hiya

i am looking for a good internet radio site that i can listen to whilst i'm out and about.

1. any sugestions guys?


and in relation to my question


2. why does most internet radio app still stops and/or buffers once in in while even if the 3G & wi-fi signal is really good? what could be the causes?

* i'm aware i have a similar thread but i had to slightly amend this one.
 
does it not buffer always? * i have this experience with internet radio stations that they just stop or freezes for some reason or buffers every 15-30 mins when "idle" (i.e. continous listening) even if the 3G or wi-fi signal is almost excellent....
 
I like Pandora. You key in a band and it plays music from similar style music. I have also used Slacker in the past, that gives you genres to choose from similar to XM radio.

Nope doesn't buffer for me like that, maybe a quick note to the developers?
 
OK, I know this one: iheartradio. I tried perhaps six different apps and I always return to that one. It is fast, reliable, lots of stations.

I vote that one.

TuneIn, Slacker and Pandora are my faves. I have found that for me, Pandora and Slacker are the best if I am not in the mood for the signal getting interrupted (not that that will not happen eventually) but....

I like TuneIn for local and regional radio in my area.

All of these apps best used with Wi-Fi, instead of 3G or 2G imho!:)
 
not strictly radio, but 'last.fm' is a good option. It has a play control widget which when used with widgetlocker can be put on the lock screen or anywhere else.
It builds a library of songs based on past and current songs played and recommends songs you may like. It buffers well and runs fine off 3G.
 
I use TUNEIN and love it...I tried to use just a few mins ago and got Error Occurred when loading...My wife's is working sitting right next to me...Any ideas why this maybe happening....I uninstalled and reinstalled and still the same issue...Any help greatly appreciated...
 
i would suggest you to contact inkatechnology.co.uk, they can develop internet streaming radio applications.
