Cool! Now I can start up the FM-transmitter and transmit the Internet Radio signal to a normal radio! But seriously, thanks for the urls. I particularly like Groove FM and for some reason I just can’t get the FM Tuner app to do anything at all.

Hub: I find it pretty nice that the ogg support is nicely packaged there for you. Sure, not installed by default, but as easy to install as it can be.. I guess there are reasons why it is not there by default – if there werent, it would be there..

Any info on installing ogg/vorbis/flac decoders on other Nokia phones? I have the 5300 express music – or something like that, and can only get mp3 format to play, but it’s so lossy that the sound kind of sucks.

No surprise here about the lack of Ogg/Vorbis support.

Also totally flabbergasted why ogg vorbis isn’t installed by default.

Uh… why do you have to manually install Ogg/Vorbis support on N900? I’d have thought this codec would be installed out of the box, no?

The stream seems to play nicely with Totem, but not with Banshee or Rhythmbox. They (www.metroradio.fi) are streaming Groove FM in Ogg, too: http://217.30.180.242:8000/gvfm.ogg.m3u

I’ve failed the comment security code twice already! I wonder what’s wrong with me.
