[REQ] Internet Radio Streamer

Hi anyone know of a good open source, free internet radio streamer? the microsoft one is so poor its unreal. I would like to have something a little better.
regards

Hi Aley,
I'm using MORT Player since Years. You only have to find out the steaming URL and edit the Mort Player Internet-Radio List. It's so easy and there are a lot more functions!
I never used WinAmp.

Try KinomaFreeplay. Works very well.

I use the free GSPlayer, it handles all my MP3 and OGG streams.

Thanks guys for the great posts, is there a way to import these links/ favs to the players or must i manually go to the folder where i saved them to and copy them from the device to pc and visa versa

Here are some good websites for music:
1. http://www.thestreamcenter.com/pda/
This site is the best of the three and offers more streams than the other two combined so be sure to check this one out first. This site plays the streams in windows media player.
2. http://www.mobtuner.com/
3. http://www.htcradio.com/
These sites work well with GS Player and yes you can save the music streams locations right to your phone to load up quickly with GS Player.

the pandora client works nicely for me. I can post the cab here if you guys cant find it

I vote for GSPlayer. It faster, has less hangups and is easier to use to browse to my radio links folder.

all the above programs are good for streaming radio..... but i've just tried pocketlastfm which works like pandora but you can use it outside of the US. you put in a genre or artist and it continually plays tracks from similar artists/genres...... it's really good!

I´m trying to find the cab for Pandora.
I´ve found one but it seems that it´s not working fine on the Diamond. Some errors on the start screen visual basic lines... I hit ignore and it appears it connected just fine. I managed to get the keyboard out to log me into pandora, and I could see my radio stations, but when tryied to hear to one of them, it hang out on "connecting"...
Can you post your cab here? or can you pm me with the cab?
Thanks.

kick in the $30 and get Kinoma. Totally worth it!

Hi,
Wunder radio. Loads of stations from around the world. Small fee, around £10, perhaps just under.

Coding to Play streaming PLS (ShoutCast)

Hey folks, I'm trying to write an app to play a PLS stream from a ShoutCast server, any advice? I'm able to stream standard MP3s using the MediaPlayer class, but it doesn't seem to work with PLS files.

Hi,
a PLS file is a playlist file not an actual media(sound/video) file, you can open it with your favorite text editor. To be able to listen to a stream you need to be able to decode the media type(AAC,MP3,WMA,...) thats what codecs are for

Yeah, I know, I tried using the adress in the .pls but it wasn't playing/nor throwing an error. I was pretty sure it was a valid codec being used (it works fine with a static mp3 path), so I guess I'll have to check with the settings on the ShoutCast server.
Thanks for the reply.

I'm interested in that idea of being able to listen to streams on the go. I did a quick google search and found out that there already is a stream player for android out there, called AntPlayer.
I think it's available on the market, and if the source is open maybe you can take a look.
I'm going to look it up on the market and see if it plays di.fm streams

Droidlive?

Yeah, I found a few that can do it, but haven't found any open source options yet. I'll look into AntPlayer. I'm trying to create an app for our university's radio station.

Any updates? I'm looking to do the same.

Same problem here!

Media player with specific features needed

Does anyone know of a media player that can handle multiple audio streams?
What about 1 that can show embedded MP3 lyrics?
I have many videos that have 2 audio streams, 1 English and 1 Spanish. I would like to be able to switch between them like I do on my iPhone. I'm really looking forward to dumping the iPhone, but currently have to carry it around with me along with the Desire in order to use it as a video player.
I also listen to Podcasts in foreign languages that have the transcripts embedded in the MP3s using the standard lyrics tags. The iPhone shows these "lyrics" as the track is played, but the Desire can't do this. Given that the audio is in a foreign language it's handy to be able to see a transcript in case you don't quite catch a word.
I've also noticed that most players, including the standard one, don't pick up "none standard" genres. All my stuff that is in Spanish has the genre set as "Spanish" which isn't a "standard" MP3 genre. As such the Desire shows them up as "unknown genre". They are tagged as such as my media center at home supports free text as a genre so it makes them easy to filter them out of the music listing when the wife's using it (she doesn't speak Spanish). The iPhone also supports this free text genre and doesn't have a problem.
Thanks
Dae.

try wikitunes. it at least has lyrics.

