Re: Have you an iPhone? Want music? Read...

Since November of 2009, I've downloaded over 20GB of data on my 3GS, a lot of being Auralmoon's 128k stream. Lately I've been using Normsoft's Pocket Tunes. Their most recent software release (less than an hour ago from this posting time) provides support for iOS4 and "multitasking", so I'll put the two of these reviews together. The net-net is this is a GR8 upgrade. The phone now can happily stream the radio station and allows use for other work to be done at the same time. It also appears that Safari allows for better zooming in on the now playing area of the webpage which means even us old geezers can read the artist/song info at a distance while driving. I'm including a sample so you can see how it looks.

I will still say that Slacker's and Pandora's display is still the benchmark for how these internet radio stations should present visual display. Nevertheless I am a very happy camper.

I just wanted to 2nd GR8's endorsement of Pocket Tunes app for the iPhone & iPad. It's the bees knees. Runs in the background and pretty much acts like iTunes when doing other tasks or taking phone calls. Love it.

I'm using the 96k AAC stream, but could as easily use the 128 or 56k.

I have also used 'StreamItAll' but it doesn't have the multi-tasking feature for streaming.

Enjoy you phone streaming.

Dale

Wunderradio 1.92 was also just released and works equally well.
