I've sacrified some time to crawl through the Nullsoft Shoutcast Search licence. Access to the API requires a valid developer ID and to obtain one you have to get a licence. This licence imposes some constraints on functionality of internet radio player:
1. The player is only allowed to play stations from the shoutcast directory.
2. The player is not allowed to dump stream (decoded or undecoded) to disk.
There are some more limitations, but these two are most important.
Alternatively one can go the hacky way and just access the WWW (possibly spoofing as one of popular webbrowsers) search interface and parsing the web page returned. A bit more work, compared to using the official API, but does not require signing the licence.
BTW I don't know if ANR uses the API (and is a registered application) or just parses a search webpage.
