This is awesome. I tuned into an old Kingston rock stations for a bit of college nostalgia. Of course they'd be playing The Tragically Hip right then.

#72Fantastic app! (But I'm keeping my short wave radio anyway). Can't help but notice vast areas of radio deserts. I presume there are at least radio broadcasts there, but they don't stream? What is the meaning of the size of the dots? I was guessing it's related to transmit power?

It's most likely missing data in the radio directory they are using - I know of 5+ streaming channels in 2 African countries, yet both countries are totally blank.

#73Here seems to be the stations in JSON format in case anyone wanted to extract them. There are about 12,000 but some of the stations at the end don't have a source. http://rgapi-60c3.kxcdn.com/live.json?b=89eae48362c03fe07fcc

#76Developer here. We weren't exactly expecting this to become as popular as it did.. Just survived being #1 on Reddit – sheesh. It seems our non-profit Bing maps key was revoked.. Switched to Arcgis imagery instead for now. Too bad, the Bing imagery was really great.
It would be nice to have a search box option

#78If you are into amateur radio, this [1] does something similar, allowing you to tune into amateur bands across the world in real time. [1] http://websdr.org/
And it lets you listen to real radio, not streams, which will improve coverage outside of the US and Europe (found two streaming stations in Japan, neither of which work, and about a dozen in all of India)

#79IE can't handle it. And Chrome doesn't play audio for me. Any ideas why Chrome would not play audio?

#80Truly awesome experience. A mobile app like this would make it even better.
