New Scanner/Radio app for the iPhone/iPod touch

[EdmontonFireRadio]

Here's another application that will let you listen to scanner feeds using your iPhone or iPod Touch. Here is the release that I received from the creator of the software.

The software creator is using the feeds from Scan America with permission from Gordon and plans on continuing to work with both Gordon and Lindsay during the transfer of the Scan America feeds to the new Radio Reference server.

Version 2.0.0 of the ooTunes Radio app for iPhone/iPod Touch is now available!!!
The free update will show up in the "updates" tab within the blue "App Store" app on your iPhone/iPod Touch. If you didn't buy it yet, Get it in iTunes!
So, what's in this update? Too much to list... it's a huge improvement to stability, usability, appearance and a ton of new features!

The built in list of streams is now over 7000, but if that's not enough, this version adds support for playback of the following (using the greatly improved built-in web browser):

• ScanAmerica
• RadioTime
• Seeqpod
• Icecast
• XM Radio
• Live365
• Reciva
• Shoutcast
• NOAA Weather
• Air Traffic Controllers
• Archive.org
• Any other site with links to a .pls, .m3u or .asx playlist or other linked audio

All these sites and the built in station list means you've got nearly infinite audio at your fingertips. The list of websites will be updated with new interesting sites, as we recieve your suggestions.

In fact, if something DOESN'T play with the browser's "play" button, use the "?!" button to email us the site and we'll make it work if we can!
Here's the list of current Radio Only features (some are new, some have been there all along).

• Search preset stations by genre, country, city/state, station name/call sign or frequency/band
• Automatically resume last station played on start-up (even after a phone call)
• Post what you hear and like on Twitter or Facebook
• Create and organize favorites with custom tags
• Listen to any of over 60,000 live concerts from Archive.org (over 6,500 Grateful Dead concerts alone!)
• View album art and lyrics, or find track more on Last.fm
• Listen to interesting tracks again by searching SeeqPod or YouTube
• Works well on the move (detects changes from wifi-3G-edge and automagically reconnects)
• Store and share your favorite stations
• View recently played and most played streams
• Shake to shuffle streams
• View cumulative listening time and historical data
• Easily report broken radio links for repair
• Purchase your favorite songs by choosing the lowest price through comparison of iTunes, Amazon and other music providers.
• Listen while using the built in web-browser to
  • Play your favorite web-based game
  • Check web-based email
  • Chat on web-based chat rooms
  • View current station's web page
  • Surf the internet
  • Tweet on Twitter

Nearly everything I added or fixed was a suggestion from you, the users, so again, thanks, and keep the feedback coming!
In the future, look for restarting tracks where they last left off, fast-forward and rewind within tracks, and then with iPhone OS 3.0, great enhancements to video playback!
As always...
TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK! I think this version is really solid, but there will still be improvements in the future.
If you like it, please TELL YOUR FRIENDS, leave a review in the App Store (or update it if you already left one and this fixes any issues), blog about it, tell your favorite radio stations to promote it!

Thanks for your support!
Steve

The creator of the software has added the ability to listen to Sirius Satellite Radio for those that have a subscription with them.

To add this to your software:


1 - Open ooTunes Radio

2 - While it's loading, tap anywhere on the screen several times. This should stop the app from starting to play your last station.

3 - Touch the i icon in the upper right corner. This should bring up your stats page.

4 - Go down to ooTunes Picked Websites and swipe it from left to right. Then touch delete. This will force the software to grab the latest list of websites from the server. While you are at it you may as well do the same thing for the all streams list. This way you have the latest copy of the ooTunes directory on your device.

5 - Touch save in the upper left corner

6 - Touch Radio Mode to go back in to the application.

7 - Touch websites to see the new list. All of the new ooTunes picked websites should be listed with Sirius Online toward the bottom of the list.

iPhone/iPod-Touch

On the iPhone/iPod-Touch discussion has anyone tried to listen to The Bravest(FDNY) boro channels on the App. and will it work or is there a problem? Does these devices have a browser or is that what the app does
for the listening?

Would appreciate more info and what they will and will not do.

Thank you,

Just got this app on my iPhone 5. Anyone know a way to select/change audio output (Bluetooth, speakerphone, handset, etc)?
