I love techno/electronic music and one of the best things I've found is di.fm. I don't know of an app for it but you could go to the site, select the station, and then it should stream it. They have every electronic genre you could imagine. Techno, dubstep, happy hardcore, trance, gabber, house, goa, electronica, hard dance, etc. You get the idea. lol. Also slacker has a pretty good selection when you select the electronic genre. There ya go!
Meridian also isn't a bad radio app.
It's hard to say how much data is used by streaming radio, to be honest. I'll give you an example though. My collegue has a 6gb data plan and he streams radio everywhere (in his car, at work, during lunch, etc.) and does some moderate to heavy browsing and downloads, he uses around 3gb of data... So it's up to you. Best way to test it is if you have a data monitoring app or if you look at your monthly usage through your provider.
3G watchdog is quite good for monitoring it, gives you daily as well as monthly data usages so you should be able to see how much you've used. Oh and I use Xiialive, a Shoutcast client with big buttons (easy to press from the bath without getting the phone too wet!) but to be honest I only really use it on wi-fi.

I have been hooked on using streamfurious to listen to rinse.fm and sub.fm I download the .pls file from a browser and and open it in streamfurious.
Here's another thread about using the program. Too n00b to link outside links.

i'm using xiialive to play shoutcast radio stations. it's alright i guess...

Go to frenchkiss fm using internet explorer and click on the winamp symbol (its the icon which looks like a yellow lightening bolt, just before the iphone icon on the right of the page) now as long as you have coreplayer, you can listen to some bangin tuneage, been a massive fan for years. May work with other players you have on the Leo, but only have core will try other sites, will try to provide a core link dedicated to it if i can
Try shoutcast radio as well for more choice, and once clicked a radio station choose to use own media player. dont know what usage of your data service plan this wiil use up, so use wisely and will try to find out, could be minimal or excessive so be WARNED
do you mean frenchkissfm.com ? the frenchkiss.fm url doesn't work.
Yeah sorry ignore the . between frenchkissfm, and now found out kinoma freeplay gives you access to the shoutcast radio stations, as far as i can tell all of them, sweet
wunder radio
Just get this from market place. It's quality, and has loads of good house/trance stations. ibiza global radio is my personal favourite.

Im looking for a uk radio station streaming app ie: galaxy radio1 kiss etc.just got my desire and new to android.
The FM radio App has them on there! Why don't you use it?
He might not be able to get those stations on FM where he lives!
I can understand it. I like to listen to Capital to keep up on what is going on up in London, but obviously it's not transmitted outside London....
I know Resco do something for WM, but i don;t know about for android...there doesn't seem to be anything obvious in a quick search of the market....
ive found an app for galaxy fm but not a working version for all BBC radio channels etc. hopefully we can get one on android soon like Tunin on iphone
have you tried listening to the BBC channels using beebplayer? i'm sure i saw something about radio in there.... it's only likely to be the major stations and not the local/regional ones though.

thats the way to go, don't know if it'll work but go to your preferred bbc radio station site n hit the "listen live" feature
radio 1: bbc.co.uk/radio1
radio 2: bbc.co.uk/radio2
etc.
if the listen live function doesn't work, just get the url address when you use the "listen live" and enter that in coz they play through the iPlayer
ive tried the bbc website no joy, tried the beeb player the radio stations are not working, as for the copy the url into iplayer im not sure where.

FM radio will not work without external headphones or speakers. I like to use the built in speaker sometime.
Tried Xfm. Not bad but shame there's no BBC.
If you want a custom radio app with your favourite artists, I recommend Last FM application, it works pretty well on my Desire!
You'll need to sign up to Last.fm (free) and add your favourite artists to your library, works a bit like Pandora which is now defunct out of the USA

Yea this is the best android app for streaming UK radio stations.
Guys, the official Spotify app for WM 6.x is OUT!!!
http://www.spotify.com/int/blog/archives/2010/10/04/windows-phone/
This put a smile on my face. Glad to see that some of these developers still care about WM 6.x users.
ahh, requires premium, shame.
looking at all the different mobile apps they all need the premium service
Why is Spotify not available in my country?
Click here to find out why…
Germany gotta wait...
This was all I was waiting for... Spotify now have one more Premium subscriber.
One problem with the app for me though... every time a new track starts, the volume gets reset to the lowest setting. Is anybody else getting this? I'm on a fairly new EnergyROM... can't remember exactly which.

