Windows Phone 8 - Playing streamed audio (internet radio station)

Question

I am trying to make an application that would play an audio stream (mp3) from the following URL http://icecast6.play.cz/radio1-128.mp3. I am struggling to get it working. Is there any default support for cases like these? That the content is continuously streamed?

I have tried to use Background Audio Agent and set Media Element but none of that has been working for me. Would Background Audio Streamer be an option for me? I would be happy for any similar example that I would use to my advantage.

Thank you

You need to use BackgroundAudioPlayer by creating another project and adding its reference to your project.
