CAR

DEVICES

MVYRADIO is available on most streaming devices, including Como Audio, Sonos, Amazon Echo, and Google Nest. Some of these systems connect to our stream via TuneIn. If your device is voice-activated, tell it to "PLAY M-V-Y-RADIO" (not "WMVY"). On Alexa devices, you can use iHeart instead: "Alexa play M-V-Y RADIO on I Heart Radio." For Siri: “Siri: Play radio station M-V-Y RADIO."

IMPROVED AUDIO!

We recently raised our bitrates in order to improve audio quality.

If the stream is coming through choppy or intermittent, please try raising your buffer settings to the highest setting. You can do this on most players and apps, in Settings. The purpose of a buffer is to have a backup supply of the stream and play from that when the data is interrupted. A longer buffer takes a little longer to collect, but should smooth out choppiness in the stream.

The MVY app has implemented a new audio player across both platforms that no longer requires manual buffer size settings—this is now handled automatically by the app. With this update, you should notice the following improvements: • Faster audio start times, as streaming begins simultaneously with buffering • Smoother transitions between WiFi and 4G/5G, with fewer interruptions or reconnections (subject to mobile network quality).

The iOS CarPlay update created a problem for some users of the MVY app. We had found the issue and updated the MVY app (8.28.5) which should address the CarPlay problem.

In TuneIn's app, follow their directions on raising the buffer.

Please note that there is no buffer raising mechanism for browser-based listening such as on Tunegenie or Chromecast listening or for smart speakers that don't draw feeds from another device, such as Alexa and Google Speakers.

As always, make sure that you have a robust connection (carrier, wifi etc.) and make sure you're not doing too many bandwidth intensive operations at the same time (huge uploads / downloads etc.). Using a 5G phone generally improves connectivity.
