Looking For Alternatives to the Rio Software

I am looking for an alternatives to the Rio software. I am looking for possibly a PDA friendly web interface and/or Shoutcast support.

In addition:
- Are there any modified version of the original software?
- Are the "java versions" easy to install?
- Does Windows XP already have a java version that works with them?
- Are there any non-java versions that run on Windows XP?
- Are there any reviews of all the "alternatives"?

Regards,
Ultrajones

Are these questions really that tough?

No. There are only complete replacements of the original software.

Some people who have installed them needed help with the configuration. Posting questions and problems to this BBS is the best place to get help. Help is usually quite forthcoming.

Windows XP does not ship with a java runtime engine, so you must install the runtime engine available from Sun. I believe it can be found at www.java.com . After that any java software should theoretically work on XP.

I don't recall. The ones that people talk about most often are all written in Java as far as I know. There is also one being written in Windows Dot Net by Roger, but I don't know how far along it is.

No, but perhaps someone can chime in here and give opinions?
