A couple of apps turn your iPhone/iPod touch/iPad into a web radio. I’ve been using last.fm a lot, but the available music has recently become less exiting, in my opinion. I now have discovered the Jazz.FM91 app at the App Store, which immedieately became my new favourite! Jazz.FM91 is a Jazz radio station from Canada, which is available worldwide via the internet. With the new iPhone app, you not only can enjoy their radio shows via live stream, they also offer Podcasts, additional web radio streams (“singers” or “contemporary Jazz“), a feature to listen their shows while using other apps (“background”), direct links to their website, program schedule, twitter, webblog, etc …
Five stars from me!
