Since a picture is worth a thousand words, check out what’s cooking below!
Yes, we’ll soon be changing the design of our Facebook application’s popup player. If you are also one of our website users, you’ll notice that the new player has the same style as the one on the Streema website.
Anyway, just wanted to give you a sneak preview. More new cool stuff is coming soon to our Facebook application, so stay tuned!

We’re really – and we mean REALLY – excited to announce something that will be the beginning of a “before and after” moment in Streema’s history: from now on, you will be able to see the name of the song that is currently playing. This has been heavily requested by our community – and to be honest, to be able to finally show it to all of you it is unbelievably awesome!
So, how does this work? It’s pretty simple to explain: many radios stations offer this information in all sorts of different ways, sometimes via the stream, sometimes via their website. What we do is figure out how to grab that information (which is many times not easily available) and then we’ll display it both on Streema.com‘s player (check the screen shot above) and on our Facebook application‘s popup player. Here’s a quick sample of radio stations for which we will show the song information:
– Power Hitz, Hits from the U.S.
– NME Radio has THE best Alternative Rock in the U.K.
– Slow.fm plays Slow and Ambient music
– Roots Rock Reggae with classic reggae in Jamaica
– Deepinside – DJ Sessions if you want go Electronic 😉
In addition to most of 1.FM, 977, Sky.fm, 181.fm, AVRO, and M2 channels – check them out!
By the way, do bear in mind that we currently have this feature only for a reduced number of stations, but believe us that we’re working hard to eventually have this for as many stations as is humanly possible. : ) In the meantime, you might want to see our directory ordered by availability of song information!
Is that all? No Sir! On our Facebook application, you’ll be able to update your Facebook status with the song information. Also, keep an eye out because we might have something similar on our website Streema.com in the not-so-distant future.
Where else are we going with this? We’re not sure yet, but we’d love to hear directly from you about this. We hope you enjoy it as much as we are!
And more than ever… stay tuned!

If you haven’t visited our radio directory recently, we recommend you do that right now! 🙂
Aside from finding a growing directory of thousands of radio stations, you’ll see that we now order radio stations by popularity, as measured by our community’s activity. It’ll be easier than ever to find the best stations out there! Check out the screen shot below.
If you look closely, you’ll also notice that on the right side of the page there’s a showcase of the top station for a select number of genres. This is so that you can quickly explore radios that Streema users have been listening to a whole lot recently. 🙂
Anyway, we hope you enjoy this new radio discovery tool – and we look forward to bringing you a more social and better community experience at Streema in the coming months.
So, one more time, stay tuned!

As we’ve mentioned before, we’ve been working really hard to develop a new design for Streema.com – and today we can say we are very close launching it or, in other words, bringing it to town! : )
The big reason for this redesign is that we needed to give our already very useful site a “cool” look while keeping it as user friendly as possible. We hope this will improve and enhance your experience at our site.
As an avant premiere for our blog readers, below you can see how the Homepage will look as soon as you get to Streema.com for the first time, before logging in:
We are really excited about this big change and we hope the next post about Streema.com will be about launching this cool new design!
Stay tuned!
