Internet Radio on Nokia E61
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!

How to i listen to asx files on the E61, becuase i have three radio stations that i would love to listen to on the phone
September 18th, 2006 at 2:37 am
Wow! I was so excited to see this workaround. Especially as the Nokia Real player help file specifically says ‘Streaming not supported’.
Unfortunately when I try it out, I just get the Connecting’ dialog for a long time & then the ‘Unable to connect to server. Time-out’ message.
(I’ve installed the .ram files in the video folder & set the connection to my home wifi network) Does this only work if you have the latest E61 firmware update installed?
September 18th, 2006 at 2:51 am
Great work! How do I get the files for German radio stations? What do I have to do?
September 18th, 2006 at 3:10 am
mine working fine, i’m still using old firmware.
September 18th, 2006 at 3:16 am
I have not got the latest firmware, and the workaround works fine for me. All of the stations worked ok, but some streaming lists are intermittant.
In my experience the BBC stations are the most consistent links.
September 18th, 2006 at 4:13 am
Hi,
Thanks a lot for this list of station. It’d be indeed a good idea to compile a list of stations that are known to work with the E61.
I got it to work fine with Orange UK 3G (using the Orange Internet AP, not the Orange GPRS one) - still on the first firmware. For some reason, it doesn’t seem to work via IP Passthrough (it connects fine then says “Loading” for a while and eventually complains about a timeout or a disconection). I’ll try via wifi when i’ll be back home.
Alternatively, there’s also Nokia Internet Radio which allows you to listen to shoutcast stations and works very well over wifi or IP Passthrough: http://opensource.nokia.com/projects/s60internetradio/ClientPage.html
The only problem is that it comes with a playlist with just a few stations so we’d need to compile a list of working stations for that too.
September 18th, 2006 at 4:56 am
Well, mine works good as well. Even using GPRS but better ofcourse when on UMTS connection. Only i live in the Netherlands and with invinite wisdome, most radio stations and broadcasters have decided to only use windows media player for their streaming content. So does anybody have a working WMV-file player for the E61 yet? That also plays streaming feeds!?
I recently also downloaden Super video, I think I saw it on nokme or one of the other weblogs that is linked here. But converting avi, mpeg whatever to 3gp and with AAC quality sound is a breeze right now..only the aspect ratio is still a bit of, because the program does not support 240×320..
September 18th, 2006 at 6:03 am
Why don’t you use Nokia’s Open Source ‘Internet Radio’ found here:
http://opensource.nokia.com/projects/s60internetradio/
September 18th, 2006 at 6:10 am
Tried from home via wifi and it worked like a charm.
There’s a problem though, and a very big one: unless i’ve missed something RealPlayer stops playing whenever it’s sent in the background. This renders this whole internet radio thing pretty much useless since you can’t do anything with your phone when it’s playing Internet radios and you can’t even put it in your pocket since you can’t lock the keypad when RealPlayer is in the foreground. Has anybody found a trick to force RealPlayer to keep playing when sent to the background?
September 18th, 2006 at 6:54 am
Hi Neil,
I do use Nokia’s ope source radio. I wrote about it here:
http://www.e-series.org/archives/14
Hi Vioccc,
Unfortunately! there doesn’t seem to be a way to send RealPlayer to the background without stopping the radio! You are right - this is a big problem.
Cheers
September 18th, 2006 at 9:27 am
Hello again,
I believe I’ve found a way to send RealPlayer to the background without stopping the radio:-
1) Turn off any auto keylock program.
2) Start RealPlayer with your favourite streaming link.
3) Wait for the screen saver to be activated.
4) Press the menu key, and you should be able to select any function.
It worked for me, using old firmware, anyway. Good luck.
Steve.
September 18th, 2006 at 9:38 am
Park cast works good if you only want to listen to 4 radio stations
September 18th, 2006 at 11:26 am
Sending RealPlayer to the background worked fine as Steve mentioned above using the latest firmware.

