Has anyone got a good solution to Casting internet radio streams from shoutcast/icecast servers? For instance, SomaFM, Resonance FM. NTS Radio.

It's usually possible to cast a tab from the web interface for the radio station. It's sometimes possible to track down the mp3 stream and then play it on the chromecast. But I haven't found anything that makes this easy. And there are some problems with HTML5 audio support with streams like this.

I'm only interested in desktop Chrome apps, not iOS or Android.

Not on their own. But lots of us have home theatre systems. And Cast for Audio is coming with a Chromecast built into powered speakers.

If it's good enough for Google Play Music and Music Key/YouTube at 320k, it's good enough for 128k shoutcast/icecast streams.

True. But I don't think it will play an arbitrary Shoutcast station. Leastways, I can't see anyway of playing Soma.Fm - Groove Salad (for instance) through it.

It might do one day. But I can't see any Chromecast support in the web version, currently.
