any good podcast & radio player

Hi, I am relatively new to Symbian OS. Just want to check out whether there is any good podcast & radio player. I can only find one or two but both are much less functionality than their Windows Mobile OS counterpart. :con?

The nokia podcast app is very very good and free: http://nds1.nokia.com/files/support/global/phones/software/Nokia_Podcasting_1.00.3.SIS

For radio (I assume you mean digital) I use spodtronic which is also free but limited in what it can recieve: http://www.spodtronic.com/en/index.html

I recently came across another radio streamer within a recording piece of software by Alon Software, found here -> Clicky

A bit pricey if all you want is a radio player but the radio player part is free (some logic in there, I think)

I use the Nokia podcast app, which works fine. You can also use web feeds for podcasts. Realplayer streamed radio can be played from within Gallery ('streaming links'😉. There's a free shoutcast (MP3 streams) radio player available from Nokia research labs but it's really just a demonstrator/beta: I use 'LCG Jukebox' for shoutcast streams, and it's a capable music player too.

thank you all to the advice, I'll give them a try and see how that goes

search for SPODCAST - its free and has masses of stations to choose from
