Description Richard Sharpe 2010-01-10 01:31:37 UTC
ClearChannel use their website iheartradio.com to stream all of their radio stations (350+ at time of writing).

The ability to listen to this on my Squeezebox would be much appreciated!

There are 2 radio stations on iHeartRadio that I listen to on my computer and am disappointed that the Squeezebox Radio does not have the capability to access any of iHeartRadio channels.  We bought the Squeezebox specifically to listen to these channels and were disappointed they were not available.  Can you let me know when this may possibly be available?

Thanks.

I want a plugin that runs on a debian SB Server.
Comment 4 Eric Merkel 2011-08-17 10:22:07 UTC
I would like add an additional vote for clear channel iheartradio to be added to the squeezebox devices! Please!!!!

Comment 5 Vincent Piccoli 2011-09-15 05:03:48 UTC
Here's yet another vote for a plugin to support iheartradio.  There are too many good stations on there for squeezebox to pass up!
Comment 6 doug.rusch 2011-09-25 17:00:05 UTC
I also agree the squeezebox should support iheartradio stations (for all OS's)
Comment 7 Shirley 2011-10-07 04:51:35 UTC
I can not believe that Clear Channel wishes to loose the listeners that use internet radios - Squeezeboxes - to listen to their channels. A patch would be simple to do and regain an audience that is quite angry at this point... Patch it. You have nothing to gain but listeners that have been faithful across the country.
Comment 8 jasonluhn 2011-10-09 17:39:04 UTC
Love to see iheartradio on the squeezebox...it would be that much better. One more vote.
Comment 9 lee 2011-10-11 09:05:11 UTC
Please add app for Iheartradio. SB is useless for me now that i can't listen to my stations.
Comment 10 lisa 2011-10-13 05:01:33 UTC
And another request to add a plug-in for iheartradio!  Can't get my local news talk station as of Monday when they switched over!  I know I can get the syndicated shows that I love, but I also love local info on the breaks.
Comment 11 Paul 2011-10-15 13:57:54 UTC
Yes, please add app for Iheartradio. SB is useless for me now that i can't listen to my stations!!!

Comment 15 AB 2011-10-26 04:26:38 UTC
Please provide a plugin so I can listen to iHeartradio stations on my Squeezebox Boom. 
Thank you.
Comment 16 Nolan 2011-10-27 18:42:35 UTC
I too would love to see iheartradio support.  My favorite station was on TuneIn, but now only iheartradio and I cannot listen on my squeezebox :(
Comment 17 David Adcock 2011-11-01 14:31:17 UTC
The above posters are correct.  Unfortunately, IHeartRadio provides a high-level address, but hides the *actual* streaming URL, and thus cannot be accessed by a Squeezebox.

Please provide a Squeezebox I-Heart-Radio app, and I'll send some leftover Halloween candy to the programmer...

Thanks,
Dave
Comment 18 rayagarcia1 2011-11-09 09:06:22 UTC
Please provide an iHeartRadio app for the SqueezeBox.  It's frustrating not to be able to listen to my favorite stations on my cool radio.
Comment 19 AB 2011-11-14 06:04:51 UTC
I vote (again) for adding the iHeartRadio App to my Squeezebox Boom.

Can someone give us an estimate when we can expect a plug-in to be developed for us?

One of the main advantages to my squeezebox boom is listening to internet stations without the PC turned on.

I have been without one of my favorite stations for several months now, so am anticipating the time when I can access the station.

Thanks.
Comment 20 Jason 2011-12-10 04:04:48 UTC
Sonos has an iHeartRadio plugin. When will Squeezebox get some love?  Come on guys please help us out and develop this plugin. The competition has their act together.

