I love resco radio I am just waiting for them to support mms streams then it will be my #1 until then I must keep SelectRadio around. SelectRadio now supports MyMP3Tunes.com so you can stream your own mp3s to it which is cool when you cant find anything else worth listening to.

Is there anyway to turn off the screen while streaming without loosing the connection?
I wanna do it to save battery because while streaming the battery gets drained real fast.

If you are using wmp you can set a hot key to toggle the screen on or off. Under menu-options buttons you can change it. This helped out the battery life quite a bit on my 700wx. It will still be a big drain since the data connection stays quite active.

I have attached a template that I found somewhere. You will then be able to access any of the xm online stations directly. I found this file on one of the ppc forums and would link to it if i could find it but i did add the AOL online channels too it on the end myself. IMO it is much better than using the xm online programs out there or using pie to lauch the streams.

You MUST conver this file into playlist formay by saving as a .asx (i.e. XM Satellite Radio.asx) file before moving it to your phone and opening it in WM as well as add your xm account info in place of the XM_USERNAME and XM_PASSWORD placeholders on the file using find and replace or manually.

If anyone has the link perhaps they could post it.

Not sure if it was mentioned, as I skimmed through, but Pandora is a pretty cool app. You just type in an artist/album/song that you like, and it will play song related to that song based on genre/beat/tempo/etc. I have heard from someone that it gets repetitive, but they use it as their primary radio in their car, as to where I only use it when I am bored or want to listen to music and don't have my Zune on hand. I would definitely suggest checking it out.
