    I doubt voip has anything to do with internet radio protocols.

    You will need to use the audio-playing capbilities, and there are several formats for streaming audio over the internet.

    Internet radio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Streaming audio is pretty much the same as internet radio. The only difference is whether you always start at the beginning (streaming audio) or if you start at the present time (streaming radio).

    I have absolutely no idea about which API's to use for this purpose.

    Someone else may know, so please have a bit of patience.
