Description

From the listing uploaded by “komputerkevlar”.

Transistor is an app for listening to radio programs over the internet. Transistor is a radio app with a minimalistic approach, that may not be to everyone's liking. It has no radio station discovery feature. Transistor only offers a very simple search option and it imports audio streaming links, when you tap on them in a web browser. Transistor is free software. It is published under the MIT open source license. You can find the code on GitHub (https://github.com/y20k/transistor). GitHub is also a good place to file bugs or even to contribute, if you are interested. FREQUENT QUESTIONS HOW CAN I ADD A RADIO STATION There are three ways to add a radio station to Transistor: Use Search, add playlist file address (M3U, PLS), enter a raw stream address. The last way will not support the update feature. HOW DOES THE UPDATE FEATURE WORK? The update feature will try to fetch the current stream address of a station as well as the updated name and station image. The feature will not work for stations added via a raw stream address, or for stations imported from Transistor v3. WHERE DO THE RADIO STATION SEARCH RESULTS COME FROM? Transistor searches the radio-browser.info online database. You can help out the radio-browser.info community by adding the missing station (http://www.radio-browser.info/gui/#!/add) to their database. WHICH AUDIO FORMATS ARE SUPPORTED? Transistor can play back streams encoded in MP3, AAC and Ogg/Opus. It also has experimental support for HLS streams.

Transistor Radio APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Transistor Radio APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. It is signed with the same certificate as the other version checked. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 1a8f1b2aa80d247e351729c2cf22fcba.
