We also recently added all the RoadRunner Radio stations. These stations are only available to RoadRunner subscribers, they cannot be played unless you are using a RoadRunner data connection. If you are a RoadRunner subscriber, you can find the RoadRunner stations by going to the search tab and entering "RR Radio" into the search window. That will show you all the RoadRunner Radio channels in Group order.

Also, if you looked for a particular station and did not find it, take a look again as it may have since been added.

If there are any stations you cannot find in Pocket Tunes, please contact support and let us know. We'd be happy to add them if they are available.

-Dave

Help us get the word out

We've heard from a lot of our customers about how they recommend Pocket Tunes Radio to their friends and family and we appreciate that immensely. In addition to recommending Pocket Tunes, there are a couple of other things you can do that will help us in the App store. We want to keep enhancing Pocket Tunes so the better we do in the App store, the more new features and enhancements we can add.

Here are a couple of things you can do:

#1: Vote up 5-star reviews on iTunes. Give a thumbs up to any 5 star reviews. The more thumbs up the higher they go on the list of reviews

#2: Write your own 5-star reviews on iTunes. Positive reviews in the iTunes App store always help us. So if you are enjoying Pocket Tunes and have a moment, please pop up a review in the store.

Multitasking, traffic and family peace

I love GPS apps. Specifically I really like MotionX GPS Drive. I paid for a year's voice guidance and it works great. But after this weekend I'm loving it even more with iOS4 and multitasking.

I should note that I send all the iPhone audio to the stereo through Bluetooth so if I listen to a radio station, it is through the iPhone most times rather than the AM or FM band.

Apple just approved our latest update, 5.5.4, of Pocket Tunes which adds multitasking. I've been using this release for a while now but this weekend showed me a new, cool use for it....keeping the peace....oh and getting my family through some crazy traffic.

It all starts with living in a city that is hosting a major world event and thus completely messing up us locals. I needed to get my wife to a train station which I'd never been to, without getting caught in 'rolling closures' and insane traffic jams that were going on around town.

I needed both MotionX to tell me where to go and my local News/Traffic station to tell me where not to go.

Solution? Easy! I put my local station on in Pocket Tunes and then fired up MotionX. Pocket Tunes kept playing in the background as MotionX launched. When the voice guidance spoke, Pocket Tunes muted down very low, when it was finished, Pocket Tunes came back up to regular volume.

So I had both voice directions and traffic updates at the same time, working together without an issue. And, I got my wife to the station on time, family peace maintained.

Check out Pocket Tunes 5.5.4 with full multitasking support and more, here: http://bit.ly/bcxO7n

- Dave, even more mobile than before

NEW Pocket Tunes Update 5.5.4, iOS4 support added, multitasking and more

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to let you know that Apple approved our update for iOS4 multitasking so get over to the App store and update to the latest version, 5.5.4, especially if you are using OS4.

The main feature of this update is the support for multitasking. So now any station you can play in Pocket Tunes, you can play in the background. Even subscription channels.

But there is more to that.

- Podcasts can be played in the background, even while the rest of the episode is downloading
- When Pocket Tunes is playing in the background, double press the home button, swipe left to right and you access the media control bar where you can pause/play Pocket Tunes without having to go to the App.
- When Pocket Tunes is playing and the phone is locked, double press the home button to bring up media controls and you can pause/play Pocket Tunes without unlocking the phone
- the last position played sport is remembered even if the podcast or recording is being played in the background.

So that is a few of the things that this update adds. We'll have more to add and tweak going forward.

Check out the new update at http://bit.ly/bcxO7n .

- Dave, NormSoft Inc.

And if you can't listen live, you can always listen (to a) PODCAST!

