MLB Gameday audio on the Touch Pro?

donkeythekidd · #1 (**permalink**) 03-26-2009, 09:22 PM

Is it possible to listen to the MLB gameday audio for the PC on the Touch Pro? I know theres the mobile version for $5 a month but if the one for the PC will work its only $15 for all season so I'd rather go with that one. So has anyone tried it and what did you use to get it to work?

Thanks!

On the MLB website it shows $4.99 a month for the mobile audio but when I went to http://m.mlb.com/gda/index.jsp from my phone it was only $2.49 a month so I went ahead and signed up for the mobile version.

It would seem that the gameday audio feed is encoded on flash, so skyfire should work and opera may work as well...

MLB.com Gameday Audio works on most browsers with Flash Player 9 (or higher) installed and with Internet connection speed higher than 512 Kbps.

I was able to even watch some video feeds with skyfire yesterday, and the audio came through fine on that - so I would assume the regular audio feed would work well, too.

I went ahead and signed up for the mobile version since it was only $2.49 a month. I listened to a game last night but it wasnt as clear as I was hoping it would be.

I used opera. It wasnt choppy it sounds muffled and theres a bunch of background noise, high pitch wistle, static. I'll try IE and see if that works better.
