Streaming media?

[Astrak]

I'm streaming a police scanner feed on my computer using windows media encoder, I'm trying to make sure everything is up and working by using my diamond...well hell I'd like to use my diamond when I'm away from home to listen to it as well. Problem is neither streaming media nor Windows media player allows me to enter an Http://xxx.xxx.x.xxxx address is there any software that let's me do that?
