Try these url's in iTunes, they'll probably work. If you want to
test mp3/http streams inside QT Player use icy:// instead of http://.
Hmm... no dice. iTunes responds with nothing (doesn't even show a
connection attempt popup or anything) with any of the three formats.
Also tried all three in QT Player with icy:// , but got the same
"Paused" message as before.
BTW - One way to link to mp3/http streams is via a ".m3u" file.
This is simply a text file with the .m3u extension. Inside the file
put the http:// url to your stream (i.e. http://my.ip:8000/playlist
or http://my.ip:80/playlist). Link to this file from a web page
with a standard href tag. When clicked it should launch the
client's mp3 software of choice. Note that your web server must be
configured to deliver the correct mime type for m3u files (i.e.
audio/x-mpegurl .m3u).
Yeah, that part will be straightforward if I can get the playlist
to stream to begin with.
