Mundu Radio is a novel option for the music lovers. Let's check how novel and appealing is it?

Good concept, Supports EDGE and WiFi, Lots of music choice, Personalized stations, Free service

Low bandwidth, Only smartphone support

For testing the Radio Service we were offered the following:

Nokia N70

Airtel GPRS

Mundu Radio Demo Account

Supported Phone List

Symbian 7.x Devices: Nokia 3230 and 7610
Symbian 8.x Devices: Nokia 6680, 6681, 6682, 6630, N70 and N90
Windows Mobile Pocket PC: Windows Mobile 5.0 / Windows Mobile 2003SE for Pocket PCs
Windows Mobile Smartphone: Windows Mobile 5.0 for Smartphones
Palm OS: Devices with Palm OS 5.2 and above

These are the phones that have been listed on the site. On further questioning it was mentioned that all Symbian phones with OS 6.x and above versions are supported. The site needs to be updated; so taking their word for it, all your N-Series/E-Series and other phones with Symbian OS v9.x will also be supported by Mundu. Further they mentioned that they are developing a Java app for the non-Smartphones as well. Soon there will be a never ending list of phones supported, but only time will tell if they will do justice to the non-Smartphones.

Experience

The Mundu Radio Service will not appeal to all. But there is nothing bad about Internet Radio with the vast number of Radio Stations the internet has to offer. The service is free except for the internet charges or the data transfer charges that your service provider charges.


If you opt for the GPRS service of Airtel that we received; they have a 1GB pack for Rs.600. So for the internet radio station you stream into, this is a very average breakup (unlike the conventional breakup) of the connection to the number of radio hours you can obtain.

32kbps-73 hours
64kbps-36 hours
128kbps-18 hours

Now there is no way that one would pay Rs.600 all for internet radio neither will one actually listen to that many hours of Internet Radio. Leaving the number crunching to a few who like to have crunchies for breakfast, we'll move on.

The N70 that we got came with the Mundu Radio software installed. I don't believe that installing the software will be a hassle, considering the fact that you do sync your phones.

Anyways it is a simple .SIS/.SISX file that you download off the net and then transfer to your phone and your phone will immediately recognize it. Once it recognizes it, it'll ask if you wish to install it. That done, your handset is all set for Mundu Radio. Next you put in your login details and save it so that it auto-logins into the same account just like in your IM. Your login details are the same as the online login you'd use. The phone will then connect to the net and you will have Mundu Radio working. That is just the basics.

Not sure if you guys have heard of the community radio concept. its real popular in US where universities and groups play songs of emerging artists for free... I recently came across one in India at : http://www.hyderabadbuzz.com/LiveRadio.asp

by December, Hyderabad, on Feb 13, 2007 05:20 PM, Report abuse   Reply

The concept seems to be inline with where most content providers are heading.However all you guys are right in raising the point that untill the underlying infrastucture upgrades and costs are driven down the sucess of mundu in india might be limited to a certain audience.India at the end of a day is a very cost sensitive market.

hi ,i m using this since 1 month n its amazing ,while airtel provides gprs for 700rs for 2 month unlimited download but this is other matter that u cant do more on such lazy speed.u can play only stations that brodcast no morethen 24kbps max.but untill its free its good.

Airtel Prepaid offers a service called Mobile Office for a much cheaper rate with unlimited data transfers either on the phone or using a pc... check it out!!

I'll wait till Wi-Max arrives, it will beat the ___ out of the GPRSs / mundus / etc...

by Anshuman Seth, Noida, on Jan 29, 2007 11:52 AM, Report abuse   Reply

When Wi-Max arrives, mundu radio will really rock! Imagine listening to a radio station streaming at 128kbps. The audio quality would beat the ___ out of most portable MP3 players like the iPOD.

by Ketan, Ahmedabad, on Jan 31, 2007 11:29 PM, Report abuse

it sucks! if you have a smartfone why would you use mundu and pay for it(gprs chg). i would rather listen to my MP3 on my fone.

by Harshit, Mumbai, on Jan 28, 2007 10:08 PM, Report abuse   Reply

Hi. reason you have a smartphone is coz it allows you easy access to the internet and most probably, you use GPRS already for other apps like content download, web browsing, IM or Email. So you not paying only for mundu. Plus to match the variety of music you get with mundu, it would take a lot of MP3 files to transfer to your phone

by Ketan, Ahmedabad, on Jan 31, 2007 11:20 PM, Report abuse

Heck, y wud anyone want to spend money on GPRS just for listening to radio?? Phones these days have lot of memory and you can store ur favourite music and listen to it. This concept will take few more years to catch up, unless ofcourse WiFi-MAX or GPRS becomes cheap!!

by Shawn, Mumbai, on Jan 30, 2007 10:12 AM, Report abuse   Reply

While I may agree with you on GPRS solely for Radio being some time away, most smartphone users sign up for a data plan that lets them access their mail, instant messaging and the web. Net radio will complement these services immediately. Another advantage is the fact that I carry one device less at this time (read MP3 player) with Mundu Radio on my Palm phone and this lets me tune into music of my choice and it expands my music horizons.

GPRS is too expensive these days, I think rarely any offers unlimited package at decent price. So I would rather prefer to listen on my desktop or laptop
