SHOUTcast Radio client for iPhone and iPod touch on App Store
I was thrilled to learn today that a SHOUTcast Radio client is now available on App Store - free from AOL - 25,000 streaming stations - wow - now on my iPhone (but also for the iPod touch).
The interface is fantastic, with easy to touch buttons. It has a good search and an easy-to-access history feature. The sound quality is superb. When I learned about it through a Twitter search for shoutcast, I was listening to Shoutcast through the Winamp client on my multimedia PC connected to my home stereo system. As soon as it was downloaded, I stopped the Winamp and searched to find the station on the new iPhone client. Immediately, there it was! I plugged in my earphones, and there was the full quality.
I am currently connected over Wi-Fi. The description says it will work with both 3G and Edge. I’ll soon have an opportunity to test those out.
On one of the App Store reviews, someone complained that it was ad-supported. So what! The music keeps playing when the iPhone is locked and in one’s pocket. Stations themselves may have ads, but not much for the ones I’ve listened to.
From vocal trance to classical guitar to any kind of talk, thousands and thousands of streaming radio stations from around the world, regardless of local reception, without a monthly fee. It sounds too good to be true, but it is here!
The search to do on the iTunes App Store is: shoutcast. There is currently one result: shoutcast radio. The download is quick!
SHOUTcast is really taking some big steps forward at the moment. We recently released our SHOUTcast station onto the iPhone with streaming that does not require an app. The feedback from listeners has been amazing. Try it for yourself http://m.slinky.fm
