You can then open it up in a text editor like TextEdit (comes with Mac OS) and grab the stream url contained in that file. Otherwise you might just search for hindi stations on the web and see if you can their their playlist directly. Another thing to try would be to just go to their website directly from shoutcast.com to see if they link to their playlist there.

I suggest searching for hindi and I bet you'll find a bunch of great stations. :) I don’t have any off hand BUT I would definitely check out shoutcast.com, which is a radio station directory.

Do you have any address of a hindi fm radio station that I can play on CastCatcher. Thanks a lot in advance. Thanks a lot amro.

There's simply a check for the station url format that's a little too strict. It will properly load the playlists once we tighten this check. All stations whose playlist urls end in .pls will work fine (pretty much everything that doesn't use some proprietary method to host the playlist). As stated, we are releasing a 1.01 version of CastCatcher immediately to take care of this issue so you will not be out your $3. Thanks for your patience and sorry for the frustration. In the mean time, you can go directly to the sites that shoutcast aggregates and get a direct link to their playlists, in many cases. Hi RZ, That’s not true.

The original intent was to keep users from inputting invalid URLs. It just means that CastCatcher needs a minor tweak to work with shoutcast's new url format. We're going to fix this and release it to Apple tonight. Thanks for your patience and we're very sorry for the inconvenience. Hi Lew, as stated in the update, shoutcast changed their url format.
