Omkar™ 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2007 (edited) Its a world of wireless connectivity, and a hoard of I/O devices to choose from! And all of it applies to music needs! When it comes to listening to songz all day, I'd prefer the headphones, rather than the sound-system making the society aware of it just for the bass! Now there's an online radio station that I'd like to listen to all day ~ but I'm roaming around my place all day - you know its not possible to be in the same room forever! But I'd like to have it uninterrupted! So instead of using the sound system on my PC, I'd use the headphones on my cell phone! You see, I've got a Bluetooth™ Dongle for my PC and a Sony Ericsson™ Z550i Cell Phone (which obviously support Bluetooth™) I have the Walkman Series DeepBass headphones with MegaBass™, n they're as often in my ears as I'm awake with 'em! I'd love to listen to this online radio channel on those beauties! I was wondering whether its possible to stream the audio output from the PC to the cell phone via a Bluetooth™link? Can you suggest any software that would allow me for this? Software applies to both PC and cellphone (Z550i supports Java™ applications) All help is appreciated! P.S.:This is not to be thought of as streaming audio from the cell phone to a Bluetooth™ Headset! And please excuse the over-usage of the trademark, its just that it looks so geek!

faulty.lee 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2007 I guess that quite unlikely. Cause the way bluetooth audio works is like server and client. I'm not sure of the exact term, but this is how it works. The client can only receive, and awaits instruction. They cannot connect to another client by themself. They provide a list of function available to the server, then the server choose which function/functions they want use. Bluetooth headset is a client. Bluetooth phone and pc is the server, where they can manage a few client at the same time, and decide what to do with it. The thing about phone is that it can't act as a client, or when it does, it mostly act as a serial or push obx client, thus you can only use the bluetooth connection to transfer or sync it's content. If you try to explore the functions on the phone from your pc, if you can see the audio gateway, then you can stream the audio to your phone. Maybe it's not that likely, but in future it will be.

xerxes1405241546 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2007 (edited) A sound idea I must say . Too bad it looks like faulty.lee explained. When it come to wireless audio I'm still waiting for "digital signal over radio waves" to hit affordable prizes and single-user market (ex. Fantaay audio systems). Regular radio-based systems provide too much noise (even if the system is really high quality, like those by Sennheiser, there is still chance for plenty of external interference) and the infrared-based sets are far from being comfortable.

burqe 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2007 Is it possible to stream video via bluetooth. Practical experiance says that bluetooth 2.0 transfer data as fast as 15KBps which become 96kbps which is a very good bandwidth of considerable quality video. I was thinking to write an application for symbian platform that could get the mobile phone camera output to the nearby computer via bluetooth so that it could be used as a webcam. If any one has an idea how to do this. Please help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
