That serves the radio stream in Ogg/Vorbis format.

This one also fetches the stream from

Firefox supports Ogg/Vorbis.

According to <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorbis#Application_software> iOS
does not support Ogg/Vorbis. There you have to use a third-party application
which adds the support.

I guess cuteradio application does not support Ogg/Vornbis either. It even
does not support FLAC <https://github.com/Suplanus/Cuterdio/issues>.

If the problem is indeed the format, then either add a stream in a different
format supported by iOS (e.g. AAC), or find and install a player which
supports Ogg/Vorbis. A quick web search recommends VLC or OPlayer.
