This application allows you to listen to your favorite internet radio stations even when you're offline (Internet connection required to record the stations at scheduled times).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ksatta.irop
Here's how it works:
- Add your favorite internet radio stations
- The app records them automatically at scheduled times
- You can listen to the recordings even without an internet connection
You can for example set the app to record the stations every night when you're at home and you have WiFi. Then during the day when you don't have an internet connection, or when the connection is too slow for internet radio, you can listen to the fresh recordings the app made. I personally use it in my car when I drive around, and there isn't always 3G coverage.
NOTE: I can't test this on all the Android devices out there, so if you have any problems please contact me from zRadio, phone's menu button / about/help (or send email from Google Play). If you only send me report via Android's own system, I won't be able to contact you to debug and fix the problem. My own bug reporting system also sends me better logs of what happened.
Features:
- Supports all formats supported by your phone. For example OGG is supported in Android 2.3+.
- The recordings are lossless (same quality as the station is sending). Only some lossless changes are done to some formats.
- Configurable recording start time and duration (global default and also settings for individual channels). You can also set a station to be recorded manually only.
- You can create multiple recording rules for stations and select weekdays (Pro only).
- The length of the recordings is only limited by your SDCard size, so you'll always have something to listen to when you're offline. (Recording length in Lite mode is 20 min / station).
- "Eyes-free" operation: Switch channel with the volume buttons (safer in car for example). (Phone's menu button / Settings / Playback / Vol. keys change channel).
- Many screen modes including "custom dimming" mode that dims the screen to totally black, and can be woken up by touch (Phone's menu button / Settings / Playback / Screen mode).
- Supports portrait and landscape orientations.
- You can configure the app to enable recording on 3G/Edge/etc, but disable recording on GPRS. (GPRS is too slow for most stations).
- Application pauses recording when phone's current connection type is disabled in the settings and then resumes automatically when the phone connects via an allowed connection type.
- Make new recording only when previous recording has been played (Phone's menu button / Settings / Recording / Always start scheduled rec).
- Max. bandwidth available setting, so that the app records only x channels simultaneously. The other channels are queued until bandwidth becomes available (Phone's menu button / Settings / Recording / Max bandwidth).
- Seeking (Settings / UI / Show seek buttons)
Free (Lite) mode has the following restictions:
(You can buy the pro unlocker to remove these restrictions)
- Maximum number of stations is 2.
- You can't select weekdays or create many rules per station (advanced rec. rules).
- Recording length is 20min per station.
User reviews:
"I love great music, but I don't want to spend time finding it. I want a professional DJ to play a great mix of new and old music along with commentary. Frankly, the new internet streaming services (Pandora, Slacker, Spotify) aren't good enough for my tastes. None of them have replaced the professional DJ. SiriusXM is the only exception, which my wife has in her car. However, their streaming doesn't offer time-shifting or mobile caching. Additionally, I don't want to pay $12/month for each device. There are lots of radio stations streaming their music on the web. Minnesota Public Radio's "The Current" is a great example. My dilemma: streaming radio doesn't offer time-shifting or mobile caching. Streaming radio works only when I'm hooked up on the internet listening live. What do I listen to when I'm not on wifi or if I want to listen to a program that aired at a different time? zRadio solved this for me. Now I can schedule it to record some great radio programs every night so that I always have access to a variety of fresh quality music. So far the app is working just as advertised and I haven't noticed any problems with it." - Jesse, 5 stars

I like your application. I want to write a EPG for my favorite Station and schedule recordings with it. Is it possible to use your app for that? Some Intent called with a URL, Starttime and duration, would be great!

I can implement this, but so that there's no misunderstanding, I haven't decided anything yet but I will probably release this as a paid app when it's ready, and some kind of lite/trial version. Meaning that if your EPG needs zRadio to record, people who use it would need to buy zRadio.
I might also implement some EPG system in the app itself, I have some ideas, but that is still long ways to go Just so that if I do it one day, it won't come as a surprise to you
Just an update if you're wondering why there haven't been any updates.
I think I got the Ogg pause/resume problem sorted out (related to converting recordings to play in Android's own media player). Anyway, I had to fix this at some point.
When there's a disconnection while recording ogg, the recording is playable only up to the disconnection point. I'll fix this next while I'm working on the Ogg stuff.
Looks like then finally adding the recordings to the music library _should_ be easy to implement
Too disappointed
Hear this message, it！！！！！！！！！！！！！！

