The RealPlayer application on the Nokia E61 supports streaming of video and audio. The application works very well and you can easily listen to Internet radio broadcast on the Nokia E61. *IF* you know the URL that is.
The main obstacle for me, and probably many more Nokia E61 users, is that I don't have the URL to various radio stations and therefore not use this feature that much.
I recently received an email from Steve who was kind enough to send me 67 files with URLs to various Internet radio broadcasts in the UK. With Steve's UK Radio Links you have plenty of stations to choose from. I decided to compile a few of my favourite Bay Area stations and make them available as well.
Here's how you can easily listen to these radio stations on your Nokia E61:
Download Steve's UK Radio Links and my (very modest collection) of Bay Area Radio Stations and transfer them to your "Videos" folder on your Nokia E61.
You can use Nokia PC Suite's Phone Browser on a PC or Mac's "Browse Device" function to copy the files to the Video folder. The file path is /C:/Data/Videos/
To access the radio stations go to Media > Gallery > Streaming Links
If it is the first time you use RealPlayer to stream media it will ask you to define the default access point first. Go to Media > RealPlayer > Options > Settings > Connections > Network to specify your preferred access point.
You can use the joystick to "browse" for radio stations or just start typing in the name of the station to quickly find the station you are looking for.
Calling out for more radio stations!
Please send me .RAM files of your favourite radio stations. I will keep adding them to the above Zip packages so that we have more stations to choose from. Send your files to "ed youknowwhatgoeshere e-series.org"
Thanks Steve!
Helo again, i was again trying to explore the possibility of watching internet tv via phone…there is this application called ggtv.. it works with other phones but not the E90 as it runs S60 3rd Seried.Is anyone familiar with the application that i can try to use to watch internet tv in S60 Series 3..or specifically E90..?
All this advice is truly great and I followed the steps to set up various stations on my E61. And yes there they are are exactly as they should be when I go to Real - Streaming links. However I consistently get the following messages:
“Unable to Connect” or “Unable to Connect to Server. Connection Time Out” when I try to access stations including BBC and Virgin radio.
I’ve also tried to directly set up a link to BBC Radio 4 (using the URL string given in a post above but same problem.
Any thoughts on how I can get around this? It’s frustrating since clearly I’m ever so close to sorting out a great resource on my phone.
Thanks in advance!!
Um… my E90 streams Real streams for anything between about 9 seconds and 20 seconds of audio then disconnects… any ideas?
Hi!
Great site! The radio Station Jazz.fm91 (Canada) does not work on my e61. Real player says: Unable to play media clip!
Can you help me?Thanks in advance!
Hi i am Deep from india. How can i install and hear your radio on my nokia e61i mobile phone ?can i hear it with active gprs by indian gsm network bsnl ? Is its a paid service ?
This also works on my Sony Ericsson w660i.
Great work, all I need to do now is get it to work on my X-box 360 and I’m set for life!
Scratch that last comment, actually only a few of the bay area stations work, and none of the UK ones.
Also, the station I want to listen to the most doesn;t appear to be able to work at all!:(
Hi there
I also had the same problem of not being able to connect real player over WiFi
- no problem with the wifi on the phone or the computer (browsing works fine on phone)
- no problem connecting to real player streams over phone data network
I also was successful by adding the phone’s IP address in the DMZ of my wireless router. This is done by logging into the router (see the user manual) and then looking for active connections, noting the phone’s IP address assigned by the router, the find the DMZ link/tool in the router’s user interface, and add it in there.
This is all fine of course for using it at home, so I repeat David S’s comments, is there not any way to fix this within the phone itself to enable streaming over any open wifi?
Or is it perhaps something that Real Player / Nokia have blocked.
Thanks for any suggestion (never did work out how to forward a UDP port to an IP address, but it now works with a number of UDP setttings, so wonder if that is really the problem. The wikipedia entry on UDP looked helpful, but….
What a funny way to spend a saturday afternoon…)
please inform about some links that i can use on my mobile Nokia E61i as arabic radio stations like rotana radio, mbc fm etc.
I will be really thankfull if you can prepare links for these stations.
thanks and best regards

Hi, not sure if it is possible but it will be great if you can add this radio station to your list: http://www.680news.com/listen/listen-live/.
