I’ve updated the audiostream-meta project hosted on Google Code to include all the updates I’ve made to the original AudioStreamer example from Matt Gallagher. In addition to parsing audio stream metadata the latest code will play AAC and AAC+ V1 (thanks to Brian Stormont) streams. The stream bitrate is also detected and displayed, along with the metadata, on the sample view.
I fixed a bug on my iPhone viewmymessage.com copy paste hack web page. Some messages wouldn’t work, should be fixed now. Here’s the original post about the page and here is a direct link to the page itself.
Since the iPhone only allows one program to be running at a time users of streaming radio applications can’t read their email or look at Twitter while listening to music. The new iPhone OS 3.0 has added a feature that helps make this possible, although it’s not perfect.
If you open a compatible streaming radio link in Safari on the iPhone it will open a QuickTime player that will play the stream. Since Safari is allowed to run in the background, you can press the home button and start up other applications while the stream is still playing in Safari. The downside is that you can’t do anything else in Safari while the stream is playing.
Try it. Click on the Indie 103.1 playlist URL or the Houndstooth Radio stream URL from your iPhone.
I’ll add a feature to Stream.ly in the next update to do this automatically from the application. I’ll also update the Stream.ly website so you can browse the station directory from Safari on the phone and listen to a station without needing the application itself. The application adds a lot of nice features though. 
UPDATE: It’s still in a “beta” stage, but you can now browse around the Stream.ly Radio web directory and play stations in Safari from this URL. iPhone only for now.
Anyone who has an iPhone has probably received a text message that looks like this:
I sent you a multimedia
message. You can view my
message w/in the next 7 days
via the web at
www.viewmymessage.com/1
using MSG ID l3l4kd93ej
Password lame4att
Until AT&T unlocks the new MMS support in OS 3.0 us iPhone users have to enter a message id and password on http://www.viewmymessage.com to view MMS messages. Since the new OS allows copy and paste I made a web page to simplify the process. You can copy the entire text message and paste it into the textbox right from your iPhone. Touch the Send button and the message id and password are pulled out and sent to the viewmymessage.com site.
None of your text messages or MMS pictures are saved or logged by this page.
I even made a quick icon for it, so you can save a nice Safari home screen bookmark.
