Hi,
Waiting for Devialet to update Spark with WebRadio support, I just created a small Mac OS app that allows me to stream directly my favorite web radios to Phantom.
The idea is pretty simple : when you open the app, it creates a web server listening to ports 80 and 4040 on your mac, and redirecting requests received on these ports to the selected URL. Then, when you select a local track in Spark, Phantom or Dialog will try to get the stream from Spark but they will instead be redirected by the app to the stream URL entered in the app.

Here is a link to download it if you're interested : http://1drv.ms/1RN1NTr
Small User Manual :
- Close Spark before launching the app.
- Launch the app. Note : it asks you for your password, because it needs to be a privileged app to access the port 80
- Enter an URL or select one of the bookmarks (sorry guys, I put my own radio streams here)
- Launch Spark, play any local track (ie track located on your computer, to force Phantom to connect to your instance of Spark) : your stream will be played instead
- To change stream, enter another URL in the app (or click on one of the bookmarks), then, in Spark, click on another local track.
Note : I created it yesterday in a couple of hours just to simplify my life, so don't expect something professional here. But as it's a web app created with http://electron.atom.io/, all sources are in the app itself and directly editable, so feel free to edit it
