If you like listening to the likes of Jimmy Saville and Dave Lee Travis tearing up the wheels of steel, Play.fm on Android might be for you. It’s a music app entirely dedicated to streaming DJ sets via 3G or wi-fi, with over 30,000 mixes currently in its database.
Here’s the official description. Good to know it works while skydiving:
Play.fm is where you are. Install the Play.fm App for Android and take your favorite DJ Sets with you for listening anytime, anywhere: on your way to work, while skydiving or at your friend’s party. Just about anywhere with 3G or Wifi connection. Now available on the Android marketplace for EUR 2.99.
No mention is made as to the legality of the recordings, but the makers have a big and expensive-looking web site and internet radio service, so we can only presume everything is being conducted above board and with the consent of all named parties.

It’s smooth to use, the 1080p display is sharp, clear and bright, the device is extremely light and thin and therefore very pocketable and portable — much more so than other 5-inch phones we’ve used. And yet… we’re a bit unimpressed by the overall package…
A relatively high-spec smartphone, with a 4.5″ display running at 480 x 854 resolution and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, plus the Ascend G510 arrives running Android 4.1.1 — albeit potentially hindered by Huawei only sticking 512MB of RAM inside it..
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

Does PLAY.FM pay royalties to collecting societies?
Yes, we do.
As PLAY.FM is based in Vienna / Austria we pay licence fees to Austrian collecting societies (AKM, AUME, LSG).
They have contracts with other collecting societies around the world. Therefore a part of the money that PLAY.FM pays here in Austria will be passed on to those collecting societies abroad.

To continue unlimited listening please upgrade to Play.fm Premium.”
