Anybody else download this? One of the main reasons I was excited to get the iphone was the ability to have the WFMU streamat my fingertips at all times! This App makes it a little easier than going through the web browser AND it's got an accu-playlist (or however they refer to it) constantly refreshing! It's a great little thing! I look forward to updated versions down the line with new bells and whistles!
-
It's a bit superfluous coming after the Public Radio 2.0 app but still nicely done.

I had no idea about that Public Radio App. I'm pretty much an App-dummy.

Bells and whistles superfluous?
Ahhhhh
Never mind.
-
I got it and moved the icon it up to the front page!
Much easier to tune into FMU than the shoutcast app (does anyone recommend a good internet radio app that doesn't drop streams all the time, I mean for non-public stations, which already exists?)
-
I really enjoy the synth app. I get to pretend I'm kraftwerk.
-
Have you played with the theremin app Thereminator? Stupid name but it's fun. I use it and pretend I'm Bernard Herrman scoring "The Day the Earth Stood Still".

ive got a tmobile mytouch so i miss out on all the cool iphone apps. im still trying to find normal apps on this thing that arent a waste of my time.

Awesome you are the second person to recommend this to me. I'm taking the plunge.

Ooh, that looks awesome- a lot of the cool apps can't work with my first gen ipod touch. I might actually buy that!

Is that anything like a thermidor?

Speaking of music apps, the Brian Eno created "Bloom (http://gizmodo.com/5061004/brian-enos-bloom-raises-the-bar-for-musical-iphone-apps)" is a fun addicting ambient music generator. Sounds great through good headphones and speakers.

Yeah its worth spending a little money on. I have really enjoyed it.
-
The new version was released today and it's REALLY good (from what I can tell in the first 5 minutes of playing with it). On-Demand Archives, too.

Any android users? What's the best way to listen to WFMU on an android device?
-
Awesome! Downloading the update now.
-
The new WFMU app is AMAZING! Holy moly. The features are insane: archives, podcasts, the new WFMU streams, pretty design, bookmarking songs live, pausability, random access, WFMU's twitter and blog feeds, station schedule, background images for shows. Just clicking around I saw that Ken Freedman's show (among others) has a playlist. On the playlist you can click straight to any song. Amazing! They thought of everything.
-
Yes. Yes. I am in love.
My favorite app just for entertainment purposes is the I Am T-Pain app that auto-tunes whatever you record.
I recommend sitting in a studio next to someone who's recording vocals for a "real" album and record just them singing without them knowing it. Play it back for them T-Pain stylee afterward. Laughter and merriment ensues.
-
I got an iPhone on Sunday because I knew this was coming out.... just kidding, but it's another great iPhone app. Does anybody know if they are planning to expand the archives to include everything from the past?
-
I really want an iPhone now. Thinking about buying one instead of pledging!
-
Past archives are mostly in rm still for some reason.
This app is ace. Think they'll do a version for Motorola StarTac?

Android has a free version of StreamFurious. It's okay. But like WFMU's previous app, you can't fast forward in an archive--or at least I haven't figured out how to--so if you lose a signal while driving you have to start from the beginning again.

From WFMU's blog:
Last but not least: an Android version of this app is almost ready and should be hitting the marketplace real soon.

In light of this new information...StreamFurious stinks! Don't bother.
Thanks for the update, Martin. My happiness index for the day just increased 77%.
-
That's great to know. I just hope it's Android 1.5 compatible. I've tried Streamfurious and found it to be useless.

WFMU Android app:

Loving the WFMU app on my ipod touch.
-
HA I just got a Droid at the beginning of the week and was looking for a WFMU app. Now I have it. I made a horrible screeching noise of happiness.
-
The new version of the iPod app is just too good for them to give away. I have paid for apps that pale in comparison.
WFMU should be charging at least a buck for this great thing.

I just got this and it's AWESOME. Totally worth buying. Has anyone tried the follow-up Trope? Is it worth getting as well?
-
WAH I want an android!
-
Bloom is cool, Trope is less cool but still cool.
The thing with these novelty-type apps though is that you pay for them and then never use them again. I bought the Buddha Machine and all that junk.
The "Oblique Strategies" app is totally worth it, though.

In some weird sense I'm actually grateful that us non-US people so far only have access to the free part of the Android Market. There's plenty of great apps there.

I don't think the Oblique Strategies app is available anymore. I looked for it but didn't see it.

Yeah, you're right:

That's kind of a drag. I hope it means there will be an official version or something.
