Our stream and music licens­ing provider, Live365, now allows us to pro­duce our own mobile apps, and as a result we’ve been work­ing with Patrick Moun­teney of Kalei­do­scop­ic Cre­ations to cre­ate a new VCRa­dio-spe­cif­ic App for iOS and Android devices. As you can see from the image above, the app indi­cates the title and artist cur­rent­ly on the stream — whether you are lis­ten­ing or not — just click “Play” to lis­ten. There’s also a News page drawn from the VCRa­dio web site, a 7‑day playlist, and a con­tact page.

The iOS and new Android ver­sions are now ready and you can down­load them here:

We’re work­ing to devel­op these apps fur­ther, for exam­ple to include album cov­er art dis­play — watch this space!

Live365 itself also makes iOS and Android mobile apps avail­able so you can lis­ten to mem­ber sta­tions on the go.

Unfor­tu­nate­ly the Live365 apps don’t auto­mat­i­cal­ly tune to VCR — you can use them to lis­ten to any Live365 sta­tion — so you need to search for “Vir­tu­al Com­mu­ni­ty Radio” to locate us and start lis­ten­ing. Click the heart icon to label it as a Favourite and off you go!

Due to music licens­ing agree­ments, these apps are avail­able in the UK, US and Cana­da only at this time.

If you have any issues regard­ing these apps or lis­ten­ing to the sta­tion, please email info@vcradio.org
