Maybe somebody knows some good app for Android which can stream wma files as well as mms:// web content ?
I know only one app yxplayer, but I really don't like the interface and it can't stream in background. When you minimize app it automatically closes. I have not tried paid version so.
Help appreciated,
Whitealien
Overview of available mms streaming apps (currently known to me):
1. RadioTime [Paid] [Rating 4.09]
[ + ] pretty awesome app with more than 3000 predefined world wide radio stations. Really nice interface, finds radio logos, possibility to save presets and chose varios streaming bitrates if available. Direct search option or find by radio stations by genre, language or country. Reads podcasts.
[ - ] not possible to add custom urls. Paid. Try TuneIn before purchasing this.
2. TuneIn Radio [Free] [Rating 4.62]
[ + ] same as RadioTime, but free. Really nice app.
[ - ] not possible to add custom urls. It works only with WiFi, wtf!!!!
3. yxplayer [Free/Paid] [Rating 3.42]
[ + ] currently the only app I know which allows to add custom radio urls
[ - ] other than that this is holy crap. Interface is horrible. It does not play in background. I understand that this app was developed to play or stream video files, but then video playback on HTC Hero was horrible. So I did not tried paid version, maybe its better.
For test purposes:
Radio name: Radio SWH
Address: mms://80.232.162.149/SWH_stereo
Protocol: mms
Audio format: wma
Bitrate:128Kbps 44100 Hz
Stereo: Yes

Are you trying to stream .wma from home or something? I'm not sure about mms: but Subsonic is pretty awesome. You can stream just about anything....mp3 wma flac...whatever. The Android app is free but you have to pay for the server side portion after 30 days. It's well worth it I can assure you....

+1 for subsonic. I use it so i have access to all my music. Just need to make a donation (of any amount) to the developer so the android app works past the 30 day trial.
Technically I want to stream Web radio which uses wma standard and mms:// protocol.
No, I'm not streaming audio from my home network.

Do you have a sample link we could play around with? I have a EVO and I'm a bit curious as to what it would do with the extension.
Have you looked at the app RadioTime ? It's very nice and has about any channel I can think of that is web broadcasting.

Unfortunately Radiotime is paid app. While its pretty awesome with over than 3000 predefined radio stations it does not allow to add custom urls . Also there is free add supported version of this app called Tune In which I recommend to try before buying Radiotime.
Radio I'm trying to stream is mms://80.232.162.149/SWH_stereo
I'll try to keep this thread updated with available radio streaming apps.
Thank you so much for all the info. Until now I was using YX player with the horrible interface. Recently the YX player stopped working for my mms URL so I had to find something else. I was looking for weeks until I saw this post.
Eventhough TuneIn Radio will not allow me to add urls I found the radio I was looking for among the thousands available. The interface is great and the sound quality was good as well.
I highly recommend this app and I would be willing to purchase the paid version if it gives more options than the free version.
my TuneIn Radio works over 3G
so
yeah
Maybe it has to do with the fact that I also have RadioTime
What about mms protocol videos/movies? Thanks!

Please make sure you read all my articles - I've listed all the SHOUTcast-capable clients in the chart of my dedicated article at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350181
Maybe not the most efficient way, but the way I went after this was to install Core Player then, on my PC, go to the Shoutcast website and right click the Tune In link and select 'Save As'. I then named the .pls file after the station. Once I saved a bunch of stations I was interested in, I copied the (very small) .pls files to my device (AT&T Fuze). I now just launch Core Player, Click Menu, Click Open File, and select the .pls file for the station I want to listen to.
It is a bit of hassle to gather up all the .pls files you want, but this works very well for me. I work in a cubicle at work where our proxy blocks everything enjoyable, so with my HTC ear buds and my phone plugged into USB for power, my work day is much more enjoyable with music to listen to.
Edit: I just tried jamespaulritter's link above, and it works fabulously. I just click Tune In on the station I want, and it goes right to Core Player and gets down to business. Thanks, jamespaulritter!
Kinoma Play
Comes with SHOUTcast , and Live365 in the services menu.
I went ahead and bought Kinoma Play. Holy cow, man! This thing is the holy grail of portable entertainment!
Yeah, it is really versitile and I love the guide content. I just wish the menu system worked better. back, back, back, back to get to the main menu gets old.
Thanks! love this site

