radiobee RadioBee let me know that they have released a new beta of their streaming radio application for BlackBerry. RadioBee simply lets you listen to MP3 broadcast online radio streams from your BlackBerry using their application. It can search and play more than 70,000 live radio stations including Shoutcast and Icecast servers. They claim that it works with most OS 4.3+ BlackBerrys but I have not had a chance to try it out.

It definitely seems to be worth a try though I personally use the free Moodio.fm service that lets you stream radio without a 3rd party application.

    User interface doesn’t scale to Storm screen res.
    Haven’t been able to get it to stay playing in the background.

    RadioBee vs. Moodio.fm:
    Moodio offers much more live radios
    RadioBee works over Wifi unlike Moodio.
    Radio over Wifi is a no brainer. RadioBee gets my vote for now.

    Requires the TCP APN connection to be setup,so expect this to be cost, depending your data plan.So you will be a bit stuck if you don’t have a wifi device. The interface needs some serious overhauling if it wants to compete in the app space, the imagery has bad cropping and looks a little pixelated on my curve.While playing don’t expect the app or device in general to be responsive and when it does and you need the menu, the menu does this little flash jive, needs some cleanup there. – 8310/4.5.0.102

    Are you kiddin me? moodio and radiobee both have major problems! Neither will work on my 8830 4.5OS. radiobee buffers every 3 seconds and wont even begin to play a full song. And while I can at least hear something on radiobee,(but cant change the volume)even though its more chopped up then a cheap cut steak at a late night diner…its better then moodio which does absolutely nothing when i pull up the mobile site…literally nothing! I try to click to open and it does nothing at all. Yes I have setup an account and went to the website…which is all Belgium…but still I get no response from moodio…thus…putting me in a bad moodio!!
    I will stick with slacker.

    It works on my 8830 4.5.0.101 without stuttering or requiring TCP APN settings, and the volume works via the up/down buttons on the side. Like on my 9530, stops playing when not the foreground app. Screens work better on 8830 than 9530 for sure. A background app (such as EveryHour) that makes a sound seems to kill its audio though.