I can't find an app called wikitunes.
Do you mean tunewiki? If so, I have that installed but it doesn't pickup the "lyrics" that are embedded in the MP3 but instead tries to download them off the Internet. Since I am listening to a paid subscription podcast the "lyrics" aren't available online since they are embedded in the MP3s. Tunewiki, however, won't show them for some reason.

How to stream internet audio on the HD2?

It seems like the basic music player doesn't support streams, there doesn't appear to be any support in windows media player for streams either...
In the end I searched for some tools and GSplayer came up as supporting streams, so i tried that and copied the CAB install file to the storage card, it showed up in the start menu...I can run it and open a URL or local .pls file and it starts to stream...you see the percentage buffer quickly shoot up to 100% but then nothing happens...no audio, nothing.
I'm basically trying to play audio from an internet radio station I use a lot at home (xfm.nl) if you click "Luister Live" on the left you'll see shortcuts for all the streams.
Can anyone help? My settings are OK I think, I can get to the internet and recieve my email and use all the web based apps, so I don't think its a connection thing...maybe GSPlayer just doesn't support the HD2?

Try Skyfire browser.

I have WunderRadio but since you know the stream you want to play coreplayer will open it.

I just tried this using Skyfire and GSPlayer.
I clicked on the Winamp mobile link, and it downloaded the .pls stream to my storage card. GSPlayer opened automatically. I've set GSPlayer to own .pls files, so maybe that would help.
Just tried clicking on the downloaded .pls file and it also opens up GSPlayer. Hope that helps! At least you know that it can work

I want to know something fairly similar, is it possible to make a player stream a song or file instead of having to download it first. Sometimes with very large files I just want to play it and let it download as it plays instead of waiting for the entire file to download before being able to play it.

Try Groovemobile or nanogroove.

I just upgraded from a Touch Pro 2.
I have a few shoutcast .pls files I used to open and stream in coreplayer 1.3.6 build 7427 with no problems.
I have changed from o2 to orange but all other streaming seems ok (e.g nanogroove/groovemobile/youtube/myplayer etc).
On the HD2 when I try to open the .pls files I get an unknown file format (0106) error or sometimes coreplayer just crashes.
Anyone know how to get coreplayer working with there files again?

I enjoy accessing last.fm using the skyfire browser.

Try SPB Radio, pretty good!

I just wanted to thank everyone posting suggestions, I will be trying some of them out soon

There is also coreplayer which handles .pls and .m3u file attachments.

[Q] How do you listen streaming music

I'm trying to find an app to listen streaming music.
have a couple of app's but none of them work.
for example
URL:http://u12b.di.fm:80/di_vocaltrance (which should be working with WinAmp)
but it's not working
or this one
http://u12b.di.fm:80/di_vocaltrance
should be working with win media player.
SO what APP do you use to listen streaming music/radio??
Thanx.

Audiogalaxy is def my favorite if my computer is on at home. Instant access to over 400gb of music to stream over 3g or wifi flawlessly.
and google music if it is not - I have 15000 songs uploaded so far.
Tune in radio app for radio and streaming sites like gdradio.net
Also the Livephish app - so good. If I have to explain you wouldn't understand ;O)
Vibe vault to stream 1000's of live shows from the Live Music Archive at archive.org
Those are my main go to streaming apps.

Jazz Radio for me

Thanx Man !!!

we use Pandora and i heart radio apps.not to mention our extensive music collection we have bought over many years .Its all on google music. google music will sync everything you have on your desktop or laptop to the google cloud and you Can stream to your phone or tablet .. This is your own music and play list without taking up space on the phone. But you can select some of it or all of it to sync to your phone for off line.. Or tablet.
I just get a new huawei phone with a built in digital FM Tuner I seem to be using that alot.
There are alot of music stream apps we have tried and always go back to Pandora .Its great because its on the computers our tvs and the Car radio and Cell phone/my Tablet of course.

Thank you all.
Finally i've found app that will play my stations:
XiiaLive Lite - Online Radio
Works pretty good.