Been year since thread started......still no action.....Let get going on app for Iheartradio
Comment 23 Jason 2012-01-11 12:32:46 UTC
iHeartRadio just released a developer API. Maybe this will inspire an app or plugin from Logitech.  How about it Logitech, iHeart radio offers 800 of the leading radio stations in the US.  http://developer.iheart.com/Api
Comment 24 mcqz 2012-01-13 20:46:13 UTC
All of my favorite stations -a mostly Clear Channel - are now on IHeartRadio & no longer available on my Squeezebox.

PLEASE!
Comment 25 joyce735 2012-01-22 16:43:29 UTC
I would also like to add a vote for clear channel iheartradio to be added
to the squeezebox device. Thanks Logitech
Comment 26 Bob 2012-02-04 09:30:43 UTC
Yes, please add a plugin to support iheartradio stations.  I'm disappointed that Logitech has not already addressed this issue.  This will impact my decision to buy Logitech products in the future.
Comment 27 abhumm 2012-02-15 13:00:58 UTC
Why would ClearChannel want to keep people from listening to their stations in ANY capacity, on any device!? Please give us an app or fix it!!
Comment 28 dgpack 2012-02-16 16:22:42 UTC
I bought the 2 squeeze box radios to specifically listen to a station that is now I heart and unavailable.  Please add i heart to your radios.  I might even buy another.
Comment 29 dwcent 2012-02-18 16:38:27 UTC
Please add the iheart radio app.  I cant believe you dont have this.  I just returned a Grace radio for yours becuase yours does so much more, but you dont have the iheart.
Comment 30 Mike 2012-03-06 22:32:23 UTC
Please develop an iheartradio app/plugin for the squeezebox. Currently, as a consultant/technician of an A/V company I may need to find another solution due to this limitation.  Thanks.

Comment 32 rmjaworski 2012-03-29 15:26:40 UTC
I can't believe IHeartRadio just scoops up these radio stations without regard to any of their listeners.
From what I understand, they are a very big corporation that brags about how many stations a week they absorb. Those radio stations no longer use their old URL.
Please Squeezebox, create the app.

Comment 33 JOEAZMAIL 2012-04-16 17:06:32 UTC
There are numerous programs I regularly listen to. When I accessed thru Tunein there were many choices of which stations to lsten to. Now sometimes there are no stations avilable to listen too.  I assume most have gone to IHEARTRADIO.

We need to access IHeart Radio

Thanks
Joe

voting for this as well, I'd like to see and use an iheartradio app for the squeezebox
Comment 35 Elizabeth 2013-01-23 07:48:42 UTC
I'm new to my Squeezebox Touch and trying to add I heart Radio.  I want the new station; Dave Ramsey via I heart Radio added onto my Squeezebox.

I vote for iheart app for Squeezebox.
Comment 38 default88 2013-11-20 22:31:39 UTC
I'd like to add my vote for this enhancement. The addition of a plug it which would allow access to I Heart Radio would be a great addition to my radios.
Comment 39 Tico Doskaman 2014-01-11 03:48:04 UTC
I live in LA, and Clear Channel just dropped 4 of my favorite programs, and they went to IHeart. My wife gave me a Logitech box so I could listen to my favorite shows, except the logitech does not tune IHeart radio. Fixing this would receive my utmost blessing. Please add an extension for Logitech boes to support IHeart, especially the talk channels that are not transmitted over regular radio stations, such as the Randi Rhodes channel.  Thank You.     Tico

all iHeartRadio channels gone

As of 2 weeks ago all Clear Channel stations stop streaming. That's all the major stations in Philly like Q102, Radio104, Power 99 and Z100,KTU, LiteFM in NYC. Looks like Clear Channel did something with their stream URL.

Since it seems like this is a URL question, why not teach us how to uncover these stream URLs and we can fix them ourselves.
Comment 41 Andrew 2015-08-21 22:05:48 UTC
Would be nice to be able to play iheartradio on my squeezebox.
Comment 42 Dave 2016-07-17 11:44:36 UTC
I must agree, a plugin for iheart radio is very much needed... I lost several stations over the past few weeks...  Please consider creating one...
