Gears in full winamped gears

Continuing with its trends, Google has integrated Gears into Gmail. A much expected step with Gmail being their crown service, gears had to come in soon. This thought of existence to ease our work did pass the mind while trying out Gears on GDocs and GReader.

Winamp 5.541:
Tried this new version of Winamp, and its a lot impressive. Its no more a cylinder holding our playlists, its grown massively to hold a lot under the sun. It includes, SHOUTcast, Radio FM, AOL radio, AOL music, impressive Winamp Remote, etc. etc. (complete list of features). One can upload their favourite playlists, songs online and listen to them through Winamp from anywhere in the world. It has got its own toolbar which can be installed in the browser. The personalized data is stored against a free login ID and a password. Worth a try (download from here).

FM Radio

I was never clear about these 90 something point something else (93.5, 92.7, etc.) odd sounding numbers on radio. Though I never made a serious effort to know more about them, honestly did not know if anyone would know about them. But today, as a continuation to my impressed impression of Mumbai FM, I hit the search button again with the key words Mumbai FM, this time in Yahoo! (imagine my days...!)

No. Not that I felt Yahoo! would give me better search, but I know of one person who hosts Mumbai FM (later learnt that it is given at a price). That person's directions (years ago) were to go to Yahoo! homepage and give a search with 'FM' and 'his name' as the key words. I did the same today, learnt about the cost, and its existence years ago. Thus ends the pursuit.

These 90 something point something else are radio stations. Great, this much I knew even before. But what I understood is these are radio stations similar to companies like McDonalds. How McDonalds has its outlets in many parts of the country, radio stations like 93.5 FM (with same frequency) captures different cities. Thus, Mumbai as well as Bangalore have 93.5 FM.

There are very attractive websites for each of these radio stations. These frequencies have got their own names:
91.1 FM - Radio City
93.5 FM - Red FM: Bhajate Raho
98.3 FM - Radio Mirchi: Its hot!
104.8 FM - Meow: Thodi Meethi, Thodi Catty (I was wrong in thinking of this as a show on 104.8 FM in my earlier post)
Finally there is one webpage, currently not rendering at all. So, no idea how good it is: Mumbai FM

Mumbai FM

This time when I was in Mumbai, on a regular day, I did not as well as could not remember of listening to FM - Radio Mirchi. But on the final return journey from Mumbai, my bro reminded me of it as a good TP (time-pass) and I switched it on. I could not but stop enjoying it to the fullest, all the way appreciating the life in it.

Many a times, on journey to Bangalore, I got disappointed with its FM...I had expected something like Mumbai's but it was completely out of shape with multiple Kanada interruptions or rather it sounded like Hindi interrupting the Kannada transmission.

Whereas in Mumbai FM, I was so flattered by the innovativeness and creativity that was going on in the conversational part of FM that I was confused to the extent of not knowing which channel to listen to. All were equally enthralling. Some shows names were like KBC - Kachraye Bollywood Contest, Meow - Thodi Meethi, Thodi Catty. Listening to them in the glistening lights of the night traffic of Mumbai, on a 6-laner with bright malls passing by...was a sight to feel and enjoy.

I got this link to listen to Mumbai FM

All the channels are not operational, only few.
If anyone can let know of any other website(s) with multiple operational streams, do let us know...
