I run a shoutcast station for a small group of people. I would like the ability to broadcast to my server from my phone so that I could do live broadcasts away from home. So far I have not found any software to do this, because searching only yields ten zillion results for streaming radio apps for listening, not broadcasting. Someone I asked tried to suggest that it was not possible to stream efficiently over a 3G connection, but frankly this is rubbish because I have streamed to my server from my laptop via a 3G stick before, and on my phone I have streamed audio and video to services like UStream etc. Does anyone know of any software for android capable of broadcasting to a shoutcast server ? Thanks.

I downloaded a .pls file for an online radio, but I can't open it. Winamp, VLC player all fail when opening, and [A Online Radio](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.leadapps.android.radio) which according to the description can open this type doesn't show up in the "open with this" list. What are my options?

I have spent for 30 hours searching for a solution, however, I need help. I want to provide live stream on an android phone with a user having to download an app. I have used shoutcast but that does not help and when i go to m.mysite.com and click play from android browser it gives unsupported format. however, this site: http://stream.radiojavan.com/radiojavan if I go to it, and then from android browser it plays the stream. Any help will be a great help.

I have android phone and I am trying to run following public Shoutcast stream http://core.crystalone.net:9000/listen.pls in my phone. However, it is not working and when I open it; it gives me error “File Is Not Supported”. This is very strange since In Android 2. 2 and higher, I think shoutcast streaming is default and does not require any additional application to play them. I have searched through net and have following questions. 1. Is android by default play shoutcast stream in browser and does not require any additional app or anything? If anything required then can anyone please provide details? 2. Any settings required in my phone to play it by default since if it is required then I can do it? Like make sure that .pls files are played in default media player or something? 3. I have heard a lot about “Tunewiki” and “Streamfurious” so do I need it to install any app or winamp in my phone before I can play this shoutcast streams? 4. Any settings required in shoutcast stream creation in order to get it played in android, I have window based stream with version 1.9.5? I am out of clue right now and any help will be greatly appreciated. Also can anyone check this URL in their android and let me know if it runs and if yes, then it runs in browser or in some other way? ***Update***: I just tried the listen.pls opened in new Motorola touch screen, Android 2.2. It open the default player but then no streaming is done or nothing is played. It is just opening but playing nothing. Can anyone just confirm that Shoutcast stream will not work on any android phone browser till i install Winamp? And suppose i install it and i open listen.pls in browser, will it automatically go in winamp to play or will I need to do any setting?

I am making application that is using .pls files to read shoutcasts' adresses from them. At one moment I noticed, that sometimes .pls file I was reading data from is disappearing after I have used it. After lots of testing, I noticed, that if I rename file to .txt, it won't get deleted. A little more testing, a voila - sometimes, if I read data from one .pls file (pathname provided in String), ALL .pls files on sdcard get deleted! And my doing anything with any of them - they just all get deleted. I am using HTC Desire Z, Android 2.3.3, not rooted, and I don't remember installing any applications that could be deleting files, especially without my knowledge. Any ideas? I can provide you with the app code I am using, but I don't really think it is connected in anyway to this problem.
