For those of us unfortunate souls who may not be able to be near a computer at the right time, is there another way to access this audio stream, say, from a reasonably capable data cell phone (e.g. Motorola v3xx)? I have used my v3xx to go to byulacrossewebcasting.com, but although it shows (almost) the whole webpage, it doesn't seem to give access to the embedded player, and when trying to use the SHOUTcast link, clicking on "Listen" it just says "File Type Not Recognized" (I don't THINK this is just because there's nothing playing at the moment). Has anyone else had any success in methods like these? I will likely be driving at the time, and while I can get the live stats on my phone (sort of), rather than trying to look at that, it would be much nicer to just listen to the webcast.

How about a laptop with the internet connection via your cell phone?

Nice idea (Thanks!), but unfortunately I haven't been able to justify the $60/month for the data service to do that. You'd like to think that a phone that ballyhoos streaming audio and video would be able to handle this, but I haven't figured out how to make it happen yet, AT&T doesn't know, and Motorola is closed for the night.

It's 11-3 in the 3rd quarter. Why are Hier, Manning, Austin, Grow, etc. still in the game?

anyone have any details on the 3 penalties that resulted in an ejection for byu?

by **CATLAX MAN** on Sat Mar 08, 2008 4:45 pm

A player was ejected for punching.

Someone please give that poor announcer a cough drop or a glass of water.

rough day for the defense of state, giving up more goals through 3 periods then they did in any game last year. havent replaced last years seniors yet apparently

Well, not that anybody cares, but (necessity being the mother of invention, and all) I solved my technical problem (although I would still like to find a more elegant solution). I used a spare cell phone that we have, placed it next to my computer speaker, and called myself from it, then drove off being able to listen to the webcast that way...

That made my day....

Glad to have been able to provide some entertainment value.

So as not to sound totally helpless, I did try a number of other things first, including downloading the Opera Mini browser Java app to my phone (this was the Motorola guy's big (unofficial) suggestion)), which didn't play the SHOUTcast stream either (although it failed with different symptoms). The browsers don't seem to like to deal with the listen.pls that SHOUTcast provides. It seems like there ought to be something like a Winamp mobile app that would fit the bill (then I could just enter the URL directly to the player?), but I haven't found anything yet. If anybody does have another suggestion, I'd appreciate it.
