Can anyone recommend an Android app for listening to live radio over the internet? Since radio 4 longwave isn't worth a shirt round here I thought I might be able to listen online.

Can you not use BBC iplayer and listen live?

Internet radio on a phone, thats going to be a heavy usage of your data allowance.

For radio 4 online, just use iplayer in your choice of web browser, and make sure you are on a wifi connection.

As it turns out, TuneIn Radio works just great. I have a 1GB data allowance and the 3G watchdog keeping an eye on it!

The iplayer doesn't seem to have a listen live option for Radio 5 Live Sports Extra. And if I want to listen at home, the wifi connection works great too.

So what handset do you have?

TuneIn Radio

For my two pence worth, I use 'RadioTime'. It's not free (A whole £1.22) from the market but it seems to find a lot more stations than TuneIn and also seems to buffer better and at a consistantly very high quality.
