FreeStreamer

A streaming audio player for iOS and OS X.

Features

  • CPU-friendly design (uses 1% of CPU on average when streaming)
  • Multiple protocols supported: ShoutCast, standard HTTP, local files
  • Prepared for tough network conditions: adjustable buffer sizes, stream pre-buffering and restart on failures
  • Metadata support: ShoutCast metadata, IDv2 tags
  • Local disk caching: user only needs to stream a file once and after that it can be played from a local cache
  • Preloading: playback can start immediately without needing to wait for buffering
  • Record: support recording the stream contents to a file
  • Access the PCM audio samples: as an example, a visualizer is included

Reporting bugs and contributing

For code contributions and other questions, it is preferrable to create a Github pull request. I don't have time for private email support, so usually the best way to get help is to interact with Github issues.
