Is an iPhone able to stream this radio station's feed?

:: 970WFLA.com - Tampa Bay, FL :: News, Traffic and Weather Together On-Demand

(click on the "Click here to launch stream" link)

Safari on my iBook plays it, but I think it's using a Windows Media Player plugin.

Thanks

Nope, the iPhone won't do streaming audio. I just tried it to confirm it, and it crashed my iPhone Safari.

(At least, not yet...but one can hope.)

Thanks a lot for checking. Sorry it crashed your Safari

If the iPhone/iPod Touch could steam internet radio, then I would love to have one. Guess I'll just have to wait a while, and hope that there will be plugins...

How about this one... it's flash, and I'd hope(?) the iPhone has that, since it plays Youtube videos...

That is actually why it has its own dedicated application for YouTube. No flash yet.

However it seems that the YouTube videos are actually re-encoded in h.264 format because the image quality seems to be much better.
