I'm looking for any way to stream music to my Windows mobile phone. Commercial apps, free apps, interwebs radio, etc. I'd even like to look into streaming my home MP3 collection to my phone. FYI, I've got an unlimited data plan on my phone. Any help is appreciated as the radio in my town sucks nuts and I'd rather not pay for satellite radio (not to mention the technical difficulties involved in getting something like that into my car...dont ask)
 
I seem to recall being able to use Pandora when I had my old blackjack 2.
 
Pandora works on my phone (Moto Q9) but it's useless because I don't have a headphone out.
 
Tried Pandora. There is something wonky about WinMo 6.5 it doesn't like. Nothing shows up when I run the program, just the blank background. No login no nothing. Anyway, I'll give Orb.com a try, thanks. Any other suggestions? Last.FM was great till they pulled support for third party apps. WinMo and Blackberry people are out in the cold till they develop something in house.

I hate mobile phone manufacturers that insist on using a dongle or putting a 2.5mm jack on the handset for headphones. Or worse, like in my case, a dongle that has a 2.5mm jack.

Yeah but they do have limited space these days so it's hard to blame 'em. They do have pretty small dongles or just straight up USB headphones that probably aren't too bad. Here's another quick search:

Yeah, but I use my phone in my car through the tape adapter. I need that 3.5mm jack. Headphones are all well and good, the phone even came with a half decent set with integrated mic for when someone calls. The radio stations in this town suck donkey dicks and I'm tired of listening to the same goddamned songs every day.

Whoa tape adapters, old school. :p That first link in the previous post was a 3.5mm dongle if you missed it, it's not too big either.

Yeah, my case is a bit special since its an HTC Touch. Stupid 11 pin USB adapter dongle thingie. And I'm stuck with the tape adapter. I'd love to get a new head unit for my car but since its a 99 Maxima, I can't just go out and buy one. The head unit doesn't provide any power to the speakers, but rather the speakers have the amps built in. I'd have to buy an entirely new sound system for my car if I ever wanted to upgrade. So tape adapter it is.
