This one is a bit "strange" and I ran into it myself: the Media Player
app currently seems to not have an UI for selecting files, it has to be
called with a file. You can do that by e.g. selecting a file in the
Video or Music scopes or maybe by installing the "File Manager" (I am
not fully sure, my phone is in a somewhat broken state because I'm
happily debugging other things).

If you are looking for a generic Web Radio app, I think there was one at
some point.

If you are trying to play it through mplayer: there is currently no way
to install mplayer without breaking updates at the same time. "aplay" is
installed, but it can't seem to handle MP3 streams.


have a lot of fun,
Simon
