Streaming PC Library to TP2

[nobunschit]

Has anyone been able to stream their PC content (music or videos) from a Windows 7 PC to their Touch Pro 2?

It seems like something like this would be easy to setup w/ Windows 7 out of the box...especially given we're running Windows Mobile...

...but I've tried using the built in streaming capabilities of Windows Media Player, enabling streaming, linking a Windows Live ID, etc - and I can't get it to work.

once set up on the pc does it give you a link to your stream?

I don't see one. I can only link it to an online ID. I think you have to somehow discover it through Windows Live.

That's a shame. Oh well. Maybe they'll get it right with Windows Mobile 7 or whatever the next big version is.

There's got to be something out there. I had an HP Ipaq RX-3715 that did this... Not very well but it did it. I used the wifi on it to connect to all my multimedia on my pc and I could listen to my entire music library through my ipaq's headphone jack. I'm sure there's some software out there.

I've had absolutely no problems streaming from orb. You can even set up playlists on your pc, select the playlist from orb and listen to whatever you like. There's also the option to use total commander to access your network share (ie drive with mp3's on it that has been shared). Using this method, you can browse to the folder and select whatever song you want to hear.

Another option that works pretty well for streaming music from your PC to your TP2, is Didiom. It will even play your itunes songs, if you're into that. It responds very quickly, as if the music is right there on your phone! I have been an Alpha and Beta tester since first release and it keeps getting better!
