I connected my RPi onto my stero, so I can listen to my music but I want to listen to a few internet-radio-streams. The streams are available in ASX, MP3 and some of theme through SHOUTCAST I've already installed MPD and ICECAST and they are working correctly. How can I listen to these audio streams ?

You need a client that can connect to MPD and tell it what to play.

The simplest is the command line client mpc that can run on the Raspberry Pi. After installing it, you would do something like:

$ mpc add http://62.204.145.218:8000/radio1rock64
$ mpc play

The URL to add will of course be different - it will be the address you set up in Icecast for your stream.

There are many other MPD clients available, for example MPDroid that runs on Android phones, and can connect over a local Wifi network.

Make sure can access the internet via the Pi. – Munkeh Dec 10 '12 at 20:20
It is conected to internet and I even tried it with another URL-stream and they all results in an timeout error – Peter Dec 10 '12 at 20:47
Like @Munkeh suggested try to check if your internet connection is up and running (e.g. ping www.google.pl). – codewarrior Dec 11 '12 at 8:01
Wow I don't no why but I tried again and now it's working fine. This stream shout://www.kickradio.nl:9000 don't work get the following error: error: unsupported URI scheme I replaced shout with http but that don't work either. Is a shout-stream not working in MPD? – Peter Dec 11 '12 at 9:27
