QRadio is an FM Radio application written in C++/Qt.
It uses the QtMobility/Multimedia library and has a "digital" look.

Actually on Extras-Devel (0.4.1 version).

Features:
  • 3 sets of favourite stations that can be swapped on the go.
  • 4 quickaccess buttons (1)
  • reads RDS metadata (station name & station program).
  • freq manual input option.
  • shows signal strenght.
  • scan up and down fuctions. (2)
  • fullscreen mode.
  • sets can be renamed.
  • stations list can be sorted and managed easily. (9)
  • font can be changed. (4)
  • 4 new fonts included in the package. (5)
  • can output to speakers. (7)
  • 87.5-108.0 freq range available. (8)

Requested features:
  • Wider freq range: not possible, or solution not in my knowledge.
  • Changing freq with a slider: rejected

Current bugs:
  • Radio suddenly stops working: this is not something depending on the code itself and currently I have found no way to fix it. Restarting radio app works to getIf you have Autodisconnect disabling bluetooth, change it since bluetooth and fm receiver are on the same hardware chip and disabling one disable both. audio back.
  • Sound not playing while on silent mode: standard behavior from Maemo
  • Sound stutters when switching apps or locking/unlocking device: Maemo standard behavior, app is not treated like a system app and doesn't get an high priority
