   Mobile Phone App

If you are looking for the Mobile Phone application that works with all smart phones for you station, look no further.

NOTE: This is a HTML / PHP / JavaScript program that you embed into your radio station HTML website. It is NOT an APP that installs on a mobile phone. This makes it much more flexible, as all visitors can use any smart phone to listen to your radio station.

We are proud to release our latest product, the application that lets your listeners tune into your station on their phone:

  • Blackberry
  • iPhone
  • Android

No need to have them buy a special application on their phone just to tune in.  With this application, any of the above phones can hear your station with the same program.

Try it out on your cell phone (works on phone, not brower) - http://www.shoutcaststreaming.us/mobile.html

Here is what it looks like on an iPhone:

Since this is a little hard to see, here is a blow up of what they will see:

Questions & Answers:

Q: Will it work on all phones ?

A: It's been tested and works on all iPhone 3 and iPhone 4, Blackberry.  It works on about 95% of Android phones, depending on model.

BLACKBERRY can NOT play AAC or AAC+ streams, only MP3.


Q: How much is it ?

A: We charge $2 per month to use the application.  A small price to pay considering how much your listeners would have to pay to get a similar app on their phone.


Q: It doesn't work on my BLACKBERRY

A: If your stream is an AAC or AAC+ stream, BLACKBERRY phones can not play them.  If you switch to a regular mp3 stream, it will work.


Q: How long does it take to order.

A: It will take 24 - 48 hours for us to configure it to your station.  Please don't e-mail us and tell us it's an emergency and you need it in 10 minutes.  Good things take time.


Q: I don't use you as my Stream Host.  Can I still use it ?

A: Yes, we are making this available to ALL broadcasters no matter who you use as your Stream Host.  All we need is the IP address and Port # of your stream.  If you decide to get Stream Hosting with us later down the road, we will give you a discount.  But, no strings attached.  Use your own Host or use us.


Q: Will you put my Station Name on the player.

A: Yes, we will


Q: How is the sound quality ?

A: It will sound exactly the same as if they purchased an app from Apple (or Blackberry, or Android).


Q: Can I change the colors ?

A: Yes, you may select Blue, Yellow or Black when ordering.


Q: So what is my cost ?

A: If you we are your Stream Host, the cost is $ 2 per month.  If you use your own Stream Host, the cost is $2 per month plus a one-time set-up fee.


Q: What if I am unhappy with your application, as it doesn't work for my listeners. 

A: If you are not satisfied after 1 week of testing, we will refund your money.


Q: A link to your website appears on the bottom of the player.  I don't want that.

A: Sorry, all players come with that.  We are planning to let customers customize the player with their own logs, links, special colors.  As of now, it isn't ready yet.
