Every mobile device and every operating system has its own default media players. Some plays media player formats, some plays quicktime and some plays .3gp formats. But it is a challenge when you want to use one audio format to play into different operating system or mobile device.

I am a PC lover and love the fact that there are plenty of free softwares out there that plays all types of media. So I had Motorola Q (the first generation with WM 5) and I was listening to one of the radio station City 101.6 from Dubai. Its a Hindi radio station but it is just amazing. City 101.6 has a live streaming available that is .asx format. Windows Mobile phones can play .asx format in their windows mobile media player. So it was all good until I switched from Windows Mobile phone to Palm Pre. Now Palm Pre is a new phone with new operating system so finding an application to play .asx was out of the question. After doing some research I found out that there is a software called Orb that can actually convert any audio format into any audio format and you can access it from anywhere as long as you have internet connection.
