need to write receiver of streaming audio

Hi folks!

I'm a developer, and I need to write an application that receives/subscribes to an internet radio source. Thus, I'm trying to learn everything I can about the underlying technologies.

My first question is - what are the dominant protocols/technologies used for internet radio? I've done some reading on ICY - is that the most common?

Secondly, I'm hoping that there exists a toolkit or package that I could use to write my audio receiver. My language of choice is Java - are there any packages out there for interacting with streaming audio from internet radio sources?

Thanks!

There are tons of protocols and formats it just depends on what you care or are willing to support.

Something I am using in the next version of Radio Toolbox is BASS. It is pretty much a backend media player giving you all the functionality without any of the work. There does appear to be a Java API for it so check it out here http://jerome.jouvie.free.fr/Bass/NativeBass/index.php
