Do you get sick of listening to the same announcers over and over again? Do you like to listen football matches from a feed that does not originate from the United States because or preference or simply homesickness?
Well I have found the solution for you.
There are times when you cannot be in front of the computer or television set watching a match. It's a fact of life. As a married man, there are instances when football has to take a backseat to my family, but I do everything in my power to have the final word. Now I can do that with ooTunes. This iPhone app is an internet stream player that supports mp3, aac, wma, and even some flash streams. Version 2.0 of this app currently features over 7,000 streams worldwide. XM Satellite Radio subscribers can also use this app on on their iPhone.
This is the first iPhone app that I review that you have to pay for, but it probably is the best investment that a person can make. For US$3.99, a little more than a penny for the entire year, you have access to well over 7,000 streams from radio stations from all over the world. For virtually a penny a day you can use the radio mode. There you can have access to each radio station’s webpage, check e-mail and chat while your listening, create tags, set favorites and tweet what you’re listening to. It is a perfect way of interacting with your streams as well as sharing them with friends and family.
It is also a great opportunity to take advantage of not just music, but football. This is the reason why I am writing about this here.
