Anyone know of a good app that I can use on my android phone to listen to my radio feed stream. I need it to have a widget that displays the metadata from the stream if that is possible. I have one I am currently using but does not show the metadata in a widget. Does something like that exist?

Here are two that I use to listen to my private feeds.

Both will display metadata.

I use 'Scanner Radio' to listen to my Broadcastify feed.

Will display the metadata at the top of the screen when the app is not in view.

You can also use 'Scanner Radio' to listen to your private feed...there is an option to set up 'Custom Scanners' that will allow you to put in your local or private URL.

Thanks Andy. I never knew that was there.

I normally use 'Scanner Radio' only for my public feed.

There are times when I'm listening to four or five of my private feeds at the same time.
I use the other apps for them.

But, now I've programmed in one of my private feeds, as a Custom Feed, for those times that Broadcastify is down.

I am interested on how this is done. I looked in my "scanner radio pro" setup screen and don't see where this can be done. The only thing I see is the the import option and it isn't very clear to me how this works.

It's not at all intuitive! (almost like 'you can't get there from here' ;)

From the opening screen of ‘Scanner Radio’
Slide the screen to the right.
Then select:
Browse Directory
Custom Scanners
Hit the ‘+’ at the top
Then fill in a name and the URL

WOW, Thanks I would not have thought to look there.

Indeed, I had written it off as not supporting custom private feeds.
So far can't get it to connect to a proscan web server, but haven't fought with it too much yet.

By the way, if you do buy 'Scanner Radio Pro', do NOT uninstall the free version.

They're independent of each other.

You can keep both versions, and listen to a separate feed on each.
