Please visit our support site to find out what our App can and cannot do before purchasing. We are forthcoming and never misleading with our features. We are the only known Broadcast Quality HiFi iPhone Player with actual technical specifications developed by a team of broadcast digital audio and computer professionals.
We are the same developers that brought HE-AAC to the Internet with the first commercially available streaming audio encoder, Orban Opticodec-PC in 2002, and the Orban/CT-Dolby HE-AAC Windows Media Player Plugin in 2004. We know and understand HE-AAC technology from our vast experience with both encoder and decoder software deployed at millions of locations around the world. We are destined to improve Internet audio quality and change the way Internet audio is perceived and consumed.
Accessibility Comments
The app is fully accessible. It does have some strange tool-bar layouts when doing things like adding custom streams and favorites. Focus reverts to the player tab once you start playing a stream so if you close and reopen the app even when it is not playing you are on the player tab. I'd rather be on the favorites tab when first starting.