Hmm, ok. If you send me a bug report or other feedback I'll see what I can do. I know the app is far from perfect (at the moment)
New update in Google Play. I added full changelog for all versions to first post.
The recordings can now be added to Android's media lib (Settings / Recording / Add recs to media lib). For now they're in Unknown artist / streams / x. Will improve this in the future
My "big Ogg project" is nearing completion, but I thought I'd do a smaller update release because the Ogg stuff will still take a while. I already know what I have to do, but I'll continue doing that next week. When I'm done with that Ogg streams should work too, right now pause/resume doesn't work, etc..
I started fixing the ogg stuff because it has some stuff in common with adding the files to media lib, but it turned out to take longer than I expected. Anyway it's getting there and it's good to have that fixed too.
Good one
nice app, i am also learning may be some day i will make on LOL
Update
Update released. Changelog in first post.
All Ogg problems should be fixed now. That took quite long to implement, but now it's done
I also looked into getting the station names for all stations, but it didn't work like I thought it would so I'll continue that later.
I also started implementing a system so that Android's media lib would show artist "zRadio" and title "radio channel name". That's not ready yet, so it's not included in this release. Also when I implement multiple scheduling rules per station then it can show more info too.
The integration with Android media library is great! Really appreciated.
Having said that I'm really looking forward to the release that names the streams in a readable way.
Great work!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA
Update
New update in Google Play. Changelog in first post.
Now Android's media lib should show artist "zRadio", album "zRadio" and song name [station name]. I can tweak those around how you users want them
Update
Mainly a bugfix release, added feature to temporarily allow mobile data.
Now the only request left is multiple schedules per station, and selecting weekdays, etc. I'll start that next week.
I've been receiving some bug reports via Android's own reporting system, which is good, but the problem with Android's own system is that it gives me very limited info and even a bigger problem is that I can't contact the user to debug and fix the problem. So if you encounter any freeze / crash / etc, please send me a bug report from zRadio, menu button / about/help. Thanks.
I fixed some problems that caused freezes / app not responding / etc, but there is still lots to be done for the UI.
Thanks for the update and great program. Have been using this twice daily since installed to listen my favorite programs while driving!
Great App!
Good work!! Really good app helped me to record good sessiones from a few stations
I've been fixing some bugs which appear when SDCard is full or faulty. I'm also adding a feature which stops recording when battery is low. I still have to do some more testing with the changes before releasing update. Also I thought I'd change my releasing cycle so that I do new releases in the beginning of the week, so that if there is some urgent bug I can fix it during the week
I've also been planning how it would be best to implement the multiple schedules per station. I thought I'd fix the SDCard full/faulty bugs and add the battery low feature first.
Just thought I'd report here. Next update probably in the beginning of next week.
Update
Fixed bug which had been bugging me (better handling of faulty / full SDCard).
Also the app now stops recording automatically when battery is low.
Nothing else this time, I took a few days off to get some fresh ideas, and I've been planning the multiple rec schedule thing:
Something like this:
- It's called "Advanced schedule"/"rules"/something under station edit. It disables the normal recording settings for that station.
- A rule can repeat daily, hourly or weekly.
- Each rule is recorded in its own file. So each time the rule records, the previous recording of that rule is overwritten.
- If a station has multiple rules then a selection dialog is shown when station is clicked.
- Next / prev chan. buttons cycle through all recordings (station default recs and advanced rule recs)
Feedback is welcome, I'll start on that tomorrow.
Looks like settings shows the stop rec when battery low setting as off before you change it. It's actually enabled by default, but the settings shows it as being off.. The mysteries of Android's SDK, long story..
I'll fix it tomorrow.
Update
May 23 2012
- Fix settings screen showing some values wrong when opened for the first time. (Happened only on ICS?)
- Added current value as summary for max. rec bandwidth setting
- Unit fix Mbit/s -> Mibit/s
Now on with the advanced rec. rules..
Progress update
I've been working on the advanced rec rules, tweaking new graphics with the graphics designer and I have to make better error handling so that all error reports use my own logging system instead of Google's (I've received 2 error reports after May 11th, so atleast it seems there are very few serious bugs left .
Next update release target date Mon-Wed next week.
Thanks to XDA Developer hrk!
[APP][1.1][Aug 28th] DCIM Helper: make your device DCIM compliant!
IMPORTANT: after an update, be sure to turn on the app, as Play Store turs it off!
Do you hate when iPhoto won't show the pictures you shot with your Android device, but it works fine with your friend's HTC Sense device? Why is that?!?
That's simply because Google's camera does not comply with the DCIM standard, used by every other Digital Camera in the world (HTC Sense does it!) and properly recognized by iPhoto.
With this app, your Android device will be able to comply and iPhoto will display and import your pictures.
FEATURES:
- Hassle free "Configure once and forget forever!"
- Works with any picture taking app, not just the stock Android Camera!
- "Automagic" background moving of newly taken shots into the proper folder. No need to open the app each time you connect to iPhoto.
- Fully DCIM compliant and fully Android MediaServer compliant (pictures will not vanish from the Gallery).
- If you don't feel like moving, you can select to copy the pictures (but don't forget to check your free space!)
- ON/OFF switch to quickly enable or disable the app.
- Supported picture format: JPG, JPEG, PNG.
- Supported movie format: 3GP, M4A, M4V, MOV.
- Supports Windows, Linux and Mac OS X hosts (don't worry about Thumbds.db, ._IMG0001.jpg files and so on!)
ADVANCED FEATURES (which require a once-in-a-lifetime donation):
- Multiple folder monitoring: if you use Third Party apps (Camera MS, ICS Camera, ...) you can move/copy their pictures as well! Just add their folder to the monitored list.
For more information about the DCIM standard: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_...ra_File_system
DOWNLOADS
The app is available for free on Google Play Store.
CHANGELOG
2012-08-28 - 1.1
- Added support for MP4 movies.
- Added Homescreen Widget to quickly toggle the app ON/OFF (1x1, 2x1) and display the current number of pictures and movies processed by the app (2x1 only).
2012-08-25 - 1.0
- First public release.
- Support for themes (dark, light, light & dark).
- Automatic discovery of right folders on first launch.
- Option to monitor multiple folders (Donation required).
PLANNED FEATURES
- Translations: if you want to contribute, you can submit your own translation to http://www.getlocalization.com/DCIMHelper/. If I feel like it, I may give you a special package enabling extra features as a thank you... but the translation has to be good!
- A homescreen widget to turn on/off the service (without having to open the app)
- Optionally rename 3GP, MOV, M4V, etc files to MP4.
- Improve auto-discovery on devices using "_externalSD" hack.
