I have the paid version of TuneIn Radio, and lately it has been going on the fritz and losing the connection, saying Stream Has Ended, and mostly giving me the error Internal Decoding Error. Sometimes a reboot works and sometimes it doesn't. I like to listen to talk radio that isn't NPR, and TuneIn is the only app that I have found for my droid that does this well....or at least use to. Does anyone have any good radio app recommendations for a droid?

As far as "talk" radio I get podcasts using google's "listen" app and I like it pretty well.

As far as music radio goes, I love slacker radio. I can create my own "stations" or use premade ones (which are actually really good). I can then have each station (15 stations per device) cache (download) like 150 songs to my phone. I can set them to update (delete stuff I've already heard and download new stuff) either automatically or manually.

I don't know how much talk radio slacker has though and if you do get it, I would suggest only getting a plus, not a premium subscription. The plus you can cache to multiple devices (each with their own 15 station cache) but the premium you can only put on one device (although with premium you get more selection as far as specific songs). Also plus is much cheaper.

I've tried those programs but still can't get the line up I want. I really needs to be something that will just stream any internet radio. Thanks for the advice though. Reps to you both.
