I've looked for hours and cannot seem to find.
the steam works on windows media player:
mms://adams.wm-live.abacast.com/.... and so on.
can someone help please
There is an app called "Tuner" on page 2 of the music section in the app store (viewing from iTunes, it may be different when on the iPhone). Its $4.99 and it says you can "Listen to thousands of internet radio broadcasts right on your iPhone...or add you own streams..."
I hope this answers your question. I am not completely sure if it will work how you want it to because I dont have the app (or an iPhone...yet) but I have looked at nearly everything in the app store in anticipation of getting mine.
Tuner can play custom streams, but only those that are Shoutcast compatible; MMS obviously is not (plus it's probably WMA). For the moment you're SOL.You are right but "Tuner" Plays predefined streams which are listed there, but I was looking for an app that you can input the stream link such as:
mms://adams..... etc. Besides an app store is there another way to get this stream played?

Someone would need to license some tech from MS to make it happen. Not that it's impossible, but at the same time there's not a lot of stuff that's in such a proprietary format.I'm surprised how an iphone is not natively capable to do such a simple thing. the basic nokia phones can handle this stream. Isin't there an app that is in the works. Has anyone tried this or even requested this.

Navigates,
You can bump this thread every several days, but it won't help the fact that you are trying to stream a very proprietary format. Most Mac developers don't exactly like Microsoft's proprietary technologies. What you can do, is as often as you go and bump this thread, spam the stream you want to listen to and get them to use a more widely used format.
When I'm at work I like to listen to rock1053.com but when I get up from my desk I have no way to listen to the mms stream on my phone. So heres what I had to do.
First I downloaded URLsnooper2 and ran it. Then I went to rock1053.com loaded the stream and checked back in URLsnooper to get the mms url. I had to use URLsnooper because the mms stream url is hidden.
Then I added the "Nullsoft Shoutcast" plug-in to winamp
Then I installed "SHOUTcast DNAS" to output a shoutcast stream that Tuner can play.
So If I add the mms url from URLsnooper into winamp and configure the plugin to work with SHOUTcast DNAS then I can listen to my stream in Tuner. (Each program should have instructions on how to set it up)
This works for me since I have a computer to stream from but I guess your out of luck if your on the road and didn't set up the shoutcast stream ahead of time.
I should mention I do this on a PC. I don't currently know the process to setup a shoutcast stream on the mac.
Great Tip. I'll try it out !