This is the only site you need. Basically a reproduction of the actual shoutcast site.
great man
1. thanks for the site.. u did a great job
2. Kinoma works Great on HD2 with the WIFI.. but with 3g Kinoma couldn't stream any sounds.. so i use this site to stream with TCPMP player..
realy good job.
now what do we do for phone 7. love to have something pinned to the start page but pls seems not supported
So this is now my 2nd official post (1st was apps2sd for newbies) and i know many people have been trying to stream live internet radio stations (.pls,.aac,.aac+,.asf,.asx & .m3u files) on the Android OS.
As of now there really isnt a way to play all of those files but yes you can stream them.My last phone was the T-Mobile Wing an i was accustomed to streaming tuned.mobi on my TCPMP and so i was determined to find a way of getting me local radio stations back because i can't live without my sports radio WFAN 66 (NY station).Heres the instructions of getting this to work:
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Download StreamFurious from the android market (Theres a free and paid version,i use the free version)
2. Go to tuned.mobi from your phone browser and from there just choose your country you will find your EVERY local radio stations to stream.
3. To stream the station you want just click on the stream bit for the station
example: 64kb,128kb (will be highlighted in blue)
WHAT YOU CAN AND CANNOT PLAY:
You can ONLY stream stations with MP3 (.PLS,.M3U & .AAC) or OggVorbis links
You CANNOT stream any links that says AAC+ or WMP next to them (Windows Media Player formats is not support on Android through streams as of yet. (.asf or.asx etc..))
That's it folks.Good Luck...Now all i need is my Slingplayer for Android OS and i have everything i had on my Wing and more
If anyone has a way of getting WMP formats to stream live radio please let me know because of all my favorite radio station there's 2 that i can't have on the go due to this issue. (Hot97 & Z100 NY stations)
Hey good looking bro. I was wondering if this was possible. I know Tunewiki says you can get local radio but that app leaves much to be desired. Im gonna try this and see what happens.
My friend just turned me on to StreamFurious I love it. Thank for letting posting about tune.mobi i will have to check it out
Dude you are a awesome. I was able to find the two local stations I listen to and streamfurious loaded them just fine. I was already using streamfurious before this and loved it and now it's perfect. So my friends with FM tuners in their cell phones can go to hell...lol
I love StreamFurious. Your post actually prompted me to make this Way, Way Too May Reboots thread because when I run SF my phone loves to reboot.
Does anyone else's do the same? If so and idea why and how to fix?
I like friskyradio.com in SF for electronic music.
I dont know how i could have ever overlooked an app like this. I been wondering for the longest if something like this was eveb available. Much thx to the op.
Quick question tho, anyone know where i can find a site or something that can stream Howard 100. I ask because i noticed that within the app you can select Howard 101 but they usually dont broadcast the re-runs etc of the show on the channel. I been out of the loop with the show for a while. Would like to take advantage of this app thx again
Thanks for the heads up on the tuned.mobi service. I have been using SF for a while already but some local channels don't have mp3 streams available (many CBSRadio stations) and this let me tune into them with SF.
BTW, maybe this thread belongs in the apps subforum?
I got windows media streams on my G1 by using the AndrOrb app and setting up the stream as a custom radio station on the orb website.
dunno if thats any good to you.
Streamfurious is the best one I've seen for Android.
The other two I have found are FlyCast and AntPlayer. FlyCast has the benefit of showing album covers. It rotates between album cover, song info and ads. It's a little annoying, but it's easier to see what is playing than the tiny text on Streamfurious.
I just found AntPlayer today. It has a very nice search feature. You don't need to know the URL.

That sounds interesting,i will try that because 2 of my fav stations are WMP formats.Thank you.
Streanfurious is good but OR Player is better
Awesome app. Thanks for the heads up!

Re: [APP] myPlayer - BBC iPlayer client [0.40b 11-Jun-2010] BETA
You know BBC forced the shutdown of beebplayer cos they didn't want this functionality so I'd be careful how much time you put into this but keep up the good work all the same.

Yeah, I was going to ask, is this a Beta of the official app? If not, I still have Beebplayer, how is this better? (And how long do you expect it to last before it gets pulled? )
Are the BBC making an official one for android?
Just tried the my player app though, pretty good
Smoother than Beebplayer was.
Hi all,
Was using this on WM previously now usng it on my Streak great app.

Agh I want to try this out but it's fine from the Market!!!
Anyone got the. Apk??
Can't find it on the market Anyone got a direct link?
WHY "An internet connection that is UK based" ??
I would guess because iPlayer wont work for anyone outside of the UK...
WHY "An internet connection that is UK based" ??
because the bbc iplayer only provides it's video streams to those of us living in the uk.
maybe a proxy server would help those of you living outside the uk?
Yeah, maybe if the software could come with something to setup proxy settings it might help those outside the U.K.
I'd install it and see if you had already made one but I'm testing out a little ROM development, the interface looks pretty sick though from the pics
Found a bug, it wouldn't pause for me when I was watching stuff on it.
Yep, pause button does nothing.
Like that app.
Great App!
I'd been searching all over for beeb player, and had pretty much accepted that I'd missed the chance. This is a really well made application.
Video was a little pixelated on wifi to begin with, but seems to smooth out after 20 secs or so.
You can get beebPlayer from hemorrdroids.net (link in my sig)
*** Updated to version 0.50b ***
Change list:
- Supports new BBC iPlayer layout
- Fixed pause button
Does anyone got any suggestion on a radio app that can play radio from the internet?
Pandora

try "A Online Radio"
Definitely by far the best I have used is Droidlive now called xiialive.. has all the shoutcast streams...
+1 for streamfurious

