Drive Time in the 2010s (Part 3)

So here we go, time to tune in to "Mountain Chill" Internet radio on your smartphone.

Step #1: Download an "all-in-one" Internet radio tuner application. Pick one that is appropriate for your particular smartphone. Some stations offer specialized tuners that will tune to their streams only, but that is like downloading a browser that only goes to one website. Forget that. Instead, try any of the SHOUTcast partner applications that are made for your particular phone. These applications use Shoutcast's tuning service and give you "search" access to the 40,000+ stations that list on Shoutcast. (Most also allow you to enter unlisted stations via their broadacast IP address). We have a few recommended tuners listed on our mobile site as well.

We are always testing and supporting mountainchill.com on the Android OS with the xiialive application on the Verizon network. We are big fans of Android on Verizon mainly because we've found that Verizon's rural coverage is better than other carriers and we want to be able to listen in the mountains.

Note that we have NO non-roaming AT&T service here in Ouray, CO and we cannot test the iPhone applications here at our studios. So, I'm afraid that we can't answer questions about iPhone compatibility.


Step #2: Search for "Mountain Chill" using the application search menu and click on Mountain Chill in the search result to begin streaming. It is that easy, really.

If you want to do it another way, browse on over to mountainchill.com/mobile with your browser and click on ((Listen)). Click on any of the server addresses shown to launch the stream.

Step #3: Save "Mountain Chill" to your favorites. On xiaalive click on "history." When you see Mountain Chill in your history, click and hold to get a menu that includes "add to favorites." Next time around click on Favorites and launch from there.

Note that occasionally, our stream address will change. If the stream doesn't launch from your favorites list, go back to Step #1 and search for "mountain chill."


Happy listening. Next time we'll talk about listening in the car.
