If you want more info, thanks to Jonathan Mosen he's the one who found this and I ment to credit him in the original message. I have played with this and it does indeed work really well. But it's being discussed on the blindphones list.

Moodio is a portal for mobile phones allowing you to stream any Internet radio station. It is easy to sign up, and the site is 100% accessible, both on your PC and phone. Moodio has a large database of streaming radio stations from which you can choose. If a station you want isn't in the database, you can add it with an easy form. Once you've added the stations you want, you log in with your phone and your list of stations is available to you. The service transcodes the stream for you, and sends it to your phone. There are two reasons why this is very cool. First, my one ongoing annoyance with Symbian is its lack of streaming Windows Media support. But with Moodio, any Windows Media stream is available to you on your phone, as our Shoutcast streams and a wide range of other formats. Second, even if your phone supports some of these formats out of the box, Moodio might save you money. If you have a cap on the amount of data you can use each month, Moodio can send you the stream at a lower bit rate than the original stream. let's take the stream for The Legend as an example. It is a 128KBPS MP3 stream, which uses about 15 K per second. In a little over 1 minute, you'll have used a meg. The default bit rate from Moodio is 24KBPS parametric stereo. For the same stream transcoded by Moodio after a minute, you'll have used only 180K. So you are getting the same stream, using about a fifth of the data. Now because of the transcoding, and the lower bit rate, it's not going to sound as good as the original. But the bit rate of the stream you receive is configurable, so if quality rather than data consumption is your aim, crank up the bit rate. I'm thrilled to have found this, it really does rock.
