I’ve been hunting around for ways to listen to my favourite radio station from downunder, Triple J, on my new 3g iPhone. Surprisingly all I could find was this post that ends in failure.

Well, after some experimenting I have a working solution and it’s free! The only drawback is at this stage I can only get it working with Wi-Fi (and not 3G), however this means it should also work on an iPod Touch.
Here are the steps:

1. Download FStream from the AppStore
2. Once installed, open FStream and add a new favourite using this address: http://www.abc.net.au/streaming/triplej/triplej.m3u
3. Voila! You should now be able to listen to your favourite Aussie twang wherever you might be on the planet.

If you want to add the other stations you ca see in my screen grab, then here’s the URL’s you’ll need (note BBC only works in the UK)
