I implemented this Shoutcast streaming-MP3-over-HTTP years ago in Java, and abandoned it almost immediately when Sun pulled MP3 out of Java. I wrote some articles on parsing ID3 and Shoutcast/ICY tags that were never published. They're available at:

<http://jicyshout.sourceforge.net/oreilly-article/>

Presumably, if you're reading a stream with URL Loading Service, CFNetwork, or some other Mac/iPhone API, you'll need to parse out the ICY stuff by hand and handle the non-ICY bytes to Audio File Stream Services.

No, that's part of the ICY protocol. You need to extract that info yourself.
