Create Buddha Radio Add-On
#1
Music 
There is an internet radio station that is just awesome for chilling out to (particularly when hanging out with a chic). Its called Buddha Radio.
You can listen to it at www.buddharadio.com.au and there is an android and iphone app as well.

I managed to create a .strm file which only contains rtsp://wms2.scahw.com.au/live/barry.stream

I can play Buddha Radio using this .strm file in XBMC and it will play the Buddha Radio stream successfully.

But i was wondering if it would be easy for someone to create an XBMC Add-on that
a) shows the current artist and track name (similar to Apple TV does when you AirPlay from the iPhone app)
b) has a nice Buddha Radio logo during play

I just thought it would be a nice quick and simple project for one the guru's out there...

Also - Buddha Radio works on TuneIn.com radio service website and TuneIn android app. But does not play on TuneIn XBMC Add-On..

I just found a listen.pls file which works in my WinAmp and iTunes.
All it contains is

Code:
[playlist]NumberOfEntries=1File1=http://sc.buddharadio.com:80/

And now just discovered they are running a ShoutCast server.

Any feedback from anyone, had over 200 downloads so far?

EDIT: Nov 2015 - Like many others this broadcaster is now rejecting streams that don't come from their website. You may be able to get around this by visiting their webpage first, but i have not tried.
No further updates will be made on this plguin - sorry guys.
