Song of the Week - Wednesday, March 19

 I grew up on Simon and Garfunkel. My parents had the greatest hits album on 8-Track and, as an adult, I collected all of the duo's albums. Except this one.

I just picked it up at a resale shop for $4.

This is their first album, released in 1964. Although it was a flop, it contained one of the greatest songs ever written. Listen this week on Vinyl Voyage Radio. 

What happened to the Vinyl Voyage App?

Vinyl Voyage Radio used to have dedicated apps (and if you downloaded it from the Google Play store, it should still be available on your Android phone) but these apps are no longer available in the either app store.

Why?

Well, it's a matter of cost. For Apple, in particular, it gets expensive to keep an app in the store and constantly meet the demands for updates. It's just extremely cost prohibitive to do so.

My solution: use a third party app dedicated to internet radio.

I use My Tuner Radio on my phone. It integrates extremely well with Android Auto in my car. And, I can place other channels in my favorites and scroll through them. This app is available for both Android and Apple.

The thing that works for me is that I can listen to terrestrial radio as well (if they have an internet feed) as my car radio is not very good. It is also available on Roku, Apple Tv and many other services.

Perhaps in the future, I may make an app again for Vinyl Voyage Radio, and learn how to update and code for both operating systems. But for now, this is working really well for me. And I hope it will for you, too.
