105.7 The X

This used to be flagship alt-rock station in my area but it’s become really sad. They’ve got to get rid of Chris James, both on air and as program director. It’s turning into geriatric classic rock. Yesterday they placed Blu Oyster Cult for Pete’s sake. And whenever old bands put out horrible new music rather than playing it once and telling them “good job, buddy” like every other station they just keep playing these horrible songs for months. That new Staind song “here and now” has no business being on the radio. Also, the traffic guy is for traffic. No one wants to hear his input on events of the day. Boring.

I work in a kitchen and I do not want to shmoo up my phone so I use waterproof ear buds, with just a tap it can play/pause. Very handy when someone is trying to talk to you… like the boss. This app unfortunately will not play/pause unless it’s on the actual phone.

The app keeps buffering or stops and I have to hit play multiple times a day while listening. And ads also start playing in the middle of songs when nothing was touched. Love the station but can't listen to it at my desk except through the app on my phone.
