Windows Phone Thoughts: Other Content For Your Pocket PC - What Do You Listen To?

I regularly listen to music as well as "The Wall Street Journal" from Audible on my Pocket PC. I'm not a huge fan of audio books though. I'd rather read them, in ebook format of course. :wink: There are times though when I'd like to listen to something for hours and for now, I've found something pretty good. Reasons.org has a weekly radio show that is broadcast over the internet.


Of course, that means you have to be near your computer, which is no good. Fortunately, they convert the show to MP3 format. They strip the ads out, which is nice, but a 1.5 hr show is $3 per download, a bit too much for my taste. I found where they offer a full quarter on a CD in MP3 format for $25, which breaks down to around $1.80 per show on the CD. The files are pretty large, ranging from 39-45MB per 90 minute episode, but I can convert them to WMA format and get them down to a slightly more manageable 29-31MB per episode. Good thing I have a 512MB SD card. :D We listened to 4 shows (6 hrs) during our trip to Mid-Ohio last weekend.

I know CNet Radio has a 30 minute download in the form of a 9MB MP3 file, but they require a proprietary delivery system instead of just letting you get the MP3 file, so that got whacked quick. Manually I might add as the uninstaller did little more than remove the shortcut from the desktop. :evil:

What else is out there?
