#Swift Radio
Swift Radio is an open source radio station app with robust and professional features. This is a fully realized Radio App built entirely in Swift 2.
##Video
View this GETTING STARTED VIDEO.
It's short & sweet to give you a quick overview.
Give it a quick watch.
##Features
- LastFM API Integration to automatically download Album Art
- Loads and parses metadata (Track & Artist information)
- Current Artist & Track displayed on Stations page
- Displays Artist, Track, & Album Art on Lock Screen
- Ability to update playlist from server or locally. (Update stations anytime without resubmitting to app store!)
- Custom views optimized for iPhone 4s, 5, 6 and 6+ for backwards compatibility
- Compiles with Xcode 7 & Swift 2.0
- Background audio performance
- Supports local or hosted station images
- "About" page with ability to send email & visit website
- Uses industry standard SwiftyJSON library for easy JSON manipulation
- Pull to Refresh Stations
##Important Notes
- Volume slider does not work in Simulator, only in device. This appears to be an Xcode issue.
- Radio stations in demo are for demonstration purposes only.
- For a production product, you may want to swap out the MPMoviePlayerController for a more robust streaming library/SDK (with stream stitching, interruption handling, etc).
- Uses Meng To's Spring library for animation, making it easy experiment with different UI/UX animations
- SwiftyJSON & Spring are included in the repo to get you up & running quickly. It's on the roadmap to utilize CocoaPods in the future.

Watch this Getting Started Video to get up & running quickly.
##Integration
Includes full Xcode Project to jumpstart development.
##Stations
Includes an example "stations.json" file. You may upload the JSON file to a server, so that you can update the stations in the app without resubmitting to the app store. The following fields are supported in the app:
-
name: The name of the station as you want it displayed (e.g. "Sub Pop Radio")
-
streamURL: The url of the actual stream
-
imageURL: Station image url. Station images in demo are 350x206. Image can be local or hosted. Leave out the "http" to use a local image (You can use either: "station-subpop" or "http://myurl.com/images/station-subpop.jpg")
-
desc: Short 2 or 3 world description of the station as you want it displayed (e.g. "Outlaw Country")
-
longDesc: Long description of the station to be used on the "info screen". This is optional.
