I've been playing with Resco Radio all day. It's a pretty nifty product.
Since I wasn't crazy about their pre-selected stations, though they have many, I went to SHOUTCAST.
There's gazillions of stations there. I just clicked the TUNE IN button. When prompted to open or save, I saved. You'll save a file called shoutcast.pls or something like that. Rename it to the name of the station. So if it's an 80's hit station, rename the saved file from shoutcast.pls to 80s.pls (or whatever you want.) Copy that file to your PPC and use Resco Radio's import feature.
Kabam! 1000's of stations to listen to. Fun.
It works great when using the cradle's pass-thru to my PC. It's also been pretty hot with EVDO. Don't know how 1x would work.
was going to get this program because it was a resco product but it doesnt do anything differently than GS player (gs player is free). resco CAN record music which is a nifty feature.. but thats not worth 20 bux...
Yup, thanks for that. I'm playing with both. At the moment, the only difference is Resco's "prettier" interface. Until and unless Resco adds support for other formats, free might just be the way to go.

How did you get it to work. I downloaded the file and installed it and when I select one of the preset buttons like "smoothjazz" it says connection error! at the bottom of the screen. Am I missing something?
Usually you can just click on the Internet icon on the top status bar, then click on the #777 that appears. Either way, though, once online -- as you see -- all is fine.
sorry if this is a highjack not trying to. its a related question:
when the i730 is hooked up to the cradle and i am listening to shoucast from the phone is it using my vzw data connection or my cablemodem connection, confused as to what data plan is being used?

Resco Radio 1.3 just came out and it's pretty cool. It's got a great user interface for streaming .mp3 internet radio sites. It has a 31 day free trial, and normally costs $20, but if you buy from the Resco site before the end of the month there is a $5 discount. It comes with a bunch of radio stations "pre-set" but you can easily import just about any station found on nullsoft's (of winamp fame) shoutcast.com
It doesn't do WMA (windows media) files yet, but that is supposed to be a promised feature in the future.
And, no I don't have an affiliation with Resco -- just like the software.
