The OG of Internet And aduo

I am shocked this has so few reviews. This is the OG of Internet Radio!! Have used this for years. Got streams to work on VLC where app is not available. Lately none of the stations appear to be able to get the stream…?

Long time listener

Been tuning in for a long time now. I find myself always putting groove salad on to study or just have some background music going.

Top 10 Audio Apps

I absolutely love the chill music to study to, program to, get some work done to. No ads, no interruptions, and just clean chill music. Love Mission Control radio. Best radio channel on my phone.

Kleine Perle im Mainstream

Vor allem im Indie Sender konnte ich schon viele neue Songs finden. Die Oberfläche sieht ein wenig anders aus als man es eventuell von anderen Anbietern gewohnt ist aber dafür überzeugt die App durch ihre Inhalte. Neue Musik, keine versteckten Kosten, kostenlos und das Beste- keine Werbung. Da spende ich gerne etwas. Absolut empfehlenswert.
