I know it is possible to play one file in the background whilst browsing the app, but not a stream. Is this something which could be added in future? Thanks again Roy Title Comments I'm building a radio station app and I'd love the option to give users a play button on the main menu page, which starts streaming a .m3u file and continues whilst the user browses the rest of the app. Even an option to continue using iPhone's quicktime once the app is closed would be a bonus.

Streaming Audio to the app in the background is a bit of a speciality thing and as such does take some programming time and engineering. There are complexities that are not obvioius and as such it's taking us quite a bit of time to work this out. And, of course we try to engineer these types of features while keeping our Android Fans in mind too - getting a solution for both is the goal. We'll get there.

This application allows you to use shoutcast and icecast streams. let me know if your interested. paulwyre at gmail.com Comments I have created several radio streaming applications that will also display your stream info and give listeners the option to be directed to itunes to buy the current playing song.

Maybe email the project to our info 'at' buzztouch.com address. If I can figure out what you've done we can help lots of folks ;-) Comments VERY interested. I would love to see your approach.

David @ buzztouch buzztouch Evangelist Posts: 6866 Reg: Jan 01, 2010 Monterey, CA 78,840	02/21/11 12:10 PM (15 years ago) No worries, I'll figure out what you did if you're willing to share it. No worries (really, I get it) if you don't want to. I've been digging around, experiementing, and engineering a way to offer this type of thing to our users. I have created several apps that do the same thing. I'm thinking your approach could be the same as mine but it could be different? There are a few streaming projects online and most of us have implemented a few of the strategies that others have - I'm no different. Either way, no biggie, it's a bit out on our radar anyway. Gotta get v1.5 documented and Android supported! Comments No worries, I'll figure out what you did if you're willing to share it. No worries (really, I get it) if you don't want to.
