GrabRadio
For: iOS, Nokia,

Developed by Galway company GIRT, GrabRadio is an iPhone and iPod touch app that allows you to listen to over 40,000 radio stations from around the world in the one place.

When a radio station provides metadata, the user can use the Grab button to purchase the song they are listening to from iTunes. You can also ‘tag’ the song to a playlist for later or instantly connect to an artist’s YouTube Videos, Facebook and Twitter accounts via the ‘more’ button. If you don’t have access to identifying metadata you can use the built-in Shazam feature to identify that track.
