Flight Line Radio on your iPhone

Having been inspired by Capt’n Chris of the PlaneMadness Podcast... I started tinkering around and have managed to get Flight Line Internet Radio to stream directly to the iPhone. No jailbreaking required.
 
Chris used Tuner Internet Radio, which is very fine app. (Tuner costs $4.99 US which I didn't mind) So following the Captain's directions... (Live ATC on your iPhone) I've successfully loaded Air Traffic Control audio streams from around the world, and they stream just fine over 3G. But as turns out the FLR stream won't work with Tuner.

So I gave the FStream a try, which is a free alternative to Tuner. After some hacking about, I figured out how to get FLR's audio to play.

Here's how to do it:

1. Download and install FStream on your iPhone or iPod Touch.
2. Tap "Favorites," whcih is the star at the bottom.
3. Tap "Edit" at the top left of the Favorites screen.
4. Add Flight Line Radio in the "Name," field
5. Add mms://win.2.c3.audiovideoweb.com/2c3winlive6516 in the "URL" field
6. Tap "Save."

That's it, nothing there's else. You can leave the "Format" and "Bitrate" fields blank. Listen, go back to the "Play" screen and tap the play button or the title. Enjoy.

In addition to rescuing the random stranded stuffed Koala bear, (OSH08 story, ask Steve) the guys from Flight Line Radio are good guys doing cool stuff. There is some excellent aviation content on the channel.

You can track down Don Constanza's profile , or connect with other FLR fans in the Flight Line Radio group on myTransponder.
