Streaming Music/Radio on The Blackberry: 2 New Finds

Jan 29, 2009

I love my Blackberry Bold 9000, but I've been very dissapointed with some of the available media players. Media/Streaming players like xPlayer and PocketStreamer have so far done nothing but dissapoint.

Today however I ran accross 2 players I didn't know existed before.

  1. FlyCast delivers music, talk, weather, and traffic to portable devices. Introduced in January 2008, the network has grown very rapidly from 80 channels to well over 1000 in a nine month period, and more channels are added weekly.

    I've listened to about an hours worth of talk radio and I would have to say I'm impressed. I'm often without a radio or the ability to stream audio onto my computer, so this should be a great little app to have while I work. I've tried several other radio streaming apps; all of them were horrible in comparison to my short experience with this product.
  2. Slacker Radio: I can't lie, when I found out that slacker radio had a mobile app that actualy worked on my Blackberry Bold I was almost gitty. The app is clean and easy to use, very professional. I listened to about 3 hours of my Latin & Reggaeton channel with my headphones and I was extremly impressed with the sound quality considering the type of hardware I was listening on.

    There is also a pay to play that will cut out commercials and give you unlimed skips, something I might invest in for the paultry 3.99 a month.