I have the same problem. I suggest you report it at: http://getsatisfaction.com/spotify/problems/recent

FREE streaming internet music. You can listen to preset stations or create your own by simply entering a band or song you like.
if I am not mistaken, slacker and pandora work only in the States though.

Another Premium member here now however my main issues is that I cant get it to play over ad2p to my head unit. Windows media player is the only mp3 player that will from what I can tell. Very annoying.
I get Spotify to play perfectly fine with A2DP. However, the AVRCP part doesn't seem to work. I'm using an HTC HD2 with at Nokia BH-503 headset.
I'm trying to find an app to listen streaming music.
have a couple of app's but none of them work.
for example
URL:http://u12b.di.fm:80/di_vocaltrance (which should be working with WinAmp)
but it's not working
or this one
http://u12b.di.fm:80/di_vocaltrance
should be working with win media player.
SO what APP do you use to listen streaming music/radio??
Thanx.
Audiogalaxy is def my favorite if my computer is on at home. Instant access to over 400gb of music to stream over 3g or wifi flawlessly.
and google music if it is not - I have 15000 songs uploaded so far.
Tune in radio app for radio and streaming sites like gdradio.net
Also the Livephish app - so good. If I have to explain you wouldn't understand ;O)
Vibe vault to stream 1000's of live shows from the Live Music Archive at archive.org
Those are my main go to streaming apps.
Jazz Radio for me

Thanx Man !!!
we use Pandora and i heart radio apps.not to mention our extensive music collection we have bought over many years .Its all on google music. google music will sync everything you have on your desktop or laptop to the google cloud and you Can stream to your phone or tablet .. This is your own music and play list without taking up space on the phone. But you can select some of it or all of it to sync to your phone for off line.. Or tablet.
I just get a new huawei phone with a built in digital FM Tuner I seem to be using that alot.
There are alot of music stream apps we have tried and always go back to Pandora .Its great because its on the computers our tvs and the Car radio and Cell phone/my Tablet of course.
Thank you all.
Finally i've found app that will play my stations:
XiiaLive Lite - Online Radio
Works pretty good.
I, like most people, have a large music collection which goes beyond the onboard memory of a nexus 4.
It's clear that google is trying to push people into using their cloud services which is fine, as long as it works. Now I live in the UK and in my experience 3G coverage is good, and i'm lucky to be on the unlimited Three network which offers very generous data speeds.
Does anyone here rely on the play music service and does it do a good job? Do songs load up fast? Is it going to turn listening to music into a very battery intensive experience?
cheers guys
Nick
After you upload your music to the cloud, streaming is relatively painless. I'm on T-Mobile HSPA+ and its pretty much instantaneous. I'd still prefer a UI like Winamp, but I can deal with Google Music's. Also regarding battery life, of course it would take a hit as you're streaming mobile data, it seems to drain the same amount of battery as when i use Spotify on my S3. As for the N4, who knows
I'm curious about this. Wouldn't you need unlimited data for Google music?

I'm in the UK too and I use Spotify for all my needs. You can combine your music collection with theirs, and easily change which albums are synced from your desktop/laptop to the pc for offline use. All of the Spotify music collection is also available for streaming use.

Unlimited data would be great for it but not entirely necessary. I had high quality streaming on for about 2 weeks and used up just over 3 gb of data, and I'd say I did a fair bit of listening, probably at least an hour a day if not more. I'm trying turning off the high quality streaming now as I only have 6 gb of data, so far it seems to use a little less. Streaming is seamless though, even when I have only 1 or 2 bars of signal. it may take about 5 seconds or so for the song to start playing if you skip a couple songs (if you let it play the next planned song it usually does'nt take time to load as it already starts buffering before the previous song is finished).
Not for me. For some reason I ALWAYS get the wrong album art. It's always the same album cover for almost every mp3. It drives me nuts. After checking Google's bug pages, it's been a known problem for months, but no ones looked at it. Annoying.
Itunes Match has been absolutely perfect for me since day 1.

