Zinf Audio Player is an audio player with built-in support for HTTP streaming, SHOUTcast, and Icecast. This lets you play audio files through their HTTP URL or use an M3U file from SHOUTcast or Icecast. One of the platform's standout features is the ability to save music streaming sequences to your computer.
The audio player also includes all the standard functions of an MP3 player. But, as we mentioned earlier, its strength lies in its ability to stream music from various streaming sources.
How to Stream Music from HTTP, SHOUTcast, and Icecast
Once you've downloaded the program, you can stream music from HTTP, SHOUTcast, and Icecast easily. For HTTP streaming (it also supports RTP), simply download the playlist file from the mentioned websites, then in the program's interface click the MyMusic button. The music browser will open. There you select the Add New Stream option, and the platform will ask you for information such as the name, stream URL, and so on.
All that's left is to click OK and add the song to the environment's playlist, then select it (it will start buffering and finally play).
If instead you need to stream from SHOUTcast or Icecast, you only need the M3U file for streaming (these files can be downloaded from the official SHOUTcast or Icecast directories). After obtaining the file, you add it to the playlist and you can listen to the song.
The utility also lets you equalize the song from the wave icon in the top-right corner, customize the platform's interface, and correct song metadata.
Truly, Zinf Audio Player is one of the best audio players for streaming music from SHOUTcast, Icecast, and HTTP. The program is free and available for Windows and Linux.
