Good luck in your search...I've tried every app I've seen mentioned here and found on my own, and from what I've seen there isn't anything out there that is reliable and robust as Berrytunes for streaming podcasts or internet radio.

I think Berrytunes only $19 w/a 20% off coupon from Handango...they may have a 25% off available....pretty cheap for a cool app. They just added the ability to download podcasts to your SD card, in case you want to save it to listen to later or when you're not online (e.g., on a plane, out of service area).

Handango coupons:

What do you want to use BerryTunes for? If you want it for podcasts, you can buy Podtrapper for $9.95. You can't stream podcasts, but you can download them. But, if you want the rest of BerryTunes's features, it's probably the best deal going.

If you're the organized type, and want to do a lot of downloading ahead of time, Podtrapper may be the one for you.

But I need/want the ability to choose my entertainment options when I'm out on the go, and BerryTune's ability to stream both internet radio and podcasts makes it the most flexible option for me. You can add radio stations or podcasts to the dozens of pre-configured entries that come with BerryTunes, and you can also download podcasts directly on the BB to the SD card if you want to, but it's the streaming capability that makes the app a pleasure for me to use.

I've been using mfradio and moodio for a few days now and they don't compare to berrytunes. BT is the only one I've tried so far that consistently works and it sounds much better. 20 bucks is worth saving the aggravation.

Never had anything even remotely like that happen...sounds like you've got a serious connection quality/strength issue. Do any othet streaming programs work at all for you?

You should try contacting BT support - they are very responsive and very helpful.
