Pocket Streamer -- .NET CF App To Select And Play Music
Posted by Janak Parekh in "DEVELOPER" @ 06:15 PM
"This application allows you to browse the music library held on your desktop PC from your Pocket PC, select an artist, album, track or radio station, stream it over a network connection and listen to it on your Pocket PC. Using this application you can carry your entire music collection around with you without the hassle of downloading selected tracks to an expansion card. You can also listen to many Internet radio stations without being tied to your PC. As long as you have a network connection to your desktop, you can listen to your music library wherever you are, including theoretically from the other side of the world by using a WiFi hotspot."
Not only is this a free little application, it's a client-server development example -- source code is provided so you budding .NET CF developers can take a look and use the codebase as a model. Cool stuff. 8) I'm assuming that there is no official support, though, since it's a one-person "Unedited Reader Contribution".
Incidentally, there are also other downloads available from The Code Project that use .NET CF and do a number of useful tasks; you can take a look at the listing here.
