Question
Hi, I bought an HTC Magic (OneTouch) about 6 months ago. It has the Android SDK 1.6 OS and the carrier is Vodafone (I am in Australia). For a while now I have been trying to find a way of listening to one of the local AM radio stations on the phone which has a WMA based stream, the URL is mms://streaming.mytalk.com.au/3aw. I understand the radio can be listened to on an iPhone app called TuneIn radio. However there appears to be no equivalent for Android. I have tried DroidLive, StreamFurious, A Online Radio and Stream Live Radio and none of them work.
Could you please help.
Thanks
Neil
TuneIn Radio as you mentioned is an App for the iPhone, however, as you have found, there are currently no apps of this exact kind for the Android. I'm sure that there will eventually be this type of App for the Android OS, however, keep in mind that Android is pretty new and also that many of the application writers are writing for the iPhone only and that's why there are so many more apps for iPhones. I would recommend to keep checking as you have been and eventually there should be an app, but my research confirms your findings - no app today for the Android. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
