I use it and it's awesome. The 3G stations are MP3 quality and sound great. There are tons of different types of stations. You can sort by genre. There is definitely comedy; I've listened to it a few times. Not sure about sports though (not a big sports fan). But for a free app, it's pretty sweet.

I like it, good app with a nice variation of stations. I don't recall how wide ranging the sports selection is.

I use it and like it very much. Every now and then the controls do funky things.

It's great. It would not work when I upgraded the OS to v224 but I downgraded to v216 and it's working again.

Great program!

Default flycast is great, so is Nobex Radio Companion

I use Flycast quite a bit, but I also Like Nobex, because you can actually listen to radio stations across Canada and the US

I agree, I like Flycast a lot. The sound quality is good, and there's a decent selection of stations.
I also really like Slacker, too, both on my BB and on my PC.

Flycast is great, it's easy to use, has a range of stations and completely FREE. So give it a try.

I definitely love Flycast, but I am going to give this moodio a whirl for good measure.

For those in Canada, Slacker does not seem to work on Rogers, but FlyCast does. I have not tried the new 2.0 Beta, but the previous edition of FlyCast, which said it was for Canadian listeners, appeares to be identical to the US version and had no Canadian content.

The beta version wouldn't get pass the "loading..." part for both, "my content" and "guide" so i cant really give an opinion however, i can give an opinion on the new version of FlyCast_Canada and the disappearing of my favourite channel "Hip Hop Classics '93-'95". What's this about???? What happened to my channel?? U guys redesigned the GUI and along with it discarded the only channel i listen to on a regular basis. Why? It was the best channel ever. Phat beat, wicked rhymes, Digable Planets, KRS-ONE, The Roots, Common, WuTang, Method, Biggie...this is my childhood people, don't mess with it lol. But seriously, bring it back or tell me where i can listen to it again and i'd greatly appreciate it.

thanx
