I'm sick of getting locked out of Safari every time I want to stream some audio from a specific URL. Is there any app that'll let me input a URL and stream the audio in the background while I use Safari for other things? Obviously an alternate browser would be able to do this but I haven't been able to find one that has been updated for the 4.0 APIs.
Got a tip for us?

Is there any way to stream audio URLs in the background other than in Safari?

You are using an out of date browser. It may not display this or other websites correctly.
You should upgrade or use an alternative browser.

I've been using HiDef Radio to listen to streaming radio. It allows you to add your own URL. That might work.
WunderRadio?
Btw does wunderradio have a recorder? Bit disappointing if it doesn't since it's not cheap comparatively.
To the op:another way would be to just save the stream locally via some app, and play it on the iPod, although if feasible this is much more cumbersome.
yep
and this allows for backgrounding and listening over 3g. it's ace
Fstream should do that, it's a fantastic app, and free. Check it out.

It doesn't. I haven't even looked at other apps like it since I bought it way way back when there were fewer apps.
Also WunderRadio does have background support.