Guys help !
Similar to what somebody else posted here I just get the “Connecting” dialog for a long time & then the “Unable to connect to server. Time-out” message. I’m trying to connect through my home wifi.
Please share your settings !!!
September 18th, 2006 at 10:58 pm
Normally if the server shows a time-out message, it will be running at full capacity.
What station are you trying, Arthur?
September 18th, 2006 at 11:45 pm
Unfortunately it times out for every radio station in the above links.
Is there only one version of Real player? (mine says: S60.30.11.03D)
Have u all left the proxy setting blank?
September 19th, 2006 at 5:04 am
A German list of online radio stations can be found here: http://www.mikesradioworld.com/eu_de.html
However, the links to the respective streamings mostly have the (real audio?) extension .smil.
I don´t know how to convert them to .ram, yet, but it should not be so difficult… Any knowledge, here?
There are also some (microsoft) .asx extensions. Don´t know what to do with them, yet…
September 19th, 2006 at 7:36 am
I am not using a proxy, and am using my wireless network as the default access point
My online time is set to unlimited, and ports from 6970 to 32000. I’ve got the same version of Real Player as you, Infinitybeach.
Hope this helps,
Steve.
September 19th, 2006 at 7:49 am
I have the same problem as mentioned by Infinitybeach… I am pretty sure my Real Player settings are correct as the Real Player can play the audio streaming clip from this test website http://test.orb.com , but from not the channels saved in the .ram files…
Could it be the ISP blocking it? Hope you may help…
September 19th, 2006 at 9:24 am
I can only presume your ISP is blocking streaming audio. I did find the following link on the real Audio forums:-
http://real.lithium.com/real/board/message?board.id=realplayer&message.id=11920
Do any of the links work for you on 3G?
September 19th, 2006 at 9:53 am
Very nice. Works perfectly! I couldn’t get shoutcast to work (maybe blocked in my firewall) but this works fine.
September 19th, 2006 at 9:53 am
Thanks for the suggestion.
I tried to switch the connection to 3G. It showed the “Loading…” screen but then returned error message “Unable to connect to server”.
On the other hand, I tried to open the .ram file on my laptop using the same WLAN AP, and it works fine. The issue appears reside on the E61.
confused confused confused…

Today I’m cross because I really wanted to try a couple of things with the E61. E-Series has a really interesting article on Internet Radio that I wanted to try out; also I’ve been hearing alot of good things about Truphone for the Nokia E Series.

Try shoutcast you can get hundreds of stations from there you will only be able to mp3 but their are plenty out there. Make sure when you download internet radio station and shoutcast file as well. If you have any problem let me know
September 28th, 2006 at 10:56 am

Suggestion for those who get “server timeout” error messages when trying to access Internet Radio (such as: infinitybeach).
I had the same problem and found that it was the firewall on my wireless router. Seems that RealPlayer on the E61 is not firewall friendly (I could access Internet Radio on the same wireless network using my PC).
Solution, that worked for me, was to forward the audio ports (default in Real Player is UDP 6970-32000) on the firewall to your E61 Phone’s IP Address.
To reduce the number of ports that I was opening on my firewall I set the real player’s Highest UDP port to 7170. (RealPlayer->Options->Settings->Connection->Network).
I then forwarded UDP 6970-7170 to my E61’s IP address.
Hope this helps.

So microsoft has made an agreement with nokia.
Where the development of this “win med player” for Symbian phones?
It would be nice to stream local AM and FM radio stations.
October 24th, 2006 at 10:41 am
I cannot now use RealPlayer to stream audio which I had been doing without any problems. Through T-Mobile, I get the following error message after the Connecting, Loading dialogues - “Unable to connect to server. Server time-out.” I’m using T-Mobile, US with an unlocked phone. I set the access point to wap.voicestream.com as directed elsewhere. I’m thinking this may be the problem, as I had the phone in Europe recently and may have lost a previous AP config. which I thought had a different address (other than voicestream). Interestingly enough if I try to use my WLAN (RealPlayer / Settings / Connection / Network), I get “Unable to Connect” All (T-Mobile and WLAN) works fine for web browsing. — Anyone any clues where the problem may be … T-Mobile? Access Point?

