I agree with enjourni. This a fantastic radio application!
Jazz channels are superb, specially Top Jazz, Jazz Mix and Bop.
And yes... More presets would be nice.
But great app, nevertheless. And free!

F**king owns. Seriously... if you like music, download this app immediately :-) AOL took traditional radio and multiplied the cool factor by 1000.

Only thing I would improve upon is to add more presets, because there's just too many good channels I want to save. Oh and add way to save tracks as mp3s ;) ha

I'm kinda mixed on this. The selection of music channels is fantastic, with a lot of high quality stuff - but the bitrate seems to vary every few months. At first I got 128kbps on everything, then 16kbps, now they're at 64kbps.. it's a bit weird.

The app itself is tidy and fairly nice UI-wise, especially for a major corporation. The login feature is broken and never remembers my password, though, and overall I just wouldn't mind if there was some method of adding the stations as standard Shoutcast (or whatever) streams to iTunes.
