If your looking for the Indie 103.1 iPhone app it’s been pulled from the app store until Entravision releases their official app. In the meantime, you can still pick up the stream on your iPhone with FStream, a nice free streaming radio app from Julien-Pierre Avérous.

You’ll have to configure FStream with the following URL:

Indie 103.1 iPhone App is dead, long live Indie

Later today I’ll be removing my Indie 103.1 iPhone app from the iTunes store. Entravision (the parent company of Indie) will soon be releasing their own official Indie iPhone app. I’m just a fan of the station and don’t want to get in the way of company business. I think it’s great that they’ll soon have their own app, whatever keeps the station going is a good thing in my opinion. The new app will be free from what I understand, but I haven’t seen it yet.

Download stats for the three weeks my app was available (2/2/09 – 2/22/09):

US downloads: 5,140

Non-US downloads: 1,802

Total worldwide downloads: 6,942

Thanks to the people at Indie and everyone who downloaded my app. It’s been fun!

Indie 103.1 iPhone App Update

UPDATE: app is no longer available.

A new version of the Indie 103.1 iPhone app has been published to the iTunes App Store. This update adds artist and title information from the mp3 stream. If you’ve already installed version 1.0 you’ll get an update notice on your phone, or you can update to the new version in iTunes.

NOTE: If you don’t see it yet it could take a bit for your iTunes to pick it up. I just got the update from the App Store on my phone.

Indie 103.1 App Version 1.1

Big thanks to everyone on Twitter who has helped get the word out. We’ve been climbing up the Top Fee apps list in the music category on iTunes. Let’s push it to the top!

Indie 103.1 iPhone App Published

UPDATE: app is no longer available.

Apple finally got my developer account in order so my Indie 103.1 iPhone App is now available in iTunes! The version in the App Store does not show the artist and song information, but I’ve already got that part working. I’ll send Apple an update and it should show up in iTunes in a few days. You can install version 1.0 now and you’ll get an update notice for the new version when it’s available.

Indie 103.1 iPhone Application

UPDATE: app is no longer available.

My new iPhone application has been approved by Apple, but I’m waiting for them to complete the “contracts” that need to be in place before it gets in the App Store. I was waiting to publish this blog post until the app was published, but I decided to put this out here and make the app available to anyone who wants to install it manually though iTunes. Send me your iPhone Identifier and I can email you the application to install in iTunes. Send your identifier to my gmail address (mjablonski). Note: I’ll probably send out a newer build than what has been approved by Apple. I added artist & song title information in the past couple days… so this preview should be considered beta software.

Indie 103.1 iPhone Application

Here is the official app description:

Indie 103.1 was a California radio station serving Los Angeles and Orange County. The station has been taken off the airwaves, but a live stream is still available on the Internet. This application plays the Indie 103.1 stream on your iPhone/iPod Touch.
The application is compatible with all iPhone/iPod Touch devices. It works best using a Wi-Fi or 3G connection. The Indie stream pushes too much data for Edge data connections.

The Indie 103.1 app is available will be available for free in the App Store.

It’s also open source. You can download the source code and even contribute to the project if you want. The project homepage is hosted by Google Code.

There are a lot of features that could be added. My first goal was to get something working so I could listen to the stream without being next to a computer.
