Raydio is a worthwhile app to download. On it there's Shoutcast and Onrad.io. I use Onrad.io to search for and bookmark stations. You also have the option, through the My Stations tab on the bottom, to lock in on certain streaming site by typing in the URL address.

If you have an iPhone Raydio may not be available for it. I can get it on my Android phone thru Google Play.

Whoops? Can't you manually add it? Raydio is an excellent app that I have been using to get the stations all of you have mentioned. I can bookmark the stations and flip through them. Sound quality through ChromeCast Audio is very good to outstanding, depending on the station. Been listening to Chicago and San Francisco's jazz stations a lot.

Decided on an OKCSC ZX1 headphone from China. $75.

Any decent non fatiguing headphones on sale? For use with external player and smart phone?

Audio only. This is different than Chromecast. It has to be Chromecast Audio.

Thanks everyone. Any international channels?

I bought Chromecast Audio to essentially replace the tuner function of my stereo. I bought a split rca cable to connect it to the left right inputs to my amp. plug the other end to an outlet. Download google home app, and it looks for the Chromecast I plugged in. Give it a name, change some settings. Then you can download a number of apps that work with this -- Spotify, Tidal, TuneIn, Raydio, Yatse, BlackPlayer, etc. Connect to NPR blogs, streaming only stations, what have you. You can also use plex to use it with wired hard drive servers. It apparently has 24 bit dac chip built in. With many stations the sound is flawless. Others you can tell it is low bit streaming. Don't use Google Play for music streaming, as it apparently has come sound compromises. One can hook up multiple Chromecasts in the house to all work together.

So WFIU1 not 2, right? Thanks for these, everyone!

Got a Chromecast audio and love it. Looking to add to a small list of jazz radio stations so I can listen to various stations across the country. Recommendations?

Bought four of these. Killer deal!

Combine it with a FX Audio tube preamp for $45 and weep some more.

Washington DC was home to some amazing guitarists. Roy Clark, Link Wray, Roy Buchannan, Bo Diddley (for a few years) and others.

Here, from the Comics Journal, an excellent piece on Stan Lee and his legacy : https://www.tcj.com/stan-lee-1922-2018/

Pretty much.

Kirby's opinion was shared by others. Remember, Lee's plot contributions were generalized concepts that the artists brought to full fruition and detail . In many cases they introduced characters that either fell flat on their faces or became classic characters on their own. Kirby's beef was that he was not getting credit (and money) for these ideas that he brought in. Timely was not doing well in the late 50s until Kirby and Ditko came in and started doing creature feature type stories. Stan was always a businessman, not a creative genius.

Scott, you are correct, I was thinking VIsta but typed 7.

This is the first Mac OS that I will not upgrade to; I have heard so many issues with it, like Windows 7 bad. But I have an old MacMini 2012 model that I will keep on going until I have no choice but to get the latest and greatest, even though I can not upgrade the hard drive.

RIP Stan. He was not an innovator; he was a good promoter and showman. The real work was done by several artists who worked for him, especially Kirby and Ditko. I will give him credit for taking the long form comic strip narrative and applying it to comic books, spreading a storyline out over many issues and even different titles. It got people to buy books that they wouldn't have, except for the fact it had x character appearing in it. Guys like Roy Thomas, Gerry Conway, Jim Shooter and others probably did more to build Marvel into prominence than anything that Stan ever did. But he was a good front for the company, and popular.

I don't mind hearing Mingus with a different drummer. Variety.

At least on the opening track, Roy Brooks scorches the earth with his drumming.

Just saw this, as well as a mention in the Washington Post. Much too young. RIP.
