Streaming audio player for Android
March 10, 2013 5:09 PM   Subscribe

Anyone know of an simple, reliable audio player for Android that can stream audio from a regular URL, and will continue streaming with the screen off?

Firefox often crashes when I try this, and Chrome stops when the screen turns off. None of the audio apps that I have can open plain URLs, and the video players either don't work with audio only or stop with the screen off.

Prefer something free but will pay for something really good. Built-in bookmarking would be nice too.

Best answer: I use an app called A Online Radio. It seems to do everything you want and I've never had any trouble with it.

Response by poster: Thanks these are both good choices. Bit more complex than I'd like but both have bookmarks, work with the screen off, and can stream from normal URLs.
