Basically I was looking for an app that scanned for free available frequencies around you. I want to use it in my car with my FM transmitter to find the best channel to tune the transmitter to. Is there anything out there like this ?
Thanks
Maybe there isn't

hy,
i am searching for a real fm radio app (no web radio) special for moto defy what support loudspeeker and no headphones (i know its the antenna but on some places it not needs a headphone antenna) and very important for me and i think not only for me is a recording function.
i am not a programmer, but i am wondering why there is no FM Radio app for Android around? is it so much harder as all the other apps around ? or is it more a problem of the different hardwares in the phones, but on the other hand also wifi, cam etc.. works on the different phones with "one" app.
i am shure many many users world wide will pay more as only 1$ for a fm radio app (me include).

See my sig for my FM Radio app, mostly working well on CM ROMs which also have the CM FM app.
Yes it IS much harder, because Google didn't define an FM Radio API, or develop a reference FM app.
So I've been stuck doing labor/time intensive reverse engineering of the TI and Broadcom FM chips. AND I need APIs I can call from my app to control the FM hardware. AND I need code to handle the audio routing issues which may be different from phone to phone.
Google (and Apple) may have some ad/music revenue issues that have stopped them from supporting FM. Rumors continue about Apple "monetizing" FM however.
Sony Ericsson is working on an API but it remains to be seen if it will become useful.

Interesting, thanks for the link.
So Tune-In will support recording on Android now...
But it's a streaming app of course, and limited to stations that are online, and where-ever (and how much $-ever) data services are available.
look at resco. They say they have such a app.

Do you mean a REAL FM app that works over airwaves without a data connection ?
I only did a quick google, but found this that seems to say they will NOT develop a real FM app due to the issues that are currently plaguing me. IE. different phones require different code.

Whats the best online radio app, preferably one that has the most channels/stations
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
i use A Online Radio. it has favourites, search function for shoutcast stations and has sleep timer that you can set up yourself. pretty nifty in my opinion.
For purely largest variety, I'd go with TuneIn Radio. It seems to be just a conglomeration of any and all streaming radio stations (including most terrestrial stations) the authors could find. It also allows you to switch between any available mirrors of a station (if they have a choice between high quality and low bandwidth, for example).
For the highest quality audio and best (but smaller) selection of (only?) music, I'd suggest CBS's Radio.com. If I wanted to listen to streaming music of a certain genre, that was always my favorite.
There's also Clear Channel's iHeartRadio. If you want to listen to a Clear Channel terrestrial station, this is probably where you'll have to look. The music selection is pretty nice too, but the audio quality isn't really on par with the others IMO. Additionally, they've been a bit dodgy about putting their app on the market, you may have to go to their site and sideload it.
I use tunein, can be a bit buggy but usually does the job. Loads of stations on it
I use Tunein too, it's still not as feature packed as the iOS version, like forwarding and rewinding, but as for just listening - it does the job excellently!

wunderadio. you can look for stations or program your own if you know the mms feed....
What does everyone recommend for internet radio apps? I had Pandora for a while, but it always seemed to get into a rut as far as what songs it would play, and it got predictable. I can't seem to find Slacker's app in the market anymore.
i listen to more local stuff with tune in radio pro (was free on amazon a while back) and i like it... pandora is a bit predictable, and you're limited to how many hours you can listen to for free.
+1 for tune in radio
I listen to this every morning at work on my phone since I cant stream on our work network. Stations from across the country, great variety, and the radio itself has a pretty slick interface.
Winamp rocks.

Hands down "Wunder Radio" it even picks up local radio stations by GPS!
It has a ton of radio stations from around the world.
Great selection
Tune In is incredible.
Another vote for Winamp

Winamp is really great for internet radio - it gives access to the huge Shoutcast network with just about anything you could want.
TuneIn Radio is excellent for local (and national and international) commercial radio stations. The difference between the free version and the retail version is that the retail version can record what you listen to. In America, all the stations owned by Clear Channel Radio are excluded from TuneIn Radio because they have their own app - "I Heart Radio." Last time I tried that app it was awful.

hi, I installed audials radio for my phone and use this app for the car. It has a lot of stations, give it a try it's free https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.audials
Hi, does anyone know if there Is there a radio app that will use the Samsung S10 plus built in FM radio, rather than having to use internet streaming apps.
I read that the s10 plus does receive FM signals but all the radio apps i keep downloading seem to be internet stream only.
Thanks
James.
