kind of audio software you have installed on your mobile device as well as how fast your mobile connection is.

For best sound quality, we recommend using the highest bit rate stream that your mobile device will play without dropping out. By configuring your player to allow for proper buffering, the 128k stream is a viable option as long as you don't mind waiting 20-30 seconds for enough audio to cache.

If you can successfully download the 128k live stream, then there's no stopping you from listening to our 128k mp3 archives as well. Just tapping onto the show's mp3 archive link will give you audio. It's that easy. As an added bonus, you will be able to listen to your mobile freeform listening device without the interference of your work's FIREWALL.

Software Requirements

In order to listen to WFMU you will need to have audio software installed on your mobile device that supports streaming audio. Listeners with devices running the Windows Mobile operating system can listen using GSPlayer, Mortplayer, Windows Media Player or The Core Pocket Media Player (TCPMP). Those using the PALM OS have the option of using either Pocket Tunes or The Core Pocket Media Player.

GSPlayer
Mysteriously hosted on a server from HP Japan, the wonderful (and free) GSPlayer is the easiest way to listen to WFMU's MP3 and OGG streams. GSPlayer will display accuplaylist song information (artist/title )in real time and also has great buffering settings that help prevent drop-outs if you dip out of the service area for a bit. Highly Recommended! You can download GS player here:

Mortplayer
Yet another completely free MP3 / OGG player, this time from our friends in Germany. Lots of random bells and whistles (alarm clock, automatic pause on incoming phone call, etc.)Well worth checking out:

The Core Pocket Media Player The Core Pocket Media Player is a free open source player that allows your mobile device to play MP3, Windows Media, OGG, as well as quite a few different video codecs. Although the pricing is attractive, TCPMP may be slightly trickier to install (Translation: if you are not a geek, don't bother). While TCPMP will work on a Windows Mobile device we recommend using the two players above before trying this one. For Palm Users, however, this is your only FREE option as far as we can tell. TCPMP can be downloaded here:

Pocket Tunes Deluxe
Pocket Tunes provides the easiest way to listen to WFMU using a Palm OS device, however, the software costs $35.00. Pocket tunes can be downloaded from:
http://www.pocket-tunes.com/

Windows Media Player 10 Mobile
This software comes pre-installed with newer versions of the Windows Mobile operating system. According to Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/windowsmobile/faq.aspx#2_1), there is no way to download the player individually and install it on yor mobile device. Microsoft maintains a list of supported devices at the bottom of this page:

MFradioM
MFradio is a free open source player which will work with newer models of Blackberries, however we don't reccomend trying to listen on your Blackberry until they release 3G models (supposedly due sometime in early 2008). You can try listening to our 32k stream on your blackberry over EDGE but you may experience performance problems depending on your coverage. In order to listen to our 32k stream on your blackberry first goto http://mfradio.sourceforge.net/ on your blackberry and click on the link to the latest .jar file. Once you confirm that you would like to install the application, MF radio will appear on your main list of applications. Open MFRadio, click on the scroll wheel and select "Add". Under title write "WFMU" and under link type http://mp3stream.wfmu.org:8004
Click "Ok" and then select the "WFMU" link you just created and choose "Play". It may take a few seconds to buffer enough audio.
