Matthew, no the trial versions aren't supposed to stop playing and error out like that. Who's your carrier and what model BB do you have? I have the 8820 on T-Mobile and I remember having to fiddle around with both players before they would work. Of course I don't remember exactly WHAT I did, but the xplayer app has an option to adjust the live radio settings. I also know that these apps like to fight with other apps for 'net access also so make sure you're not running any internet browsers or google maps, etc. Email is OK to run.

Hey city, I tried to respond to your PM but you've turned off PM's or something? I never could get the dollar5 player to work either so don't feel bad.
Anyway this is of interest to all blackberry owners, so I thought I'd share. OS 4.5 now supports streaming audio and video via the native media player! I upgraded my 8820 and can now stream directly just from clicking an icecast link. It can't do WMP - it tries but gives an error. YouTube mobile also now works! Woot!
If you do a google search you can find a cellphone operator's site to download OS 4.5 from for free - that's what I did. If anyone's interested I'll dig up the site I got it from again and post the link.
Happy scanning/streaming!

How are you getting to the BB Media Player to enter the address of the feed? On my curve, I can pull the "media" icon up, but only have the option to play files on the memory card.