I have unlimited data so I'm a heavy Google Music user, I haven't had any issues with album art. Also if I know I'm gonna be in an area where service is terrible I just cache a playlist.

Delete your app data. That usually clears up the album art issue.
3G ain't fast enough in the UK to stream music. And that's before we even get onto the data caps...
I might have to up my data and finally do this.
If your data plan allows it (as in, you have unlimited) then Google Music is a great replacement for onboard storage. Even without an unlimited plan it makes it much easier to swap out albums on-the-fly when you're connected to WiFi.
My brother and I use Play Music more and more. On AT&T LTE I can stream music in high quality without any trouble. I got the 8GB Nexus so I am going to try to use it more and more.

You know you can correct that using the website right?
Google Music has been painless for me with the exception of the missing artwork and some tags not transferring.
Spent about 20 minutes on the website fixing it all and now all 18,000 songs are at my disposal regardless of device or local storage space.
Now if Google could do this with personal videos (no not broadcast to the world like YouTube.)
I just uploaded like 200+ songs to my Google Music storage. If anything, it is really convenient Although the 200+ songs I uploaded were .flac, and if I read right, all .flac audio higher then 320kbps, will be re-encoded to that. Can't say I hear a difference in sound quality at all though...
Songs will store on your device's storage as "cache" as you play them (depending on cache settings anyway). If you don't have unlimited data, you could possibly just let songs cache to your device via WiFi.

This is exactly what I've been doing since I got the Galaxy Nexus. I had a bunch of music on an sdcard prior to getting the nexus so instead of dragging and dropping everything from my SDCard to my Galaxy Nexus every time I would flash another rom or get a new phone, I'd cache the music from Google Music. This is what I plan on doing with the Nexus 4. Haven't had a problem since using it full time a year ago.
Google Music works really well. It caches the most played songs and tends to cycle songs as you play them. I my current cache is 2 GB and I have uploaded hundreds of songs. I don't think it hits battery that much as Web browsing tends to be more of a drain due to the screen and processing the page. Here we are just retrieving a music file to play. I have the 2.0GB on tmobile and on the first month I got close to the cap but every month after that I was fine. You should cache some albums or artists over wifi if you are sure you will listen to them.
You could essentially have your entire collection on hand without the need for actual space. It's not like you will listen to everything that you will need it on your device but that you will eventually listen to it and that's where Google Music shines.
Also you will be able to log in on any computer and have your music collection ready to play.

Definite yes. The music manager on the PC seemlessly monitors your music folder and will upload any new files when added to the folder. Source of these files doesn't matter, legal or otherwise. The App experience on the phone itself gets the job done. You aren't going to find as many options for sound processing as you would from say Poweramp, but the convenience of cloud based music outweighs the features you give up. The play music app will mature with time as well, it gets better every update.

Indeed. If you are planning on uploading music though, I might suggest properly tagging it with correct Artist, Album, and Naming, just so it looks good (and I think Google can grab song art based on those values)
I like it. It's worked perfectly for me. If you know you have a few tracks you like to hear often.. Click make available offline for the times you don't have reception. Seem less for me

I hate the Google Music app. The uploader also sucks, very very slow and you have to use a crappy website to manage things.
I could deal with the crappy uploader if we could use the library with other apps but for some reason Google wont make it open source. The Google Music app just sucks, unpolished hard to use UI and makes a mess of ID3 tags. Its one of those half assed Google projects that they started but wont finish.
If you dont care much about the player or dont know what youre missing since you havent used better then its a good option, but if you need a really simple and easy to use player because you only use it while doing other things and dont have time to deal with bad UI design then its not an option.
