Mobile audio streaming FAQ for Infant stations 

This station uses Shoutcast & WOWZA to deliver a live HE-AAC / AAC+ audio stream to a

Flash player. Very few mobile platforms support Flash streaming but some do from Shoutcast (SC).

Some phones will work out of the box this way but for most other phones you’ll need to install a 3rd

party application depending on your phone’s operating system.

Shoutcast streams are typically opened using .pls playlist file. On a PC you would use 3rd party

software like Winamp,VLC or iTunes to open a SC stream; on a MAC, you would use QuickTime,

VLC or iTunes.

The SC playlist URL for Eden FM is http://infant.antfarm.co.za/edenfm/listen.pls

Some models support a .pls while others need the direct URL to the stream.

In order for you to listen to a stream using your mobile phone using above URL,

please refer to the table below to get some guidance as to what could be done to achieve this

Blackberry 

Browser method

You must have a blackberry running an OS newer than 4.5.

Copy the URL to a bookmark. Clicking this bookmark should present you with the option to stream

or save the file, click stream.

App method 

Several apps advertise the ability to steam radio stations, and there really is a wide range of options

available for you. We recommend TuneWiki. Not only can this handle steaming radio, its long list of features makes it worth your time.

Nokia/Symbian 

There is currently no “out-of-the-box” solution for Nokia or other Symbian type phones. There are two

3rd party solutions that are compatible with theses handsets, one of which is dependent on the station to

register and add their stations to the list of stations, namely Virtual Radio.

Take a look at Virtual Radio (www.vradio.org).

Or Nokia Internet Radio (http://nokia-internet-radio.en.softonic.com/symbian) in which you can

manually add the streaming URL.

If Nokia Internet Radio has been installed on a Symbian handset, opening the SC URL above in a

browser on the mobile will launch Internet Radio and automatically playback the audio stream without

needing to register the station. Page 2 of 2

Android 

On some Android phones you could download and install the “A Online Radio”. Check the Free

Multimedia Category on the Android Market. This option depends on the version of Android you’re

running. Add your interested channel on your own by using either of 2 ways:

1) Manually add, by entering Link.

2) Click on your channel link insider browser. The app will be launched and your channel will be added

to favourites.

iPhone/iPad 

You can open the above URL directly and the stream will playback in QuickTime/iTunes

WindowsMobile 

By installing a 3rd party application called GSPlayer,

(http://www.freewareppc.com/multimedia/gsplayer.shtml )one can enter the above URL
