Radio - Intersect World LLC
Original Release Date for this iPhone App: December 03, 2008
***** Supports full-multitasking with Background Play with iOS 4.0 *****
Listen to over 40,000 radio stations anywhere in the world and search stations using a powerful new search engine!

Radio includes the free SHOUTcast™ Radio Directory, one of the largest directories of professionally and community programmed online radio stations in the world. If you're into popular or indie music, or want to check out local or world programming, you're sure to find something you like in the free SHOUTcast™ Radio Directory.

You asked for it! Background Play is now available starting with version 3.0 using Safari, together with other "collaborative" features: Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, browsing the station's website for current programming schedules. All without leaving your audio player.

With Twitter and Facebook support you can tell your friends what radio station you're listening to, "live", without stopping your audio to invoke an external Twitter or Facebook client!

Includes all your favorite iTunes stations and all Icecast stations in MP3 format. Dynamic directory provides for adding new directories and stations from our servers with no need for an application update.

Select your station by directory and genre or add your own favorite stream. You can also pick from your favorites or your recently played stations. You can even share with your friends iTunes and Radio links to a station stream using your iPhone or iPod Touch Mail application. And you can also post your favorite links directly to Twitter.

Supports MP3 and AAC stream formats and PLS, M3U and XSPF playlists.

Radio includes NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards streams from the National Weather Service, thousands of emergency scanner streams from RadioReference, over 2,000 European stations and stations from Australia and New Zealand, over 320 Public Radio stations, over 100 Canadian stations, plus a database of National, Local, Canadian and International channels.

The latest version includes background Play (on both iOS3 and iOS4), background browsing of station web sites and background e-mail of station links.

If you like the music of the 80's, 90's, the Beatles, Pandora Radio, AOL Radio, iHeart Radio, Slacker Radio, SoundHound, ESPN Radio, or Emergency Radio, and want to access tens of thousands of additional radio stations, don't delay - try Radio now!

Version 4.0:
Full multi-tasking with background audio: Radio keeps playing after you tap the home button. You can go surf the web or use Facebook or Twitter or send and E-mail and the music won't stop.

Double-tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking UI and slide over the remote controls to pause/resume playing. In addition, you can lock the device, bring up the remote controls on the lock screen and pause/resume playing. It will also show the "playing audio" icon besides the power icon, when audio is playing. And it responds to pause/resume from external microphones as well.

These features are available only on multitasking capable devices with iOS4.

Version 4.2:
* Added support for high-resolution application icons (for iPhone 4)
* Added links to Facebook and Twitter support pages on Help screen
* Minor bug fixes and performance enhancements
