I'm interested when you say "Easier" as its really subjective because there are so many ways to do things on an iPhone, I suggest perhaps that you download the demo of Voce Dream and try it for yourself before saying that tasks are easier to perform on one device than another.
I use the oOtunes App for radio stations - oOtunes is the same system used by the Victor Reader Stream as it happens - and skipping between radio stations is about as logical as it gets, press the previous or the next buttons, select a station from your favourites list, search for or browse stations, press stop to stop or pause to pause and continue recording depending on your settings, shake to stop or start etc. On 13 Apr 2014, at 7:49 am, Aidan <aidan.smartt...@gmail.com> wrote: > Yes, I got also an IPhone and five other players.
