Why limit yourself to your small screen on the phone? Run Rock Radio, an app by MyIndieApp.com, best experienced on your PC or Mac with BlueStacks, the world’s #1 Android emulator.
Rock Radio is basically a big bucket of rock stations sorted into neat little piles, and it feels nice because there is a channel for almost any mood. Classic Rock for the usual anthems and deep cuts, Alternative for the 90s and modern stuff, Indie for the smaller bands, Metal and Hard Rock when volume is needed, plus Punk, Progressive, and nostalgia blocks for the 70s, 80s, and 90s. There are even tribute stations for bands like the Beatles or Pink Floyd. The app is simple and quick to use. Tap a station, it plays, hop to another if it is not the right fit. No weird menus or heavy features getting in the way.
On a PC with BlueStacks it runs in the background while doing other things, which suits radio really well. Audio quality depends on the station, some sound great, a few are lighter bitrate, but it is perfectly fine for all day listening. Once in a while a stream will skip or stall, usually because the station server hiccups or the connection dips. Switching stations or waiting a moment sorts it. A few channels go silent now and then if the DJ is off, but there are so many options that it rarely matters. It is live radio only, so no playlists or track saving, just a big, varied wall of rock that keeps playing while work, web, or games happen. If a phone normally pauses music when the screen sleeps, that power saving quirk is less of a headache on PC, though keeping the app active helps.
BlueStacks gives you the much-needed freedom to experience your favorite apps on a bigger screen. Get it now.
