Streaming Radio App? (i.e. Shoutcast)

Can someone recommend a streaming radio application for files such as Shoutcast? I cannot seem to find any, and I have also searched.
Thanks.

Resco Radio 1.90. If you do purchase it, I have modified the default skin to make it readable on VGA and to put 15 shortcut buttons on the screen instead of 10. Let me know if you need it.

If you have the stream-adress like
http://stream-hautdebit.frequence3.net:8000 or
http://house.mthN.net:8500
you can use MortPlayer.

Pocket Player will do it and you don't even have to upload the links yourself. They have done the work for you. It works very nicely and Resco radio is also good. Just depends on what you want and for what. I have both and use both.

Could you post a picture of your skin and does it work in landscape also?
I am using the default VGA skin and it is fine, but nothing really fancy about it.

Here is an image of the modification I made to the default skin, and a zip file with the skin change. I did not modify the landscape mode, only the portrait mode. Basically, all I changed was the size of the fonts so they would be easier to read on the VGA screen, and I made 15 buttons instead of 10. Unzip the .zip file and put the default.rs file in \Program Files\Resco Pocket Radio\Skins\default_vga\
I would suggest copying the one that is there already to a temp folder first, so if you do not like mine, you can always go back.
The one problem with 15 buttons is that you get less space for names. What I did was modify the file \Program Files\Resco Pocket Radio\radios\user_presets_fast.rrd with a text editor (notepad in windows xp). There is a line in there for each button (0 through 14). A sample line is:
CAT "Cat3"
RAD "Radio (io) Classical Favorites" "io Classical Fav" "Radio (io) Classical Favorites"
STR "http://cast.voxcdn.net:8000/2917-MP3-RadioIO-Classical-Favs-128" "128" "MP3" a
END
END
The middle name of the three names in quotes is the display name on the button, so I edited it to be a shorter name. This is "Cat3" which means it is button 4 - or the first button on row 2.

I use the free version of kinoma which has no expiry, it works perfectly with all shoutcast and is searchable so all you have to put into it's search is either the name of the station you want or the genre of music.
It is excellent and pretty much trumps everything mentioned here when you factor in the price

How about Pandora? There's a cab floating around for that! It's not pretty (in VGA) but works...

Use MortPlayer, simply put yourself an m3u together, like:
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,ETN.fm Ch1 256k
http://192.87.65.61:8100
#EXTINF:-1,ETN.fm Ch2 256k
http://192.87.65.61:8200
#EXTINF:-1,.977 The 80s Channel
http://scfire-dtc-aa05.stream.aol.com:80/stream/1040
#EXTINF:-1,.977 The Hitz Channel
http://scfire-mtc-aa02.stream.aol.com:80/stream/1074
and save it on your device or storage card.
Afterwards, add the m3u to your favorites, this way you can slide through your collection and all stations will become another playlist/album.

That's cool, thanks! Can mort, or any other player besides wmp, play mms streams? I'd love to stream mms://wmc1.liquidviewer.net/wpya on something other than wmp, but can't figure out how to do it. I've tried mort and pocketplayer.

Try adding the mms as a regular stream, you can do so under favorites. Or try adding it in the m3u. Besides: If you open a station in Winamp you get many servers sorted by their webload. So if you copy only one, like i did, you may lose it someday. This never happened to me, just as a hint.
I'm particulary looking for a way to download the pls with the servers generated by the station as you listen into it and add it as a new favorite. Maybe it is possible to link mortplayer directly to the pls. I will try this on my way to work.
Edit: If you run into trouble, because your 3G-Provider is BLOCKING the stream after a couple of minutes try to open a vpn-connection to your home or office-server and route your webradio-traffic through it.

Well, that didn't work, i'll ask in the mortplayer forums ... You can add the generated m3u as a link (fe http://etn.fm/playlists/etn2beta.m3u) and the "loading favorites structure" screen loads a bit longer, but no success, it doesn't show up.
Edit: Works now! Trying to set up a php script now that simply includes the server m3u's...

HTC Nexus one feature questions

Hi! All. I'm interested in the HTC Nexus one but need clarification on some of its features. Been finding on the internet but still can't get any info about the following issues.
1) Can it set different profiles such as General, meeting, silent, etc, like nokia?
2) Ringtones -
Incoming & Message:
i) does it have a limitation on the duration of the playback like only 10 or
30 seconds limit like the iphone & sony ericsson phones or it can
playback the whole mp3 file like nokia without cutting the song halfway
due to playback limitations.
ii)Can we use our own mp3 files to use as ringtone?
3) It runs on Android 2.1. i've read that it supports Live Animated &
interactive Wallpaper. Does it support also GIF, flash or mp4 animated
wallpaper? i don't need the interactive part just want to download
animated files & use it as wallpaper.
4) Any lag issues when switching or selecting applications?
Appreciate everyone's help in answering the above questions. Thx in advance.