Has a ton of shoutcast streams, icecast and you can add your own and it's free.
I like "Slacker Radio."
Internet Radio
You can try Tune Wiki and Pandora.
Loving TuneWiki since it got that lyric download support.
Does it exist any Internet radio application like this one to Android?: http://www.sourcemac.com/?page=fstream
I might use mine a different way, but I'm in the US and like to listen to live talk radio (I know, I'm the life of the party!)... I use iHeartRadio and RadioTime. RadioTime is waaaay better for my purposes because it lets you search/browse by current, on-air personality, but iHeartRadio has a few stations that RadioTime doesn't.
HTH,
Billy
+1 on RadioTime. I love the fact I can browse and set up my favorites on my home computer, then it "syncs" them to my mobile.
I tried Droidlive, and while the interface looks better than A Online Radio, AOR sounds way better.
+1 for XiiaLive (a.k.a. DroidLive)
Shoutcast, Best UI, works like a charm.
Update: I hadn't realized the original developer still has this on their website. I searched Google before but didn't find any place to download, that's why I posted the mirror. But later on I stumbled upon it. The developer's site is http://exigocs.com you can also download TinyShark Downloader from there.
It's no longer available on Play Store, but I downloaded it shortly after I got Android. I then discovered soon after it was removed from Play Store, so it has since lived on my sdcard with TitaniumBackup, since I did a lot of ROM flashing.
Despite not being updated for over a year, it works great on Jelly Bean , and is still is one of the best Grooveshark apps for android I've ever tried, with playlists, offline cache option, and more.
With offline cache, you can effectively use this as a mobile Grooveshark downloader. It dumps the songs into sdcard/tinyshark_songs/ where they have id3 tags, but are just named a bunch of numbers. You could cache them 1 at a time, then go there and rename the file to whatever you want, or you could just copy to your PC and use software to use id3 to name the files.
Here is the original description:
Listen to Grooveshark on your Android device for FREE.
- Search the Grooveshark database
- Import Grooveshark playlists
- Play individual songs or an entire playlist
- Cache songs for offline playback
Does NOT require Adobe Flash to play music (Settings -> Use Flash Player). TinyShark now does not need Flash for music playback, but it is still an option for those that find it works better.
Starting with version 3.0 a lot has changed under the hood. A lot of fixes are being made so check for updates often. If you are having problems try reinstalling and create a new shortcut in your launcher. If you are still having issues please email details and send any crash reports you can.
Thanks to everyone that's been emailing!
To download songs try Tinyshark Downloader also available in the market.
Taken from:
http://www.bestappsmarket.com/p/app?appId=8894&title=tinyshark
It really works much better with "Use Flash Player" unchecked. [You have to do that to enable Offline Cache]
The app id is com.exigo.tiny

Not connecting
I am experiencing some problems during the last month with this amazing app. It doesn't connect, when i try to connect i can see the 'connecting...' with the yellow light, but in a few seconds becomes again 'Disconnected' with the red light. Is it just me or this app is not working now?
I am having the same issue as well.
Try using tinytunes app from play store.
It's from the same developer but not related to grooveshark
It's pretty good.

If you guys are having issues with 3.1.5 you need to first uninstall 3.1.5 and then update to 3.1.7 found on their website http://exigocs.com/. If you still have problems download and install tiny shark downloader.

I would consider this app *warez* for the fact it is used to steal music off a site that is know for being borderline legal anyways. There is a reason Google removed it from Play.
Just sayin.

Sadly, by buying music you're supporting the music industry (RIAA). By going to concerts you're supporting the artists.

Not the artists I listen to. I buy direct from them or their independent label.
If your music is controlled by the RIAA then you need to stop listening to USA Top 40 and go out and find real music.
Either way is better then supporting this app.
But back to why I brought this up, if XDA allows this app then why not all the other MP3 downloaders in the play Store?
Mod maybe answer?

How to setup squid Proxy for tinyshark for streaming?
Somehow my T-Mobile connection seems to be blocking the tinyshark connection. Whenever I use the T-Mo data connection, my tinyshark would immediately show disconnected.
I managed to setup a squid server so that it now shows "connected" ( squid log says TCP_HIT/200 1495 GET http://grooveshark.com/crossdomain.xml - NONE/- text/xml )
But the songs are not streaming...
Anyone has experience setting up squid for tinyshark that could share some insight?
Thanks!
