Listening to the radio

So, the gym I go to isn't the most fancy and instead of having a tv on each machine they just have like a dozen big screens mounted on the walls. Each screen's sound is broadcast over a different FM radio frequency. For example, if I wanted to hear the episode of House playing on the TV in front of me, I would tune my radio to 104.7.
I recently purchased a 3rd Gen 32 GB iPod touch. I'm curious to know what would be the best way for me to be able to continue to listen in like I did with my old ghetto 2 gb, non-apple mp3 player.
Note: My gym does not have wi-fi. I can pick up a signal from a nearby eatery but it is password protected. I've got plans to stop in for food one of these days to see if I can score access to it and then, obviously, having no wi-fi won't be an issue. Until then...
I'd be happy to pay for an app if there is one out there that will work for me. However, most I've seen seem to only tune in to "official" stations, rather than any/all frequencies and/or they require wi-fi. Does any one know of an app that might help me out?
Or is my only resort to purchase an extra piece of hardware of some kind? If so, any rec's there? Preferably one that is backed by Apple and won't void my warranty or some crap. If not, I can always just deal with only being able to read the subtitles or dragging out my old mp3 player, I suppose. But it really seems a shame to have spent $200+ on much nicer and newer technology that can't perform a basic function my old crappy player could. :/

Hello JBecks,
First of all, welcome to the Apple discussions.
* I don't know what channel you trying to listen, can you give us the radio station than some of us can try to listen to, ore not.
* Also you can try iTunes radio channels. There are a lot of good channels to listen.
Let me know if so ...
Discussions is a ongoing process. Hope to see you around anytime you need us, or can offer help to others.

  • How do you listen to the radio on a new nano I got for xmas?

    I opened up and read other forums about this topic...the nano itself says 'NO radio signal, please plug in headphones for reception"..well that doesnt work..others suggest we take them off of podcasts...thats a seperate page..it has a file for podcasts and actually a icon for FM RADIO...anyone else have this problem?

    I would also like to know the answer to this question.  I have checked the headphone and they work, but when I go to listen to the radio, I get the same message.  Also, when I put the headphones that came with the ipod in, the connection is very loose.  I have used the ones, I had with my other ipod.  They are a little better, but still not as good as the other nano I have.  Does anyone else have a problem with the headphones coming out?  I wonder if I just have a bum ipod?

  • When I'm listening to the radio or charging it, my i phone gets very hot, is this normal?

    Hello, i´ve noted that my IPhone 4 gets really hot (burn the hand) when i´m listening to the radio, or even when it´s charging the battery.
    Is this normal??
    Thank you guys!!

    No, if it's too hot to hold, you may want to have it evaluated by someone at the Apple store. Good luck!

  • Is there any way to listen to the radio with wireless earbuds?

    I just bought a iPod nano 7th generation for my husband along with some wireless earbuds.  He likes to listen to the radio a lot but he has to plug in headphones in order to get a radio signal.  The purpose of the wireless earbuds was to help eliminate the cord.  Now we aren't able to receive a radio signal.  Does anyone know a way around this?

    I use the Jaybird and Ultimate Ears 9000 Bluetooth headphones with my 7th gen Nano. Works fine. What models are you attempting to use?

  • Can you listen to the radio without internet on the ipod touch?

    Can you listen to the radio without internet on the ipod touch? (like the nano?)

    RainyRain958 you are just BSs. There is no cellular iPod. Here is the comparison

    You can get iPads that have a cellular radio

  • Just got the ipod touch.. is there anyway I can also listen to the radio?

    Just got the ipod touch.. is there anyway I can listen to the radio on this?

    The iPod Touch does not have built in radio functionality. You may be able to find an App that will give you access to radio while connected to WiFi.

  • When I am listening to the radio (streaming through itunes) my macbook pro will log me out, quitting all the applications I have running (often firefox, word processing, itunes, etc). Why?

