Streaming Radio??
 

I'm thinking about making the move from WinMO to Android and there is one deal breaker for me: Streaming Radio. I use my TP2 to stream audio from radio stations from sites like The Stream Center. So far I haven't been able to find any app for android that will do this. Does anyone know of one or know if one is in the works? My favorite for WinMo is KINOMA which has a really nice media guide for selecting radio stations and on line streaming sites.

Unfortunately no. There are players the will play .pls streams but if you are like me, the radio station I would like to stream is in .wma and there isnt a player for that type.

Re: Streaming Radio??
 

Yeah, that's what I kinda gathered from my research. It's a deal breaker for me. I will stay with WinMO until Android gets a decent streaming player. I really wanted to switch to the new 4G phone Sprint has coming out (EVO I think.....)

Wasnt so much of a deal breaker for me but I definitely do miss it. I mean it cant be a WM only type of thing because Black Berrys can play .wma streams sooo... I wish I was a developer, i would make my own app. But then again, i would probably be loved and hated around here. :lol:

I'm currently using streamitall radio (paid version). It plays m3u/pls and .mp3 streams.

I also use links from thestreamcenter.com. Luckily the station I listen to is nationwide so I found a couple of streams that use the .mp3 streaming format and it works for me.

Audio tends to drop out only when doing other things (texting/surfing). Other than that, it works as advertised. Hope that helps

I heart radio app has a good selection of stations and sounds a lot better then the stream center

Re: Streaming Radio??
 

If you used Kinoma, then you *need* to get "Xiia Live" - it's free (or paid, but I don't know the difference - maybe saves favorites or something, I think it's only $5). It has basically the same exact SHOUTcast selection as Kinoma, but it's prettier and has less issues with srtreaming (better buffer). I can't recommend it enough.

Thanks for the info I will check it out. :)

XiiaLive is $3.99 for the pro version.

Re: Streaming Radio??
 

There is an app on the market called RadioTime for 2.99 or pm me and I can you, another way to get this app.

Hmm I am also thinking about jumping to the android platform and the fact that there is no streaming radio player is very disturbing to me. I am currently running a paid version of Wonder radio and like it a lot. I hope someone finds a player in the next week or so because I am on a waiting list for an incredible and the more I dig into what I have and what android does not the more I'm not liking what I here.....

I take this statement back since investigating the app Radio Time I have found out that Radio Time is Wonder Radio! There is a Wonder Radio App for the Android platform and I have been very happy with my WM version of it. So enjo y Guy's!
