The Best Show on WFMU => Show Discussion => Topic started by: ChrisInLR on September 18, 2013, 10:08:07 AM

I usually listen to the show on Wednesday mornings through the WFMU iPhone app.
There was a recent update, and now the show will play for about 30 seconds and then go silent.
Anyone else having this problem and/or know a workaround?

I usually get a few minutes from any given streaming show these days (via the Android app) before it conks out. I assumed it was my cheap-ass phone that was the problem.

It occurs to me that this probably comes off as a nauseating first-world problem.

It's got bugs. Programming is hard.
As for first world problems,
I don’t like this expression ‘First World problems.’ It is false and it is condescending. Yes, Nigerians struggle with floods or infant mortality. But these same Nigerians also deal with mundane and seemingly luxurious hassles. Connectivity issues on your BlackBerry, cost of car repair, how to sync your iPad, what brand of noodles to buy: Third World problems. All the silly stuff of life doesn’t disappear just because you’re black and live in a poorer country. People in the richer nations need a more robust sense of the lives being lived in the darker nations. Here’s a First World problem: the inability to see that others are as fully complex and as keen on technology and pleasure as you are.

I have no App problems.
I have no Apps.
I still have problems.

I had similar issues with the Android app. The TuneIn app is your friend.
