[Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Following the closure of the Nokia Internet Radio service, I decided to finish my internet radio player. I originally planned to include recording features, but I don't have time to complete those right now.

cuteRadio is a user-friendly internet radio player.

Features include:

• Around 30,000 stations included. Stations can be edited, and additional stations can be added manually.
• Search stations and browse by genre, country and language.
• Access recently played stations.
• Add stations to your favourites.
• Sleep timer.

The Harmattan version is available from OpenRepos.net. The Symbian version can be downloaded from My website.

cuteRadio is licensed under version 3 of the GPL. The source code can be found at GitHub.

Wow 30,000 the list seems to be comprehensive hope i find my channels. :)

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Screenshots look amazing!!! Thank you Marxian. I can't wait to install and try it out, downloading right now. I love the sleep timer feature - beats Nokia IP Radio ;)

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

I'm gonna grab that now and give it a go, you sir are just amazing :D :cool:

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Marxian always releases good apps ;) This is no different

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Thank you for this wonderful release marxian, you are a saviour!
although i use 808 and n900 so will wait for those versions to release.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

@marxian
Thank you very much!

While waiting for the Maemo version, please consider some kind of integration with OMP for example allowing to save preferred stations into the same list.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Sleep timer is nifty, but alarmclockradio would be awesome.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

This is one of those reasons why I love this community.


Thank you!!!

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Thanks a lot, Marxian!

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Any change I could write with utmost respect and care: Is there hope for Sailfish version?

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Great app!
Works so much smoother than store app.
Thanks!

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Thank you Marxian for keeping Nokia's promise to support Symbian till 2016.
But will the Symbian version be available outside the Nokia store?
Microsoft has adjusted the usage policy and I feel not encouraged to log in and transfer even more user data to them as they may close the Nokia store soon after and run off with their harvest.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

I don't have OMP installed, but I imagine it uses MAFW for managing the internet radio stations. I'll have a look at it. :) It probably won't be in the first release.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

That's quite easy to implement, at least in Harmattan and Maemo5 (I don't know anything about scheduling in Symbian). I'll try to include it the next release. :)

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

I don't have a Jolla device, and the emulator is a bit slow on my relatively old desktop hardware (plus I only have 2GB RAM, so my swap partition gets hammered).

The source is on GitHub, so anyone that is interested can do it. :)

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

The Symbian version will be available outside Nokia Store. :) In fact, the one place it won't be available is Nokia Store, as they stopped accepting new applications and updates as of 01/01/2014.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Great app, thanks! So your program use the same source for the radio stations list as Nokia and this source is free? I wonder why Nokia shut off the server, probably it costs 50 euro per year or less. Really embarrassing for Nokia. One question - which format use the app for the favorite stations? Can I place my one *.m3u or *.pls file as favorite station list somewhere?

Thank you very much for this awesome release.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

cuteRadio uses its own local station database. Currently, there is no way to import stations from other sources, but you can add them to the database manually (press the '+' toolbutton).

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Thanks for keeping Nokia's promise to support Symbian (till 2016), Marxian.

There is this application store http://applist.schumi1331.de/

Is that any good?

Your previous applications I have purchased through Nokia. What about this one? Is it free or donationware?

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

I will probably use AppList. I have previously been in contact with the maintainer about adding my software there. Otherwise, I will host the package on my own website and use the same update procedure as for cuteTube and MusiKloud.

Thanks for purchasing. :) cuteRadio is free.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

I would strongly recommend AppList for the Symbian version. I use it on my 808 and it's really good.

I would happily purchase cuteRadio from AppList for my 808! It is very well worth it. Can't thanks Marxian enough for his efforts :)

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

It is glad that my old 808 get your love but at the same time it is upset that my new jolla doesn't get any love from you, cuteradio, cutetube and musikloud.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Marxian, you are so cute!. You just saved my 20 km run tonight!

Thx. Is it impossible to get this to the store
?

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Wow, too nice to be real :D

About radio streaming:
Something that always troubled me with the Symbian Nokia Internet
Radio was that it would drop connection on international stations where the N900 wasn't affected (ADSL in Vietnam)

A so called dedicated Airstream 10 internet Radio suffered the same issue as Nokia Internet radio.

Could you look into making the buffering as robust as the N900 media player internet radio? Or maybe a configurable buffer?

Again, thanks in advance.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Yes. Nokia Store no longer accepts new applications or updates. The Nokia Store QA staff may now be:

• Sitting on a beach.
• Sleeping in old cars and eating Soylent Green.
• Testing Asha/Nokia X applications.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Hahahaha, you made my day!!! I'm just imagining them relaxing on the beach!!!! :cool: Testing Lumia stuff as well!!!!
Regarding Android, i'm waiting for an High -end device, but the X or the XL (i don't know what) seems to be quite good!!!!

PS: What is Soylent green?? :confused: :D

Edit: I'm waiting for the maemo version of the app. Thanks a lot!!!

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

I'm using the Phonon APIs for playback (QtMultimediaKit APIs don't retrieve the ICY metadata). Phonon doesn't have a configurable buffer size, unfortunately. To implement that, I need to use my own IO device and pass it to the player. I have already done some work on that (required for the recording features), but the problem is that I also need to implement the MMS protocol (which many stations use).

It's peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepoooolll! :eek: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zAFA-hamZ0

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Cutetube, Musikloud, CuteRadio possible in Jolla?
I missed them all...

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Thank you, marxian!

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Although I don't use my N900 and my N9 anymore, I would like to thank you for all your work that made my N9/N900 awesome!!

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Maybe. I have many projects, and not enough time. :(

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

u got Jolla already or not??

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Marxian deserves a rental phone from jolla. Maybe jolla can send him one

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Hi! And when the version for Symbian will be packed and where it will be? Really looking forward to this app!

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

No, I don't have a device yet. Now is not really a good time to be spending 350 euros on something I don't need.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

It should be ready this weekend. :) I will probably make it available on AppList (I don't know if there is any delay between submitting the package and approval). It will also be available via my website.

Re: [Announce] cuteRadio - A user-friendly internet radio player
 

Tried it and loved it! Thanks
