Yep, that works, but launches Windows Media Player (at least on mine). The OP (and I) would like to know why / how to use the Streaming Media app that comes with the phone. It wants an address of rtsp:// if you click connect in the app. I don't know if there is any advantage to using this rather than TCPMP or Windows Medai Player???

you should be able to use orb (www.orb.com) to stream radio (xm sirius radio) and pretty much anything u have on a computer.

but a question i have is if u have a subscription to xm or sirius and u log in onto their site will u be able to listen to their radio via their site like u would be able to on a computer or do u need something to convert that stream?

theres several local radio stations near me that provide live streams of the station online i would also like to know can u navigate to those sites and just listen to the stream or do u need something like orb to convert the stream?

*rtsp* is a real time streaming protocol.
The streaming media app is meant for the mobile version of Youtube (m.youtube.com, which uses h.264 and rtsp, rather than straight Flash), and that's that. if you need an app that streams mp3/asf/mms/aac/pls/wma and other audio streaming protocols then you have to look elsewhere to CorePlayer, Pocket Tunes (pTunes), GSPlayer (free), Win Media Player and so forth.
Of all i've mentioned, CorePlayer is my recommended favourite.
