Get web text to Label

Question

I need to get the text from URL http://cast.midiaip.com.br:6530/currentsong?sid=1 and display it in a UILabel My code is like that: ViewController.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface ViewController : UIViewController
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *musicasLabel;
- (IBAction)textoButton:(id)sender;
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIWebView *webView;

@end

ViewController.m

#import "ViewController.h"
@interface ViewController ()
@end
@implementation ViewController
@synthesize musicasLabel;

- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

- (IBAction)textoButton:(id)sender {
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://cast.midiaip.com.br:6530/currentsong?sid=1"];
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
NSString *string = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:[data bytes]];
musicasLabel.text = string;
}
@end

I always get the error:

You are initializing your string incorrectly. Your question is answered here: convert UTF-8 encoded NSData to a NSString

thank you for the answer, but this did't work, the label is blank. my code: - (IBAction)textoButton:(id)sender { NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://cast.midiaip.com.br:6530/currentsong?sid=1"]; NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url]; NSString *string = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]; musicasLabel.text = string; NSLog(@" Data %@, string %@", data, string); the log: 2015-04-17 04:27:54.091 teste label[15141:855436] Data (null), string – Fernando Costa Neto Apr 17 '15 at 07:29
This code: `NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://cast.midiaip.com.br:6530/currentsong?sid=1"]; NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url]; NSString *string = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];` worked for me. I got the correct `NSString` value. – Larme Apr 17 '15 at 07:44
didn't work for me, my label is blank, and i use nslog and the data is null and the string blanc. What i did wrong? thanks – Fernando Costa Neto Apr 17 '15 at 23:55
