Can I play audio streams from Icecast?

Article applies to both the Palm and Windows Mobile operating systems

You should be able to connect to an Icecast stream by creating a PLS or M3U file and putting it on a web site. Then use Blazer to open the M3U or PLS file, and it will play. If the Icecast stream is using MP3, this should work right away. If it's using Ogg Vorbis, then the URL of the IceCast stream must end with ".ogg" (e.g. http://www.myserver.com/icecast/stream1.ogg ). Note that we don't yet support IceCast metadata, so you won't be able to see the name of the current song, for example.
