    Got it, sweet thanks :)

    (9.0Mb if that matters)

  • llama on 06/01/2011 - 10:42

    Any idea how bandwidth-intensive this is? In other words, the MB per minute (or whatever)

    • eleana on 06/01/2011 - 11:26

      I want to know as well as I'm on 3G.

    • silo on 06/01/2011 - 11:45

      not too sure, but it gives you 3 stream buffer options (small, med, large)..

    • covert on 06/01/2011 - 13:34

      It all depends on the kb/s of the feed and if it is mono or stereo. A 32 kb/s stream will use 1/4 the data a 128kb/s stream uses. A mono stream will 1/2 the data of a stereo stream of the same kb/s.

    • samtheexpert on 06/01/2011 - 13:59

      I use 20mins and that's about 15MB.
      So 45MB/hour . If you use it 3-4 hour a day, that's around 150MB

      • covert on 06/01/2011 - 19:43

        See my post above yours. It is dependent on what the bit-rate of the station you are listening to is at. You cannot just slap a figure on it.

  • poor_me on 06/01/2011 - 11:01

    I just got it…works great

    I don't think it'd be too bandwidth intensive…the quality is more AM-like …although I'm using wifi so I'm not bothered as much.

    I'm in Sydney and listening to Hot Tomato FM makes me feel like I'm interstate :)

    Almost as good as digital radio?

  • 2enjoy on 06/01/2011 - 11:29

    was gonna post this.. but was a bit busy.. good job! :) its pretty good as a local radio app..

    Just had a quick test…it will be around 20MB per hour.

  • timmye on 06/01/2011 - 11:46

    why is this better than tune in radio?

    • 2enjoy on 06/01/2011 - 11:59

      its not overall.. but better as a local radio app

    • llama on 06/01/2011 - 15:09

      Only because, unlike the clones, an iPhone doesn't have an radio in it.

  • ProudLion1991 on 06/01/2011 - 11:50

    i can't seem to get triple j working, is that just me or is everybody else battling as well?

    • 2enjoy on 06/01/2011 - 12:01

      not working for me either.. but even worse.. theres no MIX 106.5.. cant get my "love song dedimications" :)

    • llama on 06/01/2011 - 15:05

      I am listening to Triple J right now over 3G from North Sydney. It's under "ABC Triple J"

      Cutting in and out a bit, with buffering set to "Medium".

      Was listing to 2GB while driving in the car and it worked flawlessly. But the 2GB stream I was listening to at that time might have been choked back to a low mono bitrate?

  • Damo on 06/01/2011 - 12:05

    beautiful!!

  • Ultraman on 06/01/2011 - 12:20

    Looks like only AM radio stations are working? Can get ABC Melbourne & 3MP, but not Fox, Mix, or Nova..

    • stebie on 07/01/2011 - 10:12

      Nova 100, Gold 104 and Kiss FM have worked for me each time I tried. The only listed one I've tried so far that has failed is Triple J (although I've not tried many).

  • itsmeyd on 06/01/2011 - 12:36

    No triple J!
    Why can't I get sky sports racing? 1017 Sydney I would like to listen to the big sports breakfast!!

  • siuol on 06/01/2011 - 15:12

    There is a request station option in the app.

  • llama on 06/01/2011 - 15:12

    HEY - re: Triple J…

    We just found that the WiFi in our office was down. Rebooted the router and suddenly JJJ wouldn't connect! Turned off WiFi and went back to 3G, and it connects and plays.

    OK, so then I connected via 3G then turned on WiFi and JJJ kept playing. But if I change to another station then back to JJJ (while on WiFi) then JJJ won't connect again WTF?????

    My phone is on Telstra Business. The WiFi is on Telstra ADSL (IP resolves to TELSTRAINTERNET47-AU)

    Classic Rock 95.3 is the only station you should be listening to.
