Ok, so I'm testing the trial version of the BerryTunes 2.2 streaming radio app and I like it. I have an 8800 running on ATT's EDGE network in Northern CA and the streaming works amazingly well. There are plenty of music categories and stations to choose from. About 20 categories and maybe 100 preset stations. This app costs $20 and I think I'm gonna buy it. It also plays media but my bb media player will do this.
My problem is that it allows for custom radio stations but there is no help and I can't get my streaming stations to work. It only asks for url, so I'm not sure which url to enter. All I have tried have failed.
Anyone else have this app? What would the url be on a streaming music page?
Thanks,
DjB
Update:
Ok, so I tested it again for a good 20 min and I'm still convinced that this app is worth it. Again, the streaming worked PERFECT for 20 min. (literally perfect) on the preset stations. I was even impressed that I received an email during the stream with no interruption. I did have 4/5 service bars so I'm wondering if the streaming quality goes down with less service bars. I minimized the radio and opened several other apps and there were no problems, only thing is you have to have the berrytunes showing to use volume buttons. There are hifi and lofi versions of some stations but overall sound quality was decent.
One downside is that there are only a few hiphop stations. There are plenty of house/dance, rock, worldwide music which I am into so that is cool. Maybe I can add some hiphop stations once I figure that out.
Also, I was able to add one custom station. I found it here:
[Only registered and activated users can see links] ([Only registered and activated users can see links])
None of the other custom stations would load, except above. That site has a dozen or so stations but the streaming audio has flaws on these stations from my berry. There are gaps every 6-8 seconds. Maybe the bandwidth is too high?
