    The radio app that you are using may not support multitasking (does it stop playing whatever app you switch into ?), or the app that you are switching into may be disabling it.

    What radio app is it? Does the radio app work when you are using any other apps? Some apps work in the backgound, it doesn't look like this one is designed to work this way. I also believe that it is not possible for this app to work in this way, most probably because the currently open app takes control and priority over your audio and video - that's speculation, don't quote me on that.

    well , u guys pointed out something that the radio app which is "rad.io" works together with safari but not artrage,the painting app i mentioned.Guess some of them are just not that friendly with every other apps.

    Or may i have an sugestion from your own radio experience ?

    oh,btw it better be free...

    If it works when you switch into Safari then that would imply that it's the painting app that is overriding the radio app - so it's possible that you'd have the same problem with other radio apps with that app.
