Re: Stand Alone ShoutCast App or Internet Radio App?

I've always used the free TCPMP as it supports just about any stream format (excluding real). It has settings for what file formats are associated with it. As for Shoutcast I use the classic version at http://classic.shoutcast.com as it seems to use less resources. Mobile browsers usually either open the file or offer the option of saving them. I keep the .pls files in a "stream" folder. I either download them on the phone directly or I get the .pls files on my pc and transfer them. Winamp is good for saving the AOL/CBS stream addresses.

I use the free Roku stream snooper to find the address of streams that want to use an embedded player. I either use Winamp to save them as .pls files or sometimes just manually use a text editor to create them.

On TCPMP I create a .pls file of several streams that I listen to. By using the next function, which TCPMP allows you to map to a hardware key, I can jump from one stream to the next by just pushing one button. Quite handy while driving.
