You’ll need a data connection in order to use the app, though this can be 3G or Wi-Fi (I’d recommend sticking with Wi-Fi unless you’re sure you can afford the data charges connected with constant 3G usage). TuneIn Radio is an iPhone app that will allow you to listen to almost any streaming internet radio station directly on your smartphone. The portable digital radios currently on the market are ugly, bulky and notoriously bad at receiving signal.Īs people are getting used to only carrying their smartphones with them it seems like madness to carry around an extra device just to listen to a small selection of extra streaming music. It’s also because the production of portable digital radios has been very slow to pick up.
This is partly because digital radios, even though they’ve been around for a decade now, are still not that common place. There are hundreds of internet radio stations out there, and plenty of digital radio stations that you’ll probably never get the time to listen to.