Can set to silent. Not sure about everything else. Come to think of it, I've never checked, though I came from a Nokia too.

Put your own songs/tones in mp3 or ogg format, the whole song/tone will play (out of box)... Use market apps for features like fade in, etc.

Live wallpapers are interactive and use the Andorid 2.1 framework to judge interactions... it is bound to the framework... if you want custom live wallpapers, you can develop your own or ask someone to...

[Q] Nexus one - How to change the look of icons?

Hi there - Yes I am a noob when it comes to this stuff.
I own a google nexus one and would like to change the icons of some things.
For example have the image of a Playstation controller which opens up a folder full of my games. I have found some Icons I like the look of, now what i want to know is what file format do i download them on so that i can put them on my SD card? (I think that is how its done)
Also, what app would I need? I have Desktop visualizer - will that work?
Thanks heaps

[Q] How to Make "launch by default" Permanent

Hi all,
I know how to make an app default for launching certain types of files, but my problem goes deeper:
From the day one I switched to Android from WinMo, I have to define the default player for movies over and over again:
I have tried all the mayor players from the market, but the problem is still there:
I use a Ghost commander for launching the movie (.avi, for example).
The first time I have to choose the player (MX player for example).
The next time I start the movie with the SAME extension (.avi), it is OK - the MX starts it by default.
But if I try to open the movie with some other extension (.flv - for example, is a pain in the a$$, because android offers me all the programs installed to choose from, and I have to scroll way down to MX...) - I have to define the player again.
Now, when I want to open the .avi file again - I have to choose the default app again...
The default app is deleted when I connect the phone to PC to read/write files form PC. - As soon as I disconnect the SGS from PC, and try to launch any movie - I have to set the default app again...
This drives me crazy,
I have tried a few different roms (Darky, Ficeto,... and now SURFACE),
On stock rom, Froyo, Ginger (now on 2.3.4),
And it was always the same.
Am I the only one? I haven't found anyone else complain about this?
Thanks in advance for the reply,
Cheers

I've never had that problem myself. After I've set the permissions it usually sticks... Sorry I couldn't help.

Yes, it should, as for the launcher for example, or the dialer - when I install the new launcher, it asks me once which one to use, and offer me to set as default.
Once I set the default launcher, I never have to do it again untill I install the another one. Then, I am asked again to choose one/ set default and it sticks.
The same for phone app and all the others, but it never work for movie with different extension. Every time I choose the different format, I have to set the default for all of them again...
Anybody?
Any idea?

It's because technically its asking for a default action for a yet undefined file type,

For example, if you have two movie players, you can play an avi and set it to default to something, I it when you stream something it interprets that as a different action which needs to be defaulted also, hope this makes since in a way

But I am not:
- I start the AVI file for the first time - it asks for a default player. I define it.
The next time I start AVI file - it starts automatically with the chosen player.
- I start - for the first time a different movie file type - for example: FLV (this is - for me - most annoying type, as my phone don't recognize it as a movie type, and offers me all kind of programs to open it with: contacts, drm content launcher, edit access point, ezPDF reader, FDN list, calendar import, market, messaging, music, package installer, phone, settings...)
I have to define a player. I define it. The next time I play the FLV file (but not changing the file type!) it plays ok.
- I want to start again the AVI file - it ask for the default player again.
This shouldn't happen. It should remember the defined player.
These movie extension types are just an example - it is the same with all the movie files I choose to open, when I am switching to another extension...
Anybody an idea?
Thanks in advance,
cheers

[Q] Looking for 2 Apps

Hi, I'm looking for an app to set any .swf file as a wallpaper on my xperia x8 if it's possible ?? as even w910 and many other old phones could set .swf flashlite files as wallpapers and screensaver ....
and
Is there any voicemail app for android phones ? which will auto record the message of incoming call (voice) so later you can hear it ?
Thanks

Swf files are moving images, right? So it's like a live wallpaper, but from what I've learned, Android isn't programmed to apply a swf as a wallpaper. So you must make a live wallpaper to resemble that swf file.
Android is just programmed in a different way.
Sent from my X8 using XDA

and how to convert swf files into live wallpapers ?

Two applications
Games
vedio calling

I don't care about flash games, I have made some custom flash animations of 320x480 of my names and etc.

You can't just convert. You need to build it from scratch in Java.
