SHOUTcast recorder for iPhone

What's the state of audio on the iPhone right now? Are we getting close to the point where something like an mplayer port might be possible, or do you still get that static and skipping whenever you do something that isn't iTunes playback?

The great, revered WFMU is now streaming it's broadcasts live to the iPhone:

and as reported on BoingBoing: http://www.boingboing.net/2007/11/05/wfmu-streaming-radio.html

The streams were a bit flakey at first, but they've since fixed things, and I can now listen the the best radio station on the planet anywhere, any time on my iPhone (even over EDGE). So awesome.

There's also iRadio, which streams Shoutcast "stations". Too bad you cant plug in your own streams, however. One can have only so much friggen Trance stations, after all...:

I don't know if this is already available or not, but something just to listen to streams, and not necessarily rip them, would be amazing. The radio station at my school is internet-only, so it would give us all sorts of validity if people could just play it on their iPods/iPhones

Yawn....

I mean, good step in the right direction, but wake me when I can listen to live shoutcast streams or streaming media on my iphone on the go and i'll be impressed.

Streamripper is great!

But when will StreamRipperX be updated for the Mac? It is very old.

The only way to get a relatively new version of Streamripper on the Mac is via DarwinPorts or Fink..

Perhaps the author for the iPhone version will make a version for the Mac. We can only hope.
