Any one know how I can stream internet radio on iPhone with code? Is a provider required?

A:
iPhone OS 3.0 supports live streaming via HTTP of MPEG-2 transport streams containing AAC audio (HE-AAC or AAC-LC). You'll find everything you need to know in the HTTP Live Streaming Overview.

Matt Gallagher wrote a very good class for playing streaming audio on the Mac desktop and on the iPhone. See it here How To Stream Internet Radio on iPhone.
The flipside is you need a server running Nicecast, Shoutcast, Icecast or some other MP3 or AAC streaming audio software. And of course this server will need an audio connection to the radio station - either through an FM receiver, analog connection or dedicated hardware - entirely based upon the capabilities and infrastructure of the station.
