If you listen to regular radio you might want to check this out. The app was updated this weekend and adds two of the most requested features by users of the initial app: station schedules and on-demand access to past shows. It also allows you to stream from any radio station throughout the US so you can hit just about any show you want. After checking out their <a href="http://www.publicradioplayer.org/" target="_blank">website</a>, it sounds like they did a major revamping of the original program to improve it based on users reviews. Come to think of it, I may have to check this one out. <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewArtist?id=312880534" target="_blank">Free</a> is a very good price, especially with all this functionality.</p><p> </p>
