Not a big fan of the local radio stations. I've started to listen to Radio 2 through my Smart speaker at home. I especially like OJ Borg on from 7am - 10 local.
I've tried it in the car through the BBC Sounds app and comes out crystal clear on the car speakers through the android auto screen.

Re: BBC Radio 2
You must be using 4G to use it on the move - does it use a lot of data? I listen to Ken Bruce most days (at home), albeit on catch-up as his time is 9.30 - 12.00 UK times and I prefer to listen to it at a similar time in Thailand.sateeb wrote: ↑Thu Jan 12, 2023 10:11 am Not a big fan of the local radio stations.

Good question with a simple answer of I have no idea. I have a monthly top up 350 baht internet package with DTAC.Dannie Boy wrote: ↑Thu Jan 12, 2023 10:28 amYou must be using 4G to use it on the move - does it use a lot of data?

Kenny Bruce follows Zoe Ball's show which is also good listening apart from her annoying habit of calling everybody "My darling"

Re: BBC Radio 2
Don't most devices and apps now run on 5G? Supposedly pretty good coverage here (85% claimed)
I've been using 5G for phone and laptop and all devices in the house. I moved to 5G 2 years ago.

Re: BBC Radio 2
It makes little difference- it’s simply a case that you need 4G or 5G to be able to use any of the music apps while on the go!!

Re: BBC Radio 2
I'm just an illiterate as far as 4G and 5G. I just go with the flow. Don't ask me why because I don't know. That said, I've never had a problem.

Re: BBC Radio 2
Sounds like it’s a case of the very poor sighted leading the blind then, but to be able to use the music (or any other app) in the car, you need to have Mobile Data (4G or 5G) turned on, at least that’s how I understand it!!
Re: BBC Radio 2
As far as I'm aware whenever not using wi fi and you want coverage anywhere you have to turn on Mobile data.
