Doesn’t AirPlay anymore

What happened to the control that let you choose an AirPlay target? Please put it back in so I can play the live stream on my HomePod speakers again!

Fabulous Station, Buggy App

The performance of this app is inconsistent at best. It works better on some devices than others yet drops signal completely at random on even the most robust networks.

It seems to perform better on a third party streaming service such as iHeart radio or TuneIn. Help solve this problem by becoming a member and help support keep Jazz alive.

Music great, app not

KCSM is a wonderful and important station. It is not well served by this buggy and ad-plagued app.

Simply doesn’t work.

I was looking forward to listening to jazz while traveling. I’m always hearing about listeners in far flung places- I’m in Florence, Italy and get nothing. Huge disappointment.
