FStream Brings Free Radio To Your Mac, iPhone
It’s not exactly a state secret that I prefer to use applications and utilities that are free. The Mac360 Value Vixen™ has a reputation to protect.
One function of our Macs that we may take for granted is the free streaming radio stations in iTunes. Fire up iTunes, listen to dozens of radio stations all day, no charge.
Expand that freebie with FStream for your Mac and iPhone. It’s not that there’s a shortage of utilities which stream music to a Mac or PC. AOL Radio is pretty nifty, somewhat limited in channels, but.... (excerpted).

FStream is a great utility in theory. The DMG I downloaded failed to mount with the reason given as “not recognized.” I’ve only got one Mac which is an iBook G4. Yes, it’s old; but it was a gift from my girlfriend. I’ve only had it for about 3 months so I’m not sure if this message is trying to point to the util being Intel only or if it requires a specific version of OS X. I’m still running Tiger on this machine.
Maybe when I finally upgrade to an Intel Mac (next year hopefully) I will be able to try out some of the neat stuff that doesn’t seem to make it to PPC.

Thank you for displaying my favorite radio utility. One thing you didn’t discuss is how much little memory it uses compared to iTunes. It is drastic to say the least.

One of my favorite apps ever. I was a beta tester in its early days, so I’ve watched FStream grow into the awesome little streamer that it is today. Why launch the behemoth iTunes when all you want to do is listen to some internet radio. FStream is 10.4+ and PPC/Intel compatible. If you’re having an issue downloading, try again (or try downloading with Firefox).
