Yep - been there before as I got burnt badly years ago with the old Grace Digital devices that completely relied on Reciva. When Qualcomm pulled the plug on Reciva, the GD devices were completely bricked. I currently own a number of devices (Wiim, Arylic, Ocean Digital, etc) that all have the...

I checked the database at "fmstream.org" and it lists a 128kbps/mp3 stream and a 48kbps/aacHE stream for BOTH BBC Radio 3 and BBC Radio 6. The aac stream for BBC 6 is: "https://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/dash/nonuk/ dash_low/aks/bbc_6music.mpd" and the aac stream...

Agreed...KUVO has outstanding Jazz programming and sounds really good at 128kbps aac+. Yet, this is a perfect example of what needs to be fixed in the WiiM home app. Try accessing KUVO using either TuneIn or vTuner in the WiiM app, and you will automatically connect to KUVO's crappy 64kbps mp3...

3 useful websites to obtain details on url stream addresses: 1) FM STREAM: Site address is "https://fmstream.org" Over 80,000 listed streams... click on a station to play within a browser. Especially useful as it lists all of the direct stream addresses for stations that have multiple...

And I'm guessing that your 97.1 talk station is KFTK in St Louis... The URL address for KFTK is: http://stream.abacast.net/direct/audacy-kftkfmaac-imc Also streaming at 64kbps in aac. Any others? Glad to help out if I can

The direct URL address for KMOX is as follows: http://stream.abacast.net/direct/audacy-kmoxamaac-imc It is a 64kbps aac stream.

Glad you like it. 1 - "FMStream.org", a browser directory and player, does a nice job of listing internet radio streams and their complete streaming addresses, everything from low res 32kbps aac to 320kbps mp3 and aac streams... also some wma and flac streams (I wish TuneIn provided that kind...

A couple of hi-resolution jazz streams that you might enjoy... both are 24bit/96khz and streaming at approx 1200kbps: 1 - Super Stereo Hi-Res Jazz - Chile: http://198.204.228.202:8030/flac7 2 - City Radio Jazz - Chile: http://cityradio.ddns.net:8000/cityradio48flac I don't know what's with...

Agree with you 100%! I recall Wiim listing the ability to choose stream bitrate as a planned firmware update feature months ago (back in the day when they published this information on their roadmap). Not sure if this is still in the works. However, I have been using a very robust internet...

If I add a custom URL address into the "Add Network Stream" section of the Wiim Home App, does the new remote have the ability to save that station as one of the presets?... (or will it not accept that as a preset just like the app will not accept it)

Hmmm…. Bitrate, codec, and samplerate visibility is pretty standard stuff that I find extremely useful. I own numerous streamers that provide this basic information… that info is even available on antiquated 10+ year old streaming apps running on Android 2.3 (JPGs attached). My understanding of...

100% agreed... an important omission that would be very useful if included in a future update. The current Wiim app fails to show COMPLETE information for most internet stations. I rarely see the bitrate (speed) displayed. Listening to a 16/44 stream encoded as mp3 at a 128k bitrate is vastly...

1 - Any update on when the remote will be available through Amazon? 2 - I noted on my mini unit that any custom url that is input into the "open network stream" feature in the WiimHome app CANNOT be saved as a preset in the app. Any possibility that this limitation can be fixed in a future...

The ability to easily access saved radio stations (without the app) is obviously important to me and I appreciate your kind reply. Since you asked for suggestions... I can envision several ways of incorporating this feature. 1 - One method would be to program the capacitive buttons on the actual...

3 Questions on the Handheld Remote for Saving Internet Stations: 1 - The current Wiim phone app can save up to 12 radio station presets, but the image of the the remote only has 4 numbered preset buttons. Will the remote be capable of saving more than 4 internet radio station presets... by...