I know of lots of good streaming radio stations, but how do I make a .ram file if I know the URL of the station ?? I see others have asked this and no one has responded to their question, so I am going to ask again. How does one go about making a .ram file for a given station that can be transfered on to their e61 to stream the music ?
November 11th, 2006 at 6:53 pm
I am using the Nokia Internet Radio app. on my e61. I’m able to add streams from some stations and play them, but whenever I try to add them from WFMU.org in any form (mp3/.pls hi and low, aac+/.pls ), the app crashes whenever I try to “select radio station” and I have to remove the .pls file. I really want to be able to stream this station, why would it not work for this one and work for others?
November 12th, 2006 at 4:34 am
The URL of a station will be a ram file if it is a Real Media file. Real Player will work on Real Media streams.
What station are you looking to stream, Gary?
WFMU will not play using Real Player, as AAC+ needs the Nokia Internet Radio application.
November 13th, 2006 at 10:24 am

about ip passthrough
at the beginning i had issues, but a guy helped me, and its really working perfectly! installing nokia network bridge is required only for drivers, cause i do not use it at all in ip passthrough setup and use. first of all, creat an ip passthrough access point on your phone. name it as you wish, for data bearer select ip passthrough and thats all! install nokia network bridge. then connect your phone to your pc via cable, cause thats the only way to have it working. when connecting, select ‘ip passthrough’ and then let the pc recognize it. it will ask for your drivers, use oem11.inf drivers listed. if it says ‘the device cannot start’, restart your phone! then you should let your pc aquire the network which will have limited functionality. let it be that way. go to control panel, enter network connection and select create a home or small office network. if there are any disconnected connections listed, ignore it. in next window select directly to the internet option which is the first one. choose next, and then select your pc internet connection. next, select your e series RNDIS connection listed. next, do not turn on file and printer sharing, choose next at it will start connecting. when it gets connected, it will ask for your windows xp cd, do not use it, check the last option which says something about not required on your device bla bla… and that is all!!! try to browse something from your phone, use ip passthrough connection in it, and happy surfing!!!

Hi Guys,
I have read through this and I am having the same problem as Gaffers. I have T-Mobile USA as my carrier and I am E61 unlocked. Whenever I try playing a streaming .ram file or even download a .ram file, I get “Unable to connect to server. Server time-out.” I have even tried to download the streaming links but no help there. Any solutions to this? I would simply like to click on e.g. a BBC link of streaming live news and for it to be able to play on my RealPlayer or to download a news broadcast and for it to play.
Also, I have visited the Nokia Internet Radio link and when I try to click on it, I simply get weired stuff on the screen the link does not work. Any help here as well?
Much appreciated and I must say say I love my E61!!!

I can play BBC stations on my e61 when connected to my provider’s streamer — but that becomes expensive if listening for any extended period of time. I have tried to connect via a wifi hotspot and by my own wireless network but as soon as Real Player starts, the phone automatically connects to the service provider and I start paying big euros again. Is there any way to listen to radio streams via wifi using the e61 built-in Real Player?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Catlip:
I am now listening to BBC 2 on the e61 using my home wifi. BBC has changed all the URLs for radio stations. I connected to BBC 2 by going to the BBC radio homepage http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/ then clicking on Radio 2, listen live then clicking on use standalone Real Player, all of the foregoing on the e61.
January 22nd, 2007 at 7:08 am
I finally managed to connect my e61 to the Internet for radio streaming via my home network. However, the only way I can get it to connect is to put the e61 IP address in the DMZ of my wireless router. Note on IP address: use the address assigned by the wireless router to the e61 connection — it generally remains unchanged — not the physical IP address of the e61.
It is therefore not surprising that I cannot connect via a wifi hospot (although web browsing works fine). It would be nice to listen to radio streams when on the road, but NOT using the (expensive) phone provider streaming service.
Does anyone out there know if, and how, changing e61 settings will resolve this issue?

