[APP] Shoutcast Streaming App

Hi guys,
As I don't have an xm account anymore (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2954732) I have created a new streaming app (beta for testing), this time the source is shoutcast, tons of free radios.
The app is written in c++ so it runs pretty fast and compatible with wm 5.0 and up, it works in touch screen phones.
Setup:
Download the cab and install on the device.
Usage:
-------------
1. The Categories screen is shown, choose one category from the list and wait until the list is populated (this process just run once).
2. Choose the radio to play; the radio will start to play and then it will try to display the album art in a thumbnail at the bottom of the screen.
Optional
------------
Tap on the album art thumbnail to get a bigger view of it and also have access to the Add to favourites options an to exit to the app.
Add to favourites:
In the larger album art screen tap in the add icon (plus symbol), the station will be add to the favourites list.
Shortcuts:
-----------
Tap on the top label to back to the categories screen at any time
Tap on the status (the bottom label) to exit the application
cheers,
Hlov

Hey,
thanks for the feedback, As I have mentioned in my post this is in beta so u can tweak it edit the categories.txt file (make a backup of it first and don't change the first line [favourites]) and add a new line with your preferences, the format is keyword|Display ie: Trance|The best trance
Hope this make sense if not reply me and I'll help u,
cheers,
Hlov

Awesome, might cook it into my roms, with credits to you ofc

Works GREAT on my Palm Treo Pro (850).

I think this app is great! Been looking for one for a long time... One question though... anyway you can make it compatible with the crapload of AAC+ stations out there ? I have the accplus plugin dlls from TCPMP if that would help

This app is great! It is so fast! It needs more channels though

very good app
the best radio app i have ever tried, soo good and fast, wish i could add my own stations..keep the good work up..

I second that! Hlov, i would also donate my skin making abilities if you wanted, because i've been waiting for a dedicated SHOUTcast app like this one for ages!
In the meantime i've written MortScripts that query and allow me to auto connect to one of my 4 personal streams with CorePlayer.
Great job! I'll be following this thread like a hawk!

Where does it search with the keywords?
I added the keyword "stern" for howard stern. and on shoutcast.com, i get different results (the ones i want) than through the player.
edit: Nevermind, just found out how to add my favorite station with using the station id in the radios.txt file.
Great app!!

It doesn't show me any back button or other button and whenever i click ready (in the bottom) or nice one (while the song is playing), the application exits.
but i like the application. i have touch pro2.
Thanx for the application

options
great start, how do i add custom shoutcast servers?

Hi, I am really excited about a shoutcast player for winmo, since I use Spider player radio every day on my computer. Anyway, so I tried to add to the categories.txt and adding known shoutcast genre's worked well. I added "House" and "ambient" and both produced a lot of channels. However when I added something like "piano" it only produced 3 channels. I added a category "skyfm" and it didnt come up with anything.
Can the categories added only be the default shoutcast genres?
Is there anyway to add a search in the program?
Also, For pretty much all the things the search results in the program are different then when doing that search on the shoutcast website
Just a few things I have ran into while using your program. Thanks for all the hard work.
One last thing I remembered after the program does the initial search it caches the results and always pulls those back up. Is there anyway to refresh the results without having to delete the file in the program directory named after the search

works great but it doesnt seem to open all of the folders - like it wont open the "alternative" folder for me...but apart from that great first edition! hopefully you'll refine it some more!
it also seems to automatically shut off when the phone turns off after about 1 minute (yes its the settings) but it ought to play like the music player which runs even when the phone is off.
i have an hd2 btw...

man this is awesome! I didn't think twice before installing and it's better than I imagined! yeee thanks!!

This app is great!!! was looking around for something just like this,

great app are there any hiphop station???

Fast & Just works!
This app is great so far! it is quick, simple, and just works! Keep up the great work.

I added rap|Rap to the categories.txt and it listed quite a few stations.

[Q] The best true (non-cloud) audio streaming apps?

Hello all,
In light of the recent congressional events regarding ("shhhh") downloaded music, I am now in the wanting to play it safe mode. At my age I have more too loose.
What I'm looking for is the best home to phone streaming app that does not also utilize web based streaming like Audiogalaxy and Subsonic. I am now using both of these but would like to see if there are any alternatives which...shall we say...'are more private'. Simply an app that does not require any website registration but only needs ones own IP to access music.
I would also welcome discussion on the legalities of steaming already downloaded music (home to phone).
Thanks for any thoughts on this topic.
Edit: Now trying Gmote. Can anyone recommend a better one?

Just use Grooveshark.

if you have a daap server at home, say itunes or WDLXTV firmware, there is a simple daap client in the market that works well

Thanks for the reply. After trying Gmote for a couple of days I've decided to ditch it. It tends to start/stop too much on a 3g network, and the UI is horrid. The daap server sounds interesting. If you could recommend one that will work on either XP or W7 I'll try that...assuming there is such an animal.

Is there any app to stream live radios station ?
I move from WM to Android, and I would like to know if there is any app to stream live radio station Wm normally use WMP, but android doesn't support Wmp
please if some one know something about it point me to the right direction.

there are ways to use VLC to do it.

Have you tried Homepipe?

Not yet, have looked that one over a bit. Gmote lags too much on 3g so I'll try Homepipe next. Oh yea, and my Bucs almost came back on your Ravens last Sunday. If only Freeman had started his "famous" quick offense earlier.
@dsuare021979 For music streaming try:
Pandora (unlimited access is 36/year but has the best quality sound IMO.
A Online Radio (the "A" is part of the app name)
iheartradio
Last.fm

Thank you for the help, but none of them work with the radio station I normally stream
MEGA 97.9 NY. I hope we get an app like wmp soon.

