How to Make Your Internet Radio Stations Sound Better!

Ive found a great alternative to the dominant iOS Internet Radio app, TuneIn.

While theres a lot to like about TuneIn, it isnt for everyone, especially users who, like audiophiles, are very passionate and particular about how their audio sounds. Audioforge, the developer of RadEQ, which also does a terrific equalizer app, sensibly called Equalizer, clearly shares this passion.

RadEQ does what TuneIn cant - it lets you fine tune the sound of your Internet stations with its flexible and easy-to-use built-in equalizer. Thats especially important if you have a very good (which often means expensive) pair of headphones or earphones and want to get the most out of them. Add a good portable amp to your iOS device and bingo! You have virtually audiophile quality sound!

Does RadEQ have user access all Internet stations. Not in the same way as TuneIn, which finds many through a simple search. RadEq has thousands of stations on its list, but it did not have my favorties. Audioforge supports the app with wonderful service. It added my stations on request. Theres even a category on its list entitled "Requested."

Does RadEQ have all of TuneIns bells and whistles? Not really. But given that Audioforge supports its apps so well and that RadEq is a relatively new app, I believe more is to come. Im told, for example, that it is looking into adding something that appears to be unique to its Equalizer app, the ability to adjust left and right channels separately. It would be nice, but not essential, I believe for the app to have cover art as well as links to iTunes when a station plays a specific song you might want to buy and download. But the app is so good now, Im not going to mind a bit waiting for whats ahead.

Bravo RadEq and Audioforge!

Five stars for a great app now that is sure to get even better in the the future, and for out-of-the-park customer service.
