Doug,
Yes, your stream link does not load the Windows Media Player in the Pocket PC. It just reloads your home page. The player in the Pocket PC is very limited in what it recognizes. You may need a regular .asx file off of a url to work. This is what I do at WebTalk Radio. I even offer a Pocket PC version of my website for the show. Here is the link to it: http://www.webtalkguys.com/mazingo-text/articles-home.htm

Its also worth downloading GSPlayer for the PocketPC. It will stream mp3’s no problem, plus its free and a great player with lots of options.

This isn’t a solution, or even a work around, but it is an alternate use case. I use a HP IPac 5550, but I use Ipodder to download everything when I’m not paying attention. Then I use Active Sync to cut and past from the laptop to the IPac, play everything and hit “skip to next trak” when I hit something I don’t want to listen to. O.K – I’m not a particularly discriminating listener, but then I do over 1,000K’s a week in the care in two and three hour stints, so I plug the IPac into a fake cassette, plug that into the car tape player and listen to IT Conversation over the car stereo. Works for me – might work for others.
