There is finally an internet radio app for the iPhone/iPod Touch and it didn’t come from Apple. No, in fact, it came from Conceited, the company that offers up a lot of the apps in the Installer library.
iRadio grants you access to a fairly long list of MPEG streaming internet radio stations. Its in beta, so it need some work, and you should be cautious about installing it. And yes, before you ask, it is reported to work over EDGE as well
Really, the only area in my opinion that it needs work, is with the data it displays, there are names in the far left column, but you can’t read the full names, and there isn’t any inclination to what type of music the station is playing. Furthermore, all the numbers and stuff in all the other columns, well I have no clue what they are for. However, they mostly have it locked down, functionally the app works, it has a volume knob built into the app, it plays even when your device is locked, and it really does stream music from the internet, it just needs some user-friendliness tweaks.
iRadio for your iPod Touch [via apple-touch]
i’d love to be able to add my own streams
I donno the M or A thing, but the numbers look like bitrate and # of current listeners (sorted by most popular)?
The M means mp3
The A means AAC
Someone tell me how to uninstall this piece of shit. I crashes and now it is inoperative. Someone should warn end users that they have known issues and how to uninstall. Don’t put this software on your iPhone.
this app is amazing, there’s an updated version……… i’ve been using it all week….
Been using it for a few hours straight, increased battery decline. I love it however, waiting for volume control and data display (to see what I’m listening to). Conceited, keep it up!!
How can I add other radio station to the list?
Have you tried the app Wunder Radio? I really like that one.
Stations from around the world as well as local.
