Listening to Live Radio Streams???

Hmmmm...
This is a device has been promoted as a perfect portable internet device with iTunes, Internet, Safari, iPod, Podcasts and much more....but...
...why can't we listen to a live stream of a radio broadcast, particularly pro and college sports that are streamed on the internet that I CAN currently listen to on my Mac Powerbook...????
Why can't I listen to on my iPhone????
Am I missing something or is the PERFECT device missing something very important.

You should try searching google next time. There are NUMEROUS ways to stream live radio. You can use FlyTunes, not live but great channel selection. You can also use ORB, great service. Sign up fo ran account, link your favorite internet or radio channels, and boom all on your ipod. I use ORB and USirius t listen to my 120 plus channels of Sirius radio, as well as use ORB for WFAN Radio and ESPN....Also Accuradio, you should search google, there are numerous ways to stream

Can I assume that 2.0 FINALLY provides listening to live radio streams?????

Still hoping that 2.0 and/or the Apps Store will give us the ability to stream live audio on our iPhone.
Have been waiting for one year a feature that I assumed in 07 would be an automatic on the iPhone.
Why would the "perfect" device (yes I do like it) that has iPod, iTunes, Internet, Safari, Videos, Audio and much more NOT have the ability to listen to live streams of radio and in particular sports streams is really baffling.
I am praying that this feature is available in the 2.0 upgrade and/or at the Apps Store ...pls tell me it is available.

If the stream you want to listen to is using Windows Media it will probably never be available on the iPhone.
If it is using Flash then you need to go to the Adobe website and ask them to write a Flash client for the iPhone.

From a new ipad user: if I'm listening to live radio, how do I switch it off to move to another site without switching off the ipad?

If you're listening to radio from the app, you need to go to that App (press Home button twice for multitasing menu and tap on its icon), and stop it there. If there is no such feature - you can "kill" the app, open multitasking menu again, hold one of the icons for couple of seconds, and click "X" symbol next to the radio app.
If the radio streams in Safari (web browser), you can simply stop it by closing the tab - tap little "X" next to the tab where the radio is playing.
Hope this helps

When I am listening to the radio (streaming through itunes) my macbook pro will log me out, quitting all the applications I have running (often firefox, word processing, itunes, etc). Why?

When I am listening to the radio (streaming through itunes) my macbook pro will log me out, quitting all the applications I have running (often firefox, word processing, itunes, etc). Why?
It's very frustrating and I don't understand why it happens. It might happen other times, but I notice it the most when I'm streaming the radio through itunes, though I think it's also happened when I'm streaming music or shows from NPR, so I don't actually know if it's an itunes thing, or an internet thing? Or just my computer being stupid? But how can I fix it?
Thanks!

My best guess at this point is a problem wwith 10.5.8
It seems clear to me that sometimes, seemingly randomly, software will access the video card (flash player, quicktime, Safari's HTML5 video player, etc) and it will cause a freeze and then log out.
However - it could just be video card + processor under load.
This didnt happen before 10.5.8 and I'm thinking it's not the new 27" display causing the issue.
I'm going to attempt to find time to revert back to 10.5.0 and then combo update back up to 10.5.7 which may be difficult as our IT is remote and we don't have access to Snow Leopard discs.
I may just have to bring my own in.

Using iPad to listen to live radio

Does anyone know why I can't listen to live radio on the BBC website from iPad2? Everytime I touch listen live for a particular BBC radio channel I am directed to BBC iPlayer where I can only listen to radio programmes that have finished. Very frustrating!
Any ideas. Thanks in advance.
Patrick

The BBC iPlayer app lets you listen to live content - just select the Radio button at the bottom of the app, and then select Stations at the top and you should be able to select one of the BBC's national channels for live listening. It doesn't have local/regional channels - but apps such as TuneIn Radio may let you listen to them.

E65 problem with listening to live radio

I have a fine wifi connection and live tv access but have problem to connect to any live radio station while connected though wifi. can anyone kindly help me out?

how do I listen to live broadcasts using my mac and why isn't this ability written into the OS.
It's not "written into the OS" because a Mac does not have a radio receiver. If you are referring to streaming broadcasts that come over the Internet, that capability is dependent on the web browser, not the OS. And as mentioned above, iTunes also has the capability to stream Internet-based "radio."
You can also go to any number of web sites that stream "radio" broadcasts. Just do a Google search on "internet radio". For example, here is a web site that aggregates such streams.

