Have you ever thought that all the radio stations in India sound the same? You switch from a RadioMirchi to a RedFM, and you could swear that it was the same RJ yapping away on both the stations.

And if you have a renaian for non-bollywood or non-indipop music, there is simply no solace for you. When was the last time you heard "classic rock" being played on one of the stations without it slipping into Nirvana and Pearl Jam?

A viable alternative to this are the several Internet radio stations on offer. You will invariably get the music of your choice, a good playlist to listen to and, sometimes, even an RJ who knows what he is talking about.

To access Internet radio, you need a decent player. Geodesic, who come out with the wonderful Mundu IM, has also launched an Internet radio player, called Mundu Radio.

After registering on the site, download the application and install it on your phone. Fire it up, log in and you are good to go.

The interface is very good and simple and has the right amount of eye candy. You can choose from a variety of stations on offer, broken down by their genre: Acoustic, ...
... Rock, Pop, Indian, classical - it's all here. The service lets you add a preferred Internet radio of choice, although this will have to be done on your online account and then synced with the phone.

A GPRS connection is not enough for comfortable listening of music - if you listen on GPRS connection there will be a lot of buffering in between listening to music.
EDGE connection is still ok. The stations with lower frequency will play without a hitch, but step to a higher rate and you'll start having problem.
A WiFi connection is recommended. And if you're among the few with 3G-enabled phones, that's even better.

For the lower GPRS-EDGE kind of speeds, it is advisable to stick to stations that air songs at lower bitrates, preferably 32kbps or below. But if you are going to be doing the majority of your listening over 3G or WiFi, then feel free to go with the 128kbps or higher songs.

Nokia N97 was supposed to have Nokia's own Internet Radio but it still isn't out yet. It is surprising that Podcasting application for Nokia N97 is available but Internet Radio is not. So for now Mundu Radio is the best way to enjoy online music on your Nokia N97.
