I made a daemon and client, radiod and radioc (uh-uh), so one can have
mplayer daemonized and using the client just like you use mpc for mpd.

I use both for such thing's.
Amarok:
In playlist menu there are opton named add stream and then you just paste url to podcast.
VLC:
In add media you will have add stream option and in this window you paste your url to podcast.

I'm not sure what front-end you're using for mpd, but it most certainly can.

In ncmpc (I imagine ncmpcpp is much the same): press 'a' to open the add prompt and enter the url, eg 'http://128.aac.streams.lsw.evo.hard.fm:8000'. I'm not sure about xmms though, but mpd can even play 'mms://' radio streams. What client are you using and is mpd configured correctly/working anyway?

You can test if it's mpd itself by talking to it directly:

echo "add \"URL\"" | socat - tcp-connect:localhost:6600 && echo "play" | socat - tcp-connect:localhost:6600

What is the url you are using for your streaming radio station? Maybe it is the incorrect format. BTW, I recommend Clementine - it's a wonderfully light player with much hallowed Amarok 1.4 pedigree.

Did you try radiotray http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O … _Search=Go?

I can play streaming radio with mpd using this.

I am playing online radios with mplayer.

mplayer --playlist radio.url

I use smplayer (mplayer frontend) to play online radio, mostly the stations featured at shoutcast.com