regarding playing .smil stream - go to http://helixcommunity.org/ and try with Helix Player… I can’t confirm if it worked, because there’s no s60 3rd version yet, for my n80 (announced for March 07), and package is too large to install it on my 7650

Hi
I am trying to use ORB on my E61 to connect to my PC when on the move. The program works perfectly for docs, photos etc however streaming (both audio and video) is a problem. The site either does not connect or connects start loading and then disconnects
Has anyone been able to stream audio/video files on E61?
Thanks

[...] S60 Internet Radio Das E61 hat ja kein integriertes UKW-Radio, aber Internet Radio ist jederzeit möglich (wenn man eine ordentliche Datenflatrate hat). Nokia bietet nämlich das S60 Internet Radio für den kostenlosen Download an. Als Beispiel ist schon eine Playlist mit einigen Internet-Radiostationen dabei, man kann ich aber leicht eigene hinzufügen. Dazu ruft man z.B. unter WinAMP die Liste der verfügbaren Shoutcast-Server auf, packt die gewünschten Server in eine Playlist und speichert diese im .PLS-Format ab. Dieses muß man dann nur noch unter c:shoutcast auf dem E61 installieren. Der Musikstream klappt überraschend gut, selbst wenn man nur über eine langsame GPRS-Datenverbindung verfügt. Zwei Probleme habe ich aber noch: Erstens bekomme ich immer eine Fehlermeldung, wenn ich über WLAN verbinden will (er kann sich wohl nicht zum Server verbinden) und zweitens sind die Streams immer Mono. Zweiteres könnte natürlich auch daran liegen, dass die Bandbreite bei GPRS nicht mehr hergibt. Oder kann das E61 nur Mono? Eine Alternative zum S60 Internet Radio ist übrigens der vorinstallierte Realplayer. Auf E-Series.org habe ich einen interessanten Artikel dazu gefunden. [...]

You can stream music from your home computer or any computer you install Orb onto. It’s a program that lets you stream music from any place in the world in many different formats, including MP3, Real Player, Flash, etc. Check it out…

Hi all,
I still cannot play rtsp stream on my E65. I’ve tried to forward the UDP ports, and even activate a DMZ on its IP address. I always get a “time out error”.
I don’t understand why this happens, expecially because the first time I’ve tried, everything was working right. After turning off the router, it seems that the magic settings was lost
Nobody here have a Linksys router?

Hi,
I have an E61 with the latest firmware. I have installed the RAM files but no radio stations can connect.
In the E61 RealPlayer I use Options->Settings->Connections->Network->Default access point = “Elisa Internet” (Finnish operator).
Has anyone else used Internet Radio on an E61 in Finland with the Elisa network?
Any advice for workarounds is greatly welcomed.
Many Thanks,
BigAl

Hi I,m from India. Firstly Thanks for this wonderful,awesome Radio i ever dreant abt in my E61i. But some of the radio stations d,t work at all !!
Please give me the streaming link to some Hindi or Punjabi radio stations or nay Indian radio stations ??

hi - i have an e61i and following the instructions at top, have streaming radio working great via realplayer (at least on wlan, haven’t tried it via t-mo internet yet).
I too have the same problem with the bay area’s kqed. I tried grabbing a current link from kqed.org, but it only gives you a link to the ad, which i assume then connects you with the program. you can avoid the ad on a computer by listening with itunes instead of realplayer, but that doesn’t give you an url to use in realplayer. anyone know how to capture the URL from realplayer once kqed’s programming starts to play?

just want to add that neither real nor shoutcast will connect via edge on t-mobile, no matter the bitrate, although both work perfectly with wireless lan connection.

Hi, thanks for this forum, i got the radio now working on my E90, but i cant work out almost all of the BBC links. Also i wish to listen to the BBC radio in my native language “swahili” available at the website “http://www.bbc.co.uk/swahili” but i havent managed so far. So should there be any kind of assistance i will highly appreciate. Also the shoutcast radio works very well but there r only few links to radios i dont know if there r some more, but so far its been nice..Great guys..keep up..

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?

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!
March 3rd, 2008 at 11:56 pm
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…)
