RadioTime has launched a new Pro version of the popular TuneIn Radio app for Android. Basically it’s identical to the free app in all respects but one: TuneIn Radio Pro lets you record live radio streams. It’s available for $0.99 from the Amazon Appstore, and should be available from the Android Market soon as well.

TuneIn lets you listen to internet radio streams from 50,000 stations around the globe. You can sort by location, genre, language, or other criteria, and save stations to your favorites list. If you have a RadioTime account you can login and access your presets right away.

TuneIn Radio is currently my favorite internet radio app for Android. You can use the app to find local stations that stream audio online based on your location, or browse or search for stations around the world by genre or keyword. You can also save presets. And since the app is from the folks behind the RadioTime internet radio service, if you already have a RadioTime account, when you login to TuneIn you’ll automatically find your presets.

While I use the free Android app, there are also free apps for BlackBerry and webOS and a $0.99 iOS app. Now TuneIn Radio is also available for Windows Phone 7.

For the most part, the free  Windows Phone 7 app seems to offer the same features you find in the other versions of the app including a directory of more than 30,000 radio stations. But the Windows Phone version takes advantage of the operating systems’ Metro UI, including the ability to swipe left or right to flip between different screens.

RadioTime is an online resource for finding and listening to internet radio streams. You can do that through the RadioTime web site, using a web-based audio player. But RadioTime first came to my attention years ago because the company offered an excellent plugin for Windows Media Center which allowed you to access internet radio from a media PC using a remote control instead of a mouse and keyboard. RadioTime also has an app for Boxee, a cross-platform media center for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Now the company has launched a mobile app called TuneIn Radio, which brings the magic of RadioTime to Google Android. You don’t need a RadioTime account to use the free TuneIn Radio App. You can just search for radio stations by genre or location — one of RadioTime’s coolest features is that it can detect your location and find internet streams for local stations. You can also search for stations by location manually.

If you do have a RadioTime account, you can login and sync your presets, which means you can manage your presets from the RadioTime web site instead of your phone.

There are over 40,000 music, news, sports, and podcast channels available including streams available in the RadioTime directory.

TuneIn Radio is available as a free download from the Android Market.

Update: TuneIn appears to be a free, ad-supported version of the $1.99 RadioTime app which has been available in the market for a while. thanks VW!
