MySqueezebox, the app intermediary for Logitech Media Server, is no more, taking access to TuneIn with it. Being determined to keep live radio streaming on my LMS network, I built a local collection of essential favorites to access the streams directly. It took a while to find all of the right URL’s, but they’re now working within LMS.
Today at 1 on TuneIn station Boss Radio 66, Tom Hanks celebrates our unconditional surrender to the British Invasion.
When I was doing AM radio DJ duty, I could monitor either what was going to the transmitter from the studio, or what the transmitter was putting out over the air.
If I was working alone on a weekend, I always monitored the over-the-air signal. What I heard wasn’t quite what listeners with regular AM radios heard, because the station’s AM receiver had wideband reception.
My GE Superadio III, now almost 30 years old, has wideband AM reception. It’s only useful during the day, on stations that are well separated on the dial from other stations. Here’s an example of the difference in sound quality, for all that it matters anymore. 🙁
The second part of the Freakonomics Radio podcast series on physicist Richard Feynman.
Tune in to Boss Radio 66 on TuneIn, tomorrow @ 1 PM ET, for more of Tom’s Hanksy-Pansky song selections!
There’s no stopping Tom Hanks on his music mission. He’s already back again as DJ on Boss Radio 66! Today at 11.
