When I was a WinMo user, I had a lot of trouble finding a reliable PLS player, so I never had the chance to fully enjoy Afterhours.fm on the go. Not a problem anymore! For those of you who have Android phones and want to listen to Afterhours.fm (or any radio station for that matter), give this a shot.
I haven’t had time to make anything specific as far as an AH player, so I’ve resorted to using the free version of StreamFurious to listen to AH.fm while I’m in my car, at lunch, or whatever.
Search the Android Market for StreamFurious – currently, there are two versions; StreamFurious and StreamFurious Pro. (The Pro version is $5.99 (USD) and has a few features that aren’t needed to listen to the current AH stream, so you really don’t need it.)
Anyway, once installed on your phone, open it up, hit the menu button on your phone (there is not a soft menu button) then choose “More Stations” and pick the Shoutcast.com option. Once Shoutcast loads, search for “ah.fm” — afterhours.fm didn’t yield any results for me.
The results for “ah.fm” should have the same options available for Winamp on AH.fm… just pick your bitrate and it will start playing.

If anyone knows of a better FREE PLS player, by all means, plug it here so we can all benefit from it. Meanwhile, when I get time (yeah, right…) I’m hoping to be able to write a quick app that is specific to the AH.fm streams so StreamFurious/Shoutcast won’t be needed… we’ll see, anyway.
Cheers

Since this post is in the top three for generating traffic on my site, I figured I should give you guys some more info…
I stopped using StreamFurious quite a while ago, and switch to Droid Live, which is now call XiiaLive. It’s got a free version, and a paid version. I used the free version long enough to decide it was time to support the developers, so I use the paid version.
If you haven’t heard of it, or haven’t tried it, I highly recommend it. It’s the small things, on top of the main functionality of the software, that make it great.
If anyone has any other streaming radio software they have developed or recommend, by all means, feel free to promote it here.
