Livio and Dice add Internet radio to almost any car

Jun 15, 2011 |

Livio Radio, developer of a free car Internet radio app for iPhone and Android , and Dice, developer of audio integration kits for OEM car stereos, have teamed up to provide a solution for streaming Internet radio to your car without ripping out the stock receiver. It starts with an app on your iPhone and ends with hardware that takes over your car's satellite radio input.

Livio's app delivers more than 45,000 Internet radio stations and Internet streaming AM and FM radio stations via your smartphone's data connection. (The app's free version steps down to 300 stations.) The app features an interface that Livio claims is optimized for an in-car environment with chunky, easy-to-hit preset buttons and large type for metadata.

Cool music discovery features help users to find new music and stations while keeping their eyes on the road. Let's say you're listening to a station and a song you like starts playing. You can tag the song for later purchase in iTunes with the touch of a button. You can also swipe the digital tuner on the screen to have Livio search for similar music on other stations, which is great for finding new stations among the thousands available. And if you want to share a station with a friend, you can use Livio's social network integration to tweet a favorite station, post it to Facebook, or just give your friends the short five- or 6-digit Livio station ID.
