Well theres apps that scan the area for stations and stuff like that. IDK any one else?
Plenty of apps for streaming AM and FM radio over 3G/WiFi. I currently use Radio Time and love it. You can actually listen to stations from all over the world. This plus Pandora allowed me to cancel my XM subscription.
Here is their website to really look up stations. http://radiotime.com/apps/android.aspx
App is $2.99, but well worth it for all it offers, IMHO.
There are other apps available for FM radio as well.

No it doesn't! I was using iHeart for a while and it was so frustrating. A few months back, on the recommendation of OTD, I downloaded Radio Time for $2.99. Never a buffer issue, always connects, and stations from all around the globe. Easiest way to add presets is on their website which syncs to your phone. And totally agree with the Pandora app too. Between the two you don't need anything else. I bought the yearly for Pandora but you can use the free version with very minimal ads every once in a while.Does it buffer and connect like crazy like iheartradio?
I purchased Radio Time, but it appears that not all of stations are available on the Android App as they are on the Radio Time website. Anyone notice this discrepancy?

I received an email back from RadioTime in about 5 minutes! They said that Clear Channel owned stations are restricted on mobile devices. You must use iHeartRadio for Clear Channel stations.
If you use both RadioTime & iHeartRadio then you have access to virtually every station.
I noticed the same thing, it was half of the reason why I uninstalled and got my money back. The other half being a horrible buffering rate despite me being in a constant 3G area.
See that's all fine and good but their site is incredibly misleading and that is not right. I went onto it and saw that two channels I really wanted were in their list, bought the program, went to listen to them only to find its not supported. So my question to the developers is why even put them up on their website if they don't support them?
Back to the drawing board for me as far as an FM app goes.
Yeah i didnt like radio time it had the stations that i wanted, But the program kept buffering so i returned it. I dled Xiialive and that has the stations i want its free and almost never buffers after i start to play a station.
