Shoutcast on PSP

Wednesday, January 9, 2008   


The latest PSP network update brings with it the ability to download and use two internet radio players. One uses Shoutcast, the other Icecast. I've had better luck with Shoutcast, and tried listening to Groovesalad on it. It works quite nicely and there are a slew of stations based on genre (mostly) that you can choose from.

The application injects some "radio noise" beeps and stuff to make it seem more like a real radio station tuner which I found a bit annoying, but overall the experience is pretty nice.

It seems to download the entire streaming file and plays it back via cache in case you lose your wireless connection. I know this because I turned my wireless switch off and the current song played through.