    When I am listening to the radio (streaming through itunes) my macbook pro will log me out, quitting all the applications I have running (often firefox, word processing, itunes, etc). Why?
    It's very frustrating and I don't understand why it happens. It might happen other times, but I notice it the most when I'm streaming the radio through itunes, though I think it's also happened when I'm streaming music or shows from NPR, so I don't actually know if it's an itunes thing, or an internet thing? Or just my computer being stupid?  But how can I fix it?
    Thanks!

    My best guess at this point is a problem wwith 10.5.8
    It seems clear to me that sometimes, seemingly randomly, software will access the video card (flash player, quicktime, Safari's HTML5 video player, etc) and it will cause a freeze and then log out.
    However - it could just be video card + processor under load.
    This didnt happen before 10.5.8 and I'm thinking it's not the new 27" display causing the issue.
    I'm going to attempt to find time to revert back to 10.5.0 and then combo update back up to 10.5.7 which may be difficult as our IT is remote and we don't have access to Snow Leopard discs.
    I may just have to bring my own in.

  • My Nano 5th Gen loses battery strength rapidly while listening to the radio.  Should there be that much difference than listening to an audiobook or music?

    Should there really be that much difference in the use of battery power between listening to the radio and listening to an audiobook or music?

  • Is there any way to be able to listen to the radio when not in a wifi zone?

    MY friend has a Samsung and listens to Heart radio when walking her dogs. The headset acts as the Ariel and I have tried everything but cannot get the radio as even with the app it is constantly buffering. As I enjoy the radio I am thinking of switching but will be sad to leave iPhone for this. Any advice??

    There is no radio in the iPhone. You can get a music streaming app and listen to internet radio. Or you can buy a $10 FM radio and carry it in your pocket. Here is the Heart Radio app for the iPhone: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iheartradio/id290638154?mt=8

  • Listening to the radio using mac osx

    I am a real computer phobe and don't understand why I can't listen to 'normal' radio stations using MAC OS X. The error message i am getting says that MAC OS X doesn't recognize internet addresses starting with "mms:". Why is this the case? I can play it via windows. Also, I don't understand how to add new radio stations to iTunes. I have searched all through the documentation and cannot find comprehensive instructions i.e. instructions for dummies. Many Thanks, Lost in Kent

    Welcome to Apple's user-to-user discussion forums.
    MMS = Microsoft Media Stream. Try copying and pasting the address into Windows Media Player to see if it will play there. It has been a long time since I looked at mms addresses, could paste a link in a reply to look at?
    iTunes will recognize any stream in standard MPEG streaming format, such as those on Live365. Many Internet stations provide a choice of streaming format, one of which may be an MPEG audio stream and may have an iTunes icon. To play one of these streams in iTunes, you need to click on the Listen button on the stations web site. Depending on which browser you are using, the stream may start up immediately in iTunes or a small file with either an m4u or a pls extension will be downloaded to your default download location. Double-clicking on the file will start the stream.
    Once the stream has played once in iTunes, you can restart it later from iTunes by clicking on its entry in the Library. I made a smart playlist with the condition "Kind is MPEG audio stream" with Live Updating to gather my streams together.
    There is no way to add stations to the built-in radio playlist as that is really a page of links to a remote server.
    Proprietary Windows Media and Real formatted streams need to be played in Windows Media Player and Real Player, respectively, although Microsoft is now recommending Flip4Mac (same link as WMP) to redirect Windows Media streams to quicktime, but I have had mixed results with streams using Flip4Mac.

  • Problem listening to the radio over the internet--​stops after 13 seconds

    Sometimes when I'm out of my home area or at night I like to listen to a local AM radio station over the net. My BB Curve 8330 finds the station ok, and I can listen for 13 seconds and then it stops. If I refresh it will play for another 13 seconds and stop again. Is this a setting that can be changed? Ideas?

    You failed to state what application you are using to listen to the AM radio station.
    Are you using the BlackBerry browser?
    Most applications perform some type of audio compression on streaming radio or music, just for the issue as you described. The incoming stream of data is so large that the device cannot properly buffer the files for continuous play.

    The ipod has bluetooth, wifi, AND FM.
    Apple just does not express an interest in using the FM feature
