When working on your Mac you probably use iTunes to listen to your favorite radio station. How about on your iPhone? Well, get FStream (author Julien-Pierre Avérous) at the iTunes App Store and look no further. Actually, there is even a version for your Mac with much less overhead than iTunes.
FStream is a little webradio player which recognizes most popular audio formats (MP3, OGG/Vorbis, WMA, AAC, AAC+) and playlist formats. In both the Mac and iPhone (iPod Touch) versions it includes an extensive list of web radio stations. You can search for your favorite stations and double click to include them in the "Favorites" tab. That's all you need to do to get started. Of course, you can input the URL of other webstations not included in the list as well.
The Mac version includes a couple of nice features. It can be operated with the Apple Remote, it allows you to record the streamed music and there is an eye catchin fullscreen mode as well.
The iPhone version, in my brief experience, works only with wifi although according to the author 3G and Edge operation should be working as well. I have to test this further. Also, the app seems to be using quite a bit of juice, so keep the iPhone in the recharging dock whenever you can.
What is the cheapest way to get a new mac? You guessed it: get yourself a new keyboard. The other day Santa brought me the new anodized aluminum keyboard from Apple. The one which was introduced with the new iMac this fall.
