Re: TuneIn Licensing Obligations...
TuneIn have now made many stations unavailable, even some fully legit stations who I guess weren't able to provide the required info. It's also interesting to see that some stations have slipped through too. I think TuneIn no longer have the dominance that they once had so not much of an issue unless you solely relied on TuneIn....

Alexa relies on TuneIn for a lot of station feeds. Not a problem if the station is registered paid with PRS/PPL

Re: TuneIn Licensing Obligations...
TuneIn is a full on legal business and is happy to make legitimate money off the UK market by way of advertising and subscriptions. With an audience as large as TuneIn's with wiretaps (""smart"" speakers) being integrated, it wasn't going to be long until they were going to ask for PRS/PPL proof from the stations they were essentially making money off.
OnlineRadioBox is better certainly, but its hard to find the actual company behind it (if there is any). Its market share is smaller and given the fact that its funded by online advertising which could come from anywhere, it doesn't have to care about PPL/PRS (if PPL/PRS even cared for such a comparatively small site).
The house always wins

Re: TuneIn Licensing Obligations...
Audials is & always has been far better than Tunein anyway. It's database is very similar (if not the same) & it's app/website has better functionality (e.g. no geo restrictions, a record function & the ability to manually add/save a station that isn't already listed on their database).

Tunein really have shot themselves in the foot with this move, but it was never that great anyway so fuck em!

Re: TuneIn Licensing Obligations...
It's trivial to add the "Simple Radio" skill. The command you then issue is "Alexa, ask Simple Radio to play [Station Name]" - this works well (I use it all the time since TuneIn became useless).

Can't blame Tunein entirely! It's the greedy bunch behind them (Warner Bros. & Sony!). It's just another method done to 'KILL the Competition!' (Pirates) that are harming their bank accounts.Casual wrote: ↑Thu May 05, 2022 10:45 am Audials is & always has been far better than Tunein anyway.

Most underground/electronic/dance stations play music that isn't on those labels. But playing anything copyrighted needs permission or licensing.

It was a little time consuming and took a few months to sort but you can get your own Alexa Skill set up buy Amazon.
I now have "Alexa", "Play React Radio UK", this plays direct from the server by passing TuneIn. Also plays on a Amazon Firestick

Any advice to get Google Nest to play anything which isn't on tune in?

Re: TuneIn Licensing Obligations...
I heard a rumour some were that they were prioritizing licenced stations online, I suppose you’d be more prone to believe in it whats happened to tunein is because of that, I don’t know the answer ![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif)

Re: TuneIn Licensing Obligations...
, Lee, you could try MyTuner i believe its on most platforms, only thing i find mildly annoying is they wont let you stream American stations on the samsung tv app or ios app. Uk work fine. My tuner also works on my apple car play