Listening to BBC radio stream

Hi
I live in Bangkok and like to listen to the BBC radio 5 web stream while driving around town.
Currently I'm using WunderRadio but I was wondering if anyone would recommend different radio streaming software?
Thanks
Mick

Hi BkkMick,
My app (yes, I'm the developer, and I will get paid if you buy my app) ooTunes Radio has many of the BBC streams. However, only those that are available in windows media audio (WMA format) will work in the apps that support wma format. ooTunes Radio (my app), Wunder, pocket tunes and FStream (a free app) all support wma audio streams. I have the BBC 5 live and BBC 5 sports xtra streams already in the built in database and they work great. The full list of stations compatible with my app is here: http://ootunes.com/s/ though there are a few BBC streams there that only work in the UK (they are labeled that way). Good Luck!

Listening to live radio broadcasts

As I have been sitting at my IMac (purchased April 09) day in and day out over the past weeks, I thought it would be good to listen to radio live broadcasts. To my surprise - or not - I find that apart from BBC iPlayer programmes nothing else is useable. (I have tried a wide variety of on-line channels). I seem to have this big machine, supposedly all singing and all dancing, yet can't listen to the radio. I just get the download box come up and a window full of script.
So answer is - how do I listen to live broadcasts using my mac and why isn't this ability written into the OS.
Thanks
Ann

Listen to internet radio stream on IPhone

I am broadcasting an internet radio station using NiceCast. I have links for both a Real Player and a Quicktime client for listening. How can I make my stream available to the IPhone?
The link www.jazzknob.org opens with a default link to Real Player. A click will switch to Quicktime. Can I make a third link that the IPhone will listen to? I'm quite surprised that the IPhone doesn't support Quicktime.

My e63 can play it via realplayer using
http://www.rthk.org.hk/live3.ram
you can save as link also..
only down side is that it can't play on background.

Cannot listen to online radio streaming using Windows Media Player

Online radio websites that use Windows Media Player - opens up the player in new window but instead of buffering, says that it is playing but no output/sound. Definitely not security/pop up/firewall issue. Windows Media Player works fine playing CDs etc.

Hi there,
so, you definitively have a machine whichs plays sound and you can establish a internetconnection. I think its a pure mediaplayer problem (softwareproblem).
You have the following options:
1. Reinstall your mediaplayer or update it.
2. install another mediaplayer software like winamp or some other jukebox
3. ..no further options
Give some feedback, so I can maybe help you with your problem. ;)
Cheers

Streaming Live Radio

Can anyone tell me how to stream live radio stations on-line? I like to listen to live radio streaming on-line. When I go to radio station websites and click the listen live button nothing happens. Thanks.

When I try the station website directly it doesn't connect me when I click on the listen live icon. A window appears with unrecognizable script. The link is www.kkla.com. It's a local radio station in the Los Angeles area. Thanks.

Listening to Radio Streams of Sports

I am in college athletics and, one of them main reasons why I got the iPhone was so I could tune into live radio streams of games.
Also pay for Major League Baseball audio broadcasts and could not get them in my iPhone.
I am assuming that this is all linked to the use of Flash.
Any updates you can provide would be very, very helpful.

The URL, or the information on the server, doesn't appear to be formatted such that QuickTime Player can recognize it as an RTSP stream. I tried to figure out, with my minimal French, an alternative from the broadcaster's web site, but could not find a stream version that would work directly in QuickTime Player. Unless someone else here can find a workaround, it looks like you'll have to use one of the other players for that stream.
Regards.

NC6000 laptop-unable to hear online live radio

I can play tv programmes through IPlayer but am unable to listen to live radio or old programmes.
I've downloaded Windows media to no avail.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Maybe someone else know of a quick fix, not me unfortunaley, it is also a while since I used 10.6.8.
At least the audio system works correctly.
Few more questions.
Do you have any extentions in Safari preferences, such as Ad block, Flash block etc, these can stop streaming working? I cannot remember if these extentions were available for Snow Leopard.
Did you use a Proxy server in your network settings that as been disabled by the software upgrade, or have they set one up for you in network settings to use the school network?
Do use a particular station, if so what is it and I will try it on my computer. It may give some pointers to what is stopping on your computer.
and I should have asked this before, can you steam radio from other locations, say at home etc.
