I thought it might be time to update this post a little as it has been a while since doing so. The original post will remain (underneath the newer information).
A topic of discussion over the web suggests there is a need to find a good provider for BlackBerry users to be able to listen to the radio on there PDA devices. So this inspired me to go on a hunt and in particular find a low cost or free provider for radio on the BlackBerry PDA.
You are interested in listening to the radio on your BlackBerry? Well as usual I will try my best to get some useful information / links to you to come of the better internet radio resources available.
Smart Phone and Blackberry Internet Radio Providers
Here are a few of what I would consider the top providers of SmartPhone / BlackBerry Radio.
MOG
Mog – A subscription service network where a monthly fee will get you millions of songs streamed to your computers, SmartPhones and TVs. The best thing is you can do right now is trial the service free for 14 days.
This list is to be continued.
The Information below is part of the original post, however may be a little outdated now
I have been researching this topic for a while and trying search for free ways you listen to the radio on your BlackBerry for free. Not an easy task really.
I have however managed to find a website which does seem to support free radio on your BlackBerry with no cost at all to implement. The only cost is the bandwidth used to transmit the radio from the stations or moodio website to your Phone or PDA. Is it worth the cost? Im not sure that it is. However, as promised here is how you can listen to the radio on your BlackBerry PDA.
A little about Moodio
Moodio.fm brings the radio to your BlackBerry or other mobile device with ease. It allows you to listen to live audio streaming of any channel you want through the internal media player your device has.
Moodio.fm is a website allowing for a free and simple sign up to their system, which then enables you to add your stations or select from predefined stations and then access them on your device through the m.moodio.fm website.
The setup is pretty straight forward.
1. Create a user account to use with Moodio
2. You can then add your favourite radio stations that you want to access from your BlackBerry to your “My Stations” list within your account panel.
3. Then browse to m.moodio.fm on your BlackBerry or other PDA Device / Mobile Phone, simply login and browse the list you made online.
The best thing about this service is that unlike others, there is little software to be installed and the initial cost isn’t there. However, as mentioned there is obviously cost with the bandwidth your BlackBerry Device uses while you are listening to your stations.
Hope this helps out a little.
Omg that works great, thank you so much, i was afraid there will be no apps for my Storm that will play radio, but this works like a charm! THANK YOU!
It really works GREAT. Thanx!!! Im a BB bold owner.
I tried this and got “unsupported media type”. Do you know a solution?
moodio.fm changes its name to yourmuze.fm today. moodio links will work for the rest of 2010. A few nice new features the same great price!
I wud like 2 hv a radio on my bb curve bt I dnt knw 2 download it cvud please help
Unbelievable a brand new BlackBerry Curve and it does not even have a radio reciever built in. Now that is what I call BAD DESIGN.
Why like other phone makers does it not have a radio built in. I see no reason to pay for data use when I should be able to use the phone as other makes do.
I will be switching out of BB to a platform that will let me listen to the Radio for free at the earliest opportunity.
Apart from the above it’s not a bad phone, but not exciting enough for me with too many let downs.
Dissapointed, from Lyminge.
