Didiom is a new service that may interest music fans who want to stream songs and iTunes playlists stored on a PC on to their cell phone over the Internet, for free.
Didiom works like this: you download a desktop application (no Mac support yet) and select folders containing audio files that you want to listen on your mobile phone.
Next install the Didiom app on your phone and once authenticated, you can browse music libraries on your computer and listen them on your phone wirelessly anywhere as long as the phone and the desktop are connected to the Internet.
Didiom is available for most smartphones including BlackBerry and Windows Mobile devices. It can also stream music arranged in your your iTunes music library.

Hi Amit, i haven’t checked this service, but simplify media which is an app on iphone work better than this one. It has all PC/MAC/Linux(ubuntu) support and you can actually invite your friends and share their play list too…

Hi Amit,
This is great (in theory). But it looks like Nokia phones are not supported! I couldn’t find Nokia in the “Choose your phone” dropdown.
:-(

Simplify media is nice but what’s also cool about Didiom is that they also put a HUGE music store into the app (1.5 million MP3s) and they have a smart algorithm that lets you bid for music downloads on your phone. Kinda like Priceline for music…

Amit,
You probably should mention Orb too. Orb.com streams all types of media stored on your PC to you portable device such as a smartphone.

Hi . By accident my sound driver in board stops working. Is it possible to use my mobile n73 as an external audio device.

To Dhani,
I am afraid that is not possible. You cannot route, sound playing on your sound card over the Internet. My best guess is, to try to fix the sound driver. A broken driver is not as bad as a broken sound card.
