Flytunes - FM for your iPhone, Touch
Written by praveen on February 25, 2008 – 6:48 pm
Now this is some great news for iPhone and Touch lovers. The Flytunes service promises to deliver FM stations right onto your mobile device. I tried the service over the weekend and I must say I’m really impressed. To begin with, the interface is pretty simple and stands up to the iPhone standards set by Apple. Navigation is pretty straightforward and quick too. There is a lot of choice available when it comes to stations, in fact, they had a Hindi station too! Streaming is pretty fast when you’re connected to a Wi-fi network and surprisingly, even on EDGE. There is a set of toggle buttons that let you select the network you’re connected on and accordingly presents you with high/low bandwidth stations. Setup is quite simple, all you need to do is sign up on the website and wait for your registration email. Make sure that you provide an email ID that is already configured on your iPhone/Touch. There is a link in the email that you need to navigate to from your mobile device in order to complete the registration process. Overall, this is a great addition to the host of other sites available for the iPhone at least until the SDK opens up. Till then, go ahead, give it a try. www.flytunes.fm

Every time I try to get Flytunes Music, it tells me I don’t have enough “bandwidth”. I tried taking songs off my Ipod but it still won’t work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I presume your wifi connection does not have enough bandwidth for Flytunes to stream music or in fact be inactive. Are you able to connect to your wifi network via other computers in your home?

Thanks for your response. Yes. I can connect with our WiFi in the house. I can even use it on my ITouch & get on webpages. I just can’t get the music page to work

I’m a little confused. When you say music page, do you mean the app or are you referring to the web site? Are you trying to open flytunes via Safari (the browser)?

Kim, try installing the ‘Flytunes’ app. It’s available for free on iTunes and is way better than using Safari.
