And you have every reason to be glad - if you like radio that is -.

Tomorrow sees the long awaited release of the Sangean HDR16 HD Stereo 
Portable radio.

I don't have details on this radio at present but I certainly will have 
shortly as a friend of mine will be paying a visit to a retailer to pick 
one up so it won't be long till Universal Radio start stocking them and 
we start seeing reviews.

All i can say is - if its a Sangean product - then we're sure to see 
something good and worth having.

So now we know why Donald Trump spoke to the President of Tiawan, he 
wanted to be sure that the good quality radio sets from Sangean kept 
flowing to the US, Sangean is a Taiwanese company just in case you 
didn't know and they've been in the business of making radio sets and 
other communications equipment since 1974.

Yes as I thought and I reckon the later Chromecast stuff would support 
the 5.0GHZ Wi-Fi band.

HI Dane,
There are certainly newer versions out now, also with much better technical

I can't answer how it get the stream from, or if it maybe just buffers it.

I have a Chromecas though its one of the original models and I'm sure things 
have changed since the time of the first model.

As I recall the Chromecast does have its own inteligence to a point, meaning that it 
is able to take a stream from an external source such as Youtube and stream even if 
the App on the phone or whatever is turned off, problem is then of course that you 
can't stop the stream .

Why should you have an Airport Express with a Chromecast or is one better than 
the other? Yep, one certainly does have better audio than the other and that's 
the Airport Express however it really doesn't matter when all is said and done 
because you won't be able to buy an Airport Express for much longer and I don't 
even know whether you can actually still buy one anyway.

Hi!
Yesterday i tried the Chromecast for music at one of my friends and was very 
amazed.
But one thing i don’t get the hang of is how it actually can stream the music 
or radio station even after you closed the app or even turned of your phone.
Does it connects directly to the stream itself instead of getting the info via 
the phone like the airport express?
So why should i have the airport express then?
Can most apps stream through chromeCast on the Iphone?
TuneinRadio can do that and i guess vlc but how about apple Music and how about 
other apps?
Thanks.

Spotify has the facilities to make use of your Chromecast.

I don't have an Apple TV right at the moment though I suspect that - if 
I wanted to use a Chromecast to stream all the Documentary's and stuff I 
bought with my Apple TV - then I'd be right out of luck

Once the phone or tablet has sent the audio or audio plus video to the

Apple Music does not allow chrome cast. So if you are heavily into Apple Music, 
it won't be a good choice.

annoying behaviour of voice dream reader on ios lately

[André van Deventer]

Hi all

 

I have always and am  still a huge fan of voice dream reader on my iphone
but lately the programme is acting up.  In the past, I could stop the
program, do something else on the phone and   then return to boice dream.
The program would return me to the exact place where I left off.  Lately,
when reading an audio book consisting of multiple mp3 files, it will return
me to the beginning of the file I was busy with and not to the exact place
in the fiole where I stopped.  I know it can be remedied by inserting a
bookmark where you sstoppped each time.  The point though is that in the
past it was not necessary.

 

Has anyone found this lately with voicedream?

 

Regards

 

André
