I'm surprised there hasn't been some sort of implementation of internet radio (shoutcast, icecast, etc) into the multiple wiibrew media apps currently available. Any guesses why besides coding reasons?

I don't have a wii but isn't there a web browser? You could just go to sites that host the radio streams an access them that way.

True... and I have done that, but I was just curious why we haven't seen anything implemented for streaming into wiibrew programs such as dragon media player. I know the Mplayerwii app has been testing streaming capabilities but nothing worth while. It just seems like its something other homebrew consoles (in time) have see many of those apps (xbox, xbmc, PSP.)

The Mplayer version that's supposed to play youtube videos (found on the HBB) randomly has two internet radio stations on its default playlist. They work perfectly fine. The youtube playing part ironically doesn't seem work for me :P, but I tend to use it if I'm bored and want to listen to that radio.

Actually I think that GeeXbox supports this but because linux doesn't support wi-fi you need a usb ethernet adapter.
