Want to listen on your iPhone, iPod Touch or Android? Here's how!

Here are instructions on how to get our live audio stream on your iPhone, iPod Touch or Android.

Our live stream is basically Shoutcast Internet Radio. On the iPhone apps if you search for Shoutcast Radio, there is a free app called RADIO StreamItAll. I use a 99¢ app called Radio, but either of them will work.

Here is how to set up StreamItAll:

Go to the App Store and search for Shoutcast Radio. About 6 apps down you will see the RADIO StreamItAll app. Get it. It's free.

(The second one is Radio, which is 99¢ - I like it and use it because it is ad-free. You can add our URL, but it's not quite as simple as StreamItAll.)

(Don't get the AOL app which is the first one - it doesn't let you program your own streams.)

Download and install it.

When you open up the app, you will see the StreamItAll presets. To the left you will see an Edit button.

When you select the Edit button, you will be offered Add Channels and Delete Channels. You will pick Add Channels.

When you choose Add Channels, you're given a choice between adding a radio station from the list, and entering a name and stream URL. You will pick 'enter a name and stream URL' - select Enter.

You can choose any descriptive name you like for the Name - David and Alicia, or however you want to call it.

The important one is the URL.

Where it says URL: (mp3 or AAC direct or within .pl or .m3u files) you are going to enter

http://idellaquandry.serverroom.us:4698

On the wheel, choose '64kbps or don't know'.

Then hit 'Close' on the upper left.

That's it!

At the bottom of the page you will see Custom, and your new station - that's US!

When you select our station give it a minute to connect, and you should be able to hear us broadcasting LIVE!

Remember, it will only work when we are actually broadcasting. If we're not playing at the moment you will not hear anything - we won't be 'on the air'.
