I thought I would pass this along...

Live365 for BlackBerry

Funny you should ask. Though it's not been officially announced yet, we've just started development of the BlackBerry version last week. The timeline looks like a release in early November. It'll take us that long to build and test it. Perhaps an Alpha to our broadcasters a bit sooner.

If all goes well, we'll be making a more official announcement here in the Mobile boards in a few days and on the website in a week or so.

At the same time, we're working on an iPhone version for about the same time frame. We just released a new downloads page today that mentions that.

So lots of mobile stuff going on around here and it's very exciting for us! I just wish it could be quicker!

Thanks,

I can't wait to get my BB phone and for this to come out...

Here is a link to the thread that I got this from... It's on Page 2 of the thread and was posted by radio365mobile.

Well, I can't really compare since I don't have XM, but Live365 has over 10,000 internet radio stations and most have CD quality output.

I will say that not all of Live365 stations will be broadcast on the BB, I believe that only "Pro" broadcaster stations will be able to broadcast with Live365 Mobile offerings... Copyright costs you know... but that's 1000's of stations anyway... a lot more than XM or Sirius put together.

This should be interesting to see how this is received in the BB community.

I for one will be using it since I listen to a lot of 365 stations that you can't get elsewhere. Some really good stations there.

This sounds really good. Hopefully it will work well with the BB, I'd stream music on my curve all the time if i could

[dlt123]

I really like Live365, I listen only to Ambient music and they have over 158 stations that play Ambient music alone... so my offerings are huge.

I can't wait to be able to play my stations in my car and will have to figure out how I can pump my stations from my BB, when I get it, to my car radio...

I know there are some kits you can buy, I just have to figure which is best suited to me.

They may have more stations and possibly better programing but they still do not have Howard, Bubba, or Ferrell.

I'm old school. I have a late model car but never upgraded my cassette deck to a CD player. So I just plug in a cassette deck adapter and pipe my mp3 player through the car stereo that way. I do the same thing with my BB using the media player or Moodia. Works great for me.
How's that for irony...BB on my hip, cassette player in the car. Sometimes I'm so ashamed.

You're actually ahead of the curve on this one, you've turned your older cassette deck into a state of the art reception machine.

They also have the equivalent in CD form, but I'm not sure where to get them. I should check with eBay.

[Edit] I checked on eBay but found no CD equivalent but did find this...
