Streaming radio on the Epic that fast forwards/resumes like Palm

Streaming radio app on the Epic that fast forwards/resumes like Palm Pre?!?!?

These are mostly, but not only mp3 format. I've tried several streaming apps so far including: xiialive lite, rockplayer light, the built-in music player app. Streamfurious didn't seem to work for me. I'm mainly referring to streaming from websites. I do use Radiotime (now TuneIn Radio) and it works good for the most part.


On Palm I could: 1) Rewind and fast forward 2) if a phone call came in during streaming, then the instant the phone call was terminated streaming would resume exactly where it left off. Sure I can download them and then be able to fast forward/rewind as a workaround but on the Pre I had the choice, I would think this would be the same or better. I don't always want to download everything I stream. As it stands right now, anytime there is an interruption of any kind, I have to start from the very beginning of the stream again. I could be at the end of a 40 minute recording and have to start at the beginning.

Thanks for any help.

Note also-When I have found an app that has a "time slider" (such as the latest attempt Tunewiki) the damn scroll bar does nothing! You scroll it to the left to skip ahead, and it just keeps playing where it's at.

Nevermind-seems that while the scroll bar does not work, pressing and holding the fast forward button does, and I also verified that an incoming phone call when terminated, will return play where it was. So if you're a former Palm Pre website radio streamer looks like Tunewiki is the one.

The TuneIn radio pro app is the closest I can think of. Sounds like you already use it though.

Tune in Radio as good as it is, doesn't allow you to enter a url does it? It's pretty much strictly for designated radio stations that also stream their content. While I do that a lot also, I also need a streaming app that I can use for streaming mp3's off of websites in general that are not radio stations. An update to my earlier comments-the scroll bar on Tune Wiki doesn't seem to work or work properly on mp3 streaming, so I'm still searching for something that worked as good as my Palm Pre-surely it's out there?
