How to stream Shoutcast streams?

[digiblur]

Anyone have any luck streaming shoutcast streams? I don't mind typing in the IP address and port number that the stream is pointing at. Since this is what I have to do at work anyways.

I tried a few ways on the phone but they won't stream.

Description:
GS Player is simply an audio player for Pocket PC. It can play MP3, Ogg Vorbis and WAV files. It has plugins to allow WMA, AAC, and MP4 playback too.

Combine this with a very good playlist manager and the possibility to have your own skins (some can already be found on the author's website).

What's more, you can play audio streams from the network and there is an equaliser with extra bass and surround sound. You can also listen to web radio stations. You can also use Shoutcast playlists.

**EDIT**
Here is another free solution with Shoutcast listings to play.(Kinoma Free Play) See pic.

The way I've always streamed shoutcast is go to their website on your phone (www.shoutcast.com), and start streaming your favorite station. It will ask you to download a .pls (playlist file). Do this, and you'll start streaming in your default media player.

Now for the trick...

Go grab that .pls file you downloaded, and rename it to whatever station it was. Save that file in your music location (or wherever), and now you can start streaming shoutcast just as easily as playing an mp3 file!

You can do this with multiple stations too. And you can copy those same files onto your pc, and it'll work the same.

I was just about to post something similar about this. GSPlayer plays the PLS files with no issue. I've already been downloading them and renaming them. Pretty cool stuff. I had a Roku playing Pandora at home that I would pipe into my Slingplayer. Then I would attach via the Slingplayer app on the phone piped into my car stereo. Around the world to get there but it worked great. This will be much easier! Thanks again!

Yea, I use Coreplayer to play them, and use VLC to play them on the PC. Since I have a few stations I listen to, with VLC, I need to queue up each station, then go into the playlist (CTRL + L), and remove the extras. (It makes more sense when you're playing them on the PC. This way, I can switch between different shoutcast playlist files as if the were tracks.

This is exactly what I do. I used to use gsplayer but I now use core player because it has bigger buttons for play, fwd, etc. You can also use Mort player but that ones too buggy for me.

GS player also has a built in timer and display "off" setting so you do not have to use another program if you like to go to sleep to your music and not waste battery .

I do the same with TCPMP, which also supports AAC+. I keyboard remap the buttons so I can move between tracks or stations. I use the back button single click for next track, double click for previous track, triple click for file open and hold for enter. I make playlists with various station streams, and then make shortcuts to them in the start menu. That way I can start a playlist with voice command. Very handy for streaming in the car as I don't need to look at the screen to start or change stations.

I create the playlists in TCPMP and in Winamp on a PC using .pls files. I've got most of the AOL streams which are .flv.

Is there a plug-in for AAC+ v1&2 for core player?

Thank you so much! I've been searching for an app to stream internet radio to no avail and now finally I can play shoutcast stations on my phone.
