I second the recommendation for TuneIn (with iHeartRadio to pick up
the Clear Channel stations).

It's also avaiiable on Android...free for TuneIn, 99 cents for TuneIn
Pro, which has those recording/pause features.  I got Pro for free as
the Free App of the Day on the Amazon App Store.

Again, the CC stations aren't there, or in any other smartphone
streaming app, since they're on iHeartRadio.

That's free, and the 3.x version is vastly improved on Android...it
was inferior to iOS before, since the Android version required CC
stations to actually install separate streaming computers...the iOS
version had 700 stations, the Android version had about 300.

No more, as the upgrade to 3.x on the Android not only improved
performance, it streams all the CC stations that iOS does (and I
believe all CC streamers...the update brought us the smaller market CC
stations).
