This won't matter when the subject is a picture, but when there are words on screen (like the album name or artist), sometimes you won't be able to read the entire thing. The only problem with this new feature is that, in order to fit on your iPhone screen, the image will be stretched horizontally. While few people probably stare at the interface while listening to music, the new look is a nice touch that improves the iHeartRadio experience. Here you'll find a switch you can turn on or off to display album art in a window or as the full background to your player.

To switch the player look, simply go to the slide-out menu, navigate to Account Settings, then touch Player Display.

There's also a Skip button (with no limitations - rare in the streaming-audio category) so you can move on to the next song whenever you want. That means you can just hear the hits most everyone knows, or you can hear music that's not so mainstream, and the controls are always available for you to switch. When you're listening to a song, the app has a feature called the Discovery Tuner that lets you set how much lesser-known music is included in your station. Just pick a song or artist and iHeartRadio assembles a playlist from a library of more than 18 million songs and 400,000 artists. If you like a particular station, you can save it to listen to again later.Ĭreating custom stations is incredibly easy as well. You can browse by genre or location and listen to music until you hit a song you don't like, then hit the Scan button to move on to another radio station (no matter the location) that offers similar music. Live radio stations from all over the US are available, including everything from pop, country, rock, electronic, and urban, to talk and college stations.
