Thanks to Tunein, I was riding my bike to work, and listening to the World Series on my Iphone. What a great app. Finally I can listen to decent radio. Japanese radio sucks! All talk and no music.

I used this for while and it is very good.Personally i enjoy listening to American and British talking shows. Sometimes i listen to show from place i have visited. It is very interesting and educational for learning about the other country and how the people feel.

CLOCKFREE is great radio from around the world. Why pay for an app?

Restricted by the Broadcaster ! how many times have you come across that and have to download another app to get access to the content. It's Good but not Great but it is something to keep you occupied while you are cursing the fone or talking to yourself about the inconvenience of modern day gadgets ripping another dollar out of your pocket

TuneIn radio is also on my WD TV live hub, which also has Shoutcast. The tedious gasbags on the local radio station were turned off long ago.
Japanese radio stations are listed on TuneIn, but you have to live in their broadcast area to listen, which defeats the point of broadcasting over the internet.

Been using Tunein for some time now. Am quite fond of it. Just get a real kick out of listening to KDKB out of Phoenix while walking my dog in Tokyo.
