Hi all. I hope this is the right place to put this. I'm hoping someone out there can help me get the URL needed to play streaming radio, without the "required" Adobe Flash Player. I'm sure it must be possible, I just have to clue how to do it. I tried Google but surprisingly, most results were from several years ago (2006-ish) and I'm sure some of the protocol has changed sense then as none of them helped me.

I'd like to start by adding http://www.fresh100.com/main.html to my web radio section in Album Player. I'd like to add several Clear Channel stations, but this is a good start.

Any help I can get is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time.

you'll need a network sniffer such as wireshark to see what stream the flash applet connects to, or a way to decompile the flash enough to see the url directly.

I could never figure out how to get that to work even doing that with some of these flash player stations. If someone does figure it out, I would like to see a how to as well.

Unless it's really secure, you can often grab the URL via using the "view source" option in your web browser... look around in the code and it's often there.

I tried that, and it seems the easiest way to go about it. Any idea what exactly I should be looking for?

Looks like they use a custom protocol.  There is a developers sdk right on the site:
