Spent a good bit of time today looking at Bandwagon.fm because of the connection with The Indie Beat Radio and then created an account.

Because I had made the Radio Free Fedi #Roku app and was sad when RFF shut down in Dec 2024, I contacted Kirsten and asked if it would be OK for me to make an app for #TIBr and she said, yes! I was back in business listening to music on my entertainment center from my couch in the living room.
To install the app, search "Indie Beat" on the device or go here and install it on your account on the web:

@MTP keep an eye open late December for something Fediverse-related that might help plug that gap a little!