We have a bunch of World Cup podcasts to choose from and we added even more today! Here's a sample of some of the World Cup podcasts available in our catalog:

World Cup Daily
ESPNsoccernet World Cup Podcast
EPL Talk Soccer
Soccerlens.com >> Soccerlens Podcast
The Sound of Football Podcast
Alan Davies' Armchair World Cup
It'll Go To Penalties - The World Cup Podcast
Sports Bench - Football World Cup
FIFA World Cup Today
SI Soccer Podcast
5 live's World Football Phone-in
FIFA Soccer Blog
The Soccer Show
The Total Football Soccer Show
The Football FanCast
A Game of Two Halves » Podcast
SoccerGossip's Blog / Podcast
Sports Bench - Football World Cup 2010
The Football Ramble
TheGame - Times Online
World Cup Buzz 2010 (to access this podcast, go to this Knowledge Base article, http://www.normsoft.com/kb/idx/55/325/article/ , in the Pocket Tunes Web Browser and follow the steps in the article to add this podcast)

So that's a ample of some, yes some, of the World Cup podcasts in our catalog. Most can be found in the Browse Podcasts -> Sports & Recreation -> Professional group. You can enter a search term like "football" or "Soccer" and see podcasts with those keywords attached to them.

Some of the podcasts can also be found in the "Recently Added" section. But those will drop off the list as we add more podcasts.

Please contact support if you know of any Podcasts we are missing

The Beautiful Game...on Radio, Pocket Tunes Radio that is.

So it's finally FIFA World Cup 2010 time!!

Now we know most of you football/footie/soccer fans will be trying to catch the games on television. But there may be times you can't get to a TV or your colleagues might not appreciate the 52" Samsung that suddenly sprung up on your desk. So in the interest of convenience or say, stealth (much easier to stuff an earphone discreetly into your ear than explain why you have a TV on your desk) we created this list of stations that MAY carry some of the World Cup games. And also a few podcasts you might want to add to your subscription list.

We say MAY because though all of these stations have indicated they will be carrying various matches on the radio, some may not have the rights to stream them over the internet. Also, some stations may be country restricted so you may not be able to receive them in your country (unless of course the station resides in your country)

Here is what we know as of June 10, 2010. Please contact support if you know of any stations we are missing.

We'll list the country the station or radio group is from and the name of the station or group of stations.

Argentina -> Radio Nacional
Australia -> SBS (no internet stream located at this time)
Brazil -> Radio Bandeirantes
Denmark -> Nova FM
France -> Radio Monte Carlo (RMC)
Germany -> ARD (Let us know if you know which ARD station is streaming the games)
Ireland -> RTE
Italy -> RAI, RTL 102.5
Mexico -> Televisa (let us know if you know specific stations streaming the games)
Panama -> RPC
Portugal -> RTP
Sweden -> SR
United Kingdom -> BBC Radio 5 Live, talkSport

We have created a new Group in the iPhone called "World Cup". Update your catalog to see the new Group. As we find stations carrying games or even frequent updates, we'll add them to that group.

As the World Cup gets underway, we'll update this Blog with more information. Many of the stations do not really say if they will stream live games in audio over the net so it may take some detective work to find games. Feel free to tweet us at our Twitter feed @PocketTunes if you find a station playing a game.

Happy St. Patrick's day!! Some stations to keep things Irish today

We just wanted to give you a few stations to listen to if you want to get in the Irish mood today. All the stations listed below are in the catalogs of all our version of Pocket Tunes unless noted. Update your catalog (see links at the end) to make sure you have them all. All the listed stations are in the World group and some may be in other groups as well. On the iPhone/touch you can use the search feature to locate them as well.

Also, just a reminder that we have a St. Patrick's Day skin available for the iPhone. See our previous blog article for more information on the skin, http://bit.ly/cwEAcZ.

Some Irish stations to get a little green with:

All Irish Radio (more modern Irish oriented)
LiveIreland (taking requests from all over the world)
Celtic Music Radio (more Celtic oriented but still cool)
Green Mist Radio(more traditional Irish music oriented but modern tracks as well)
