alernatively (and arguably easier) is to either
1) ask Alexa to start RadioPlayer - the first time you do this she will want to say her piece about the merits of all this. Then ask for "Caroline Flashback" (or "Radio Caroline" of course).
2) slightly cooler and also fairly easy is to add the RadioPlayer skill from the Alexa app. that makes lauching radio stations very easy.
RadioPlayer is nice as it won't give you ads when you launch it (I think).
I guess a third option is to do as a chap I met in Southampton does - buy an electric car and run it from the net.
PS interesting quote you gave from Johnnie W - about always trying to make the next show better than the last. Amen to that. cheers Previous Message
They both seem to be suffering from a "Tune-in" block.
On Alexa, there is a work-round:
Say "Alexa, open radio feeds" She will answer with What code? Say "Play CRF" & it will work.
Thanks go to Steve Ralph, on Facebook for this.