Checked into Homepipe a bit more closely and it's another type that requires a website registration, which is what I'm trying to avoid. Gmote is what I'm looking for, but it's too buggy for me. Guess I'll keep looking but use Audiogalaxy in the meantime. I like Subsonic but on the EVO it has a tendency to repeat the first song all the time. Anyway, thanks for the input.

Just a question to see if you know something that I don't... if you go through and Retag all of your mp3s there should be no real way to see where they came from... ripped from your own cds or otherwise.... at least that's my opinion. But maybe you know something that I don't?

My only experience with re-tagging is to get the files to look right in Audiogalaxy. I collect alot of "Greatest Hits" albums and most of the tracks each have their own album tag. I wish I knew the answer to your question for my own benefit. Anyone else?

I finally found and app that let me stream any radio stations around the world, ( RADIO TIME ) it work great

I recommend MusicShark a GrooveShark Client

I am not the dev but there is a free GrooveShark client out in the MarketPlace so I thought it should get more exposure.
It's very functional and just needs a tiny bit more polish. The sound quality is great even through 3G.
MOD EDIT: Please post app recommendations in WP7 General, as the Apps and Games section is for app release's only as stated in the sticky I made.

THanks man. Been waiting for a GrooveShark client.

Awesome. Seems to work great over 3G though it needs a better way of adding multiple search results to playlists/queue.

Nice. And free !
The interface just needs to be more polished indeed.

Interesting. Too bad Grooveshark isn't going to support WP7. They are open to the idea so with enough support you never know. Keep bugging them via forums and twitter.

Where I can I download MusicShark.xap? I am aware that is not longer in the marketplace available

I think I might have it at home. Pity I restored my phone to NoDo not realising I couldn't unlock it again.

bah, I hope GS isnt deliberately flagging these clients if they dont plan to produce their own. Methinks they made a deal with a competitor :/

Here's the xap

I installed the xap file on my windows phone (E900 7.10.7720.68), but it didn't work. Loading failed with a message, "An error was presented, you have internet conectivity?"
So, I decompile the xap and found out, the server to get the grooveshark data from grooveshark's server is no longer working.
Can anyone use this app?

For people who really love music,
I would recommend the "The Hype" app for WP7.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145616
It gives access to all the Hype Machine catalog. Hypem.com is a great & free music blog aggregator.
You can make a search, select the songs you like, make a playlist (which will also be available on your PC).
for instance... Here's my playlist (indie, The Smiths, Mountain Goats, Josh Rouse, New Order, Wedding Presents, Balmhorea, etc...): http://hypem.com/#!/eric_sc2

Apps that run in background

Anyone know of any apps for mango that run in the background? Seems the only one I have is "tune in radio". Also where is skype?

Of the apps that I have installed, I have these:
AccuWeather.com
Evernote
Now (Samsung app)
Pulse
TuneIn Radio
WeatherLive
And I'm sure there are more.
And Skype will be coming. It was never promised to be part of the Mango release. The purchase of Skype by Microsoft hasn't even gotten through the government approval process yet.

Slacker now runs in the background as well. Love background tasks.

Has it already been updated? Mine won't keep playing in the background.

Slacker has only been updated for T-Mobile.

Wonder Reader runs in the background too
Sent from my OMNIA7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

WeatherLive and WPCentral app as well.

After my massive Mango update this morning, I have a few more to add to the list:
Foodspotting
NextGen Reader
Tasks
WhitePages

Wait, carriers are dictating which apps can update and when ? Wow

My understanding is that T-Mobile has a special deal with Slacker for their version of the app, although I don't know the specifics of that deal, or how it benefits users (other than the fact that T-Mobile users got the Mango update first ).

anyone know if any of the youtube apps can run in the background? i know a YT video playing in IE won't keep playing, or at least I couldn't get it to.

Not sure off hand, I know EasyTube is working on it though.

I think it's complete bull**** that slacker has been mango updated for t-mobile but not everyone else, I emailed them about it and they said that the official version will be updated in a few weeks which is also bull**** seeing that the mango marketplace has been opened for a whole month.

How do you get it to do this? every time i try to switch to something else it stops playing.
Additionally, anyone know of a timer that works? I hate that if I want to set a timer for something then I can't use my phone for anything else.

Hello,
easyTube for Mango has been submitted to the Marketplace, but it may take several days to be verified before you can download it. To know what's new in the Mango version you can take a look at the pre-released demonstration youtube.com/watch?v=8zyHE5xHK38
Thanks for your attention!
Regards,
Wsoftvn.

after mango release . more and more app run in background will drop out

[BETA][PUBLIC]Play songs from Zune collection by using your voice - TellDJ Rehearsal

Hi,
I wasn't sure where to post this, so apologies if this is in the wrong forum. I'm working on this
and would really appreciate feedback. The quick lowdown if you don't want to watch the video is that you can launch songs from your Zune collection using your voice by saying the song's name into your Windows Phone. As a 'thank you' for the support and enthusiasm I got for the app, I have released a free PC version which uses your PC microphone instead. However, it'd be great if I can get feedback on how the PC version works for you and what you think of it because the phone version demoed uses a very similar engine. So essentially, this is a beta for the main component of the phone app which will make it easier for me to tweak and improve the system for the WP version. I'd really appreciate any feedback I can get on this.
Update - Based on user feedback, version 1.1 has been released
You can download the PC version from www.telldj.com.
Thanks!
