Stream from my computer to a Symbian phone?

Post by Arthur_Tuxedo »

So I have a Symbian phone with about 8 gigs of storage that I use as a music player. Due to space limitations, I have to skip about 6 or 7 songs in my collection for each one I include. I tried searching for a program that would let me log into my computer's music collection via Internet and stream or transfer it, but to no success. Is there such a thing?

Do you have a web browser on your Symbian phone that can play audio, or transfer downloaded audio files to the onboard music player?

I doubt you'll find a specific app that does this, however, if your web browser can do either of the above, you're in business.

Then, what you could do is, on your home network if you have a static IP, or on a server elsewhere with one, if your home network lacks a static IP, set up a web server and do SSL encryption. You'd log into your server with the username and password, and download the music.

Cool, thanks. I'll look into it.
