Yeah, it sucks that I hear the same damn commercials in a loop 234 times a day.

WELCOME...TO YANKEE STADIUM!!!

But, when I want to mute the damn stream, MUTE THE DAMN STREAM, and, yes, that includes those shitty video commercials. When I click the radio.com mute button, I want the damn thing to mute....EVERYTHING.

I don't want to be talking with someone in my office and suddenly a commercial (louder than the normal setting also) for Progressive or whatever starts blasting through my speakers.

Additionally, the mute button on that individual commercial doesn't work so the only option is to mute the entire computer or close the webstream window.

Nice app. You suck.

Doc,
I wear half a headphone. Nobody is bothered and I can remove it if somebody walks in.

That's work. I couldn't figure out autocorrect yesterday.

Is it too much to ask, you know, to have their product work? Why is it on me to figure out a workaround?

well, this is how we had to do it before the stations went to players...so, it's not a work around, it's a actual thing.

c'mon, you created the mother of all excel spreadsheets. i'm sure you can download something without issue.

Yeah, I'm going to double-down on this DB now.

I just found the ad because it just about blew my speakers out at 3x the set volume.

It's for Ulta Beauty. Unmuteable ULTA BEAUTY! Selling me mascara on the damn sports station!

You suck.

That's why he's an earner.

Try the TuneIn Radio app. Works great for me.

OK.

I get that something else works. Shouldn't their damn thing work?

Am I asking too much?

I can make a much better hamburger than McDonald's but sometimes you just want to go to McDonald's. Too much effort to listening to the Score makes me feel more like I'm seeking this out rather than doing it just because it's easy.

My mental state isn't ready to accept that I listen to this because I want to. I'm not going to do extra work to do it.

If you don't want to do extra work then don't bother with their website and the three or four clicks and waits for loads to get streaming started. I have had this link saved as a bookmark in winamp for years and it always works.

tunein puts the entire country's (and beyond) radio stations in your pocket. You can hit the SCORE, check out Mariotti and his saliva sounds on THE TEAM 1040 AM out of Tampa, or whatever strikes your fancy.

Dan Rea's nightside show on WBZ out of Boston is worth checking out.

I'm with you on that hate for the woman. I want that guy to stop her when she butts in and tell her "shut your yap, woman, men are talking business here".

Ken, whatever you use to muffle the sound of porn can be used in the same way with Bernstien.

You will never be able to look at porn the same way now that I have comingled these two.

You're right about the streamer, Doc. In fact, the ESPN streamer is equally shitty, but unlike WSCR, you can't stream ESPN with winamp. It's the main reason I just stick with WSCR (except the 8 o'clock hour; I don't care how shitty ESPN's streamer is, I will not suffer Mulligan).

The people who created those streamers are subhuman filth. They aren't even deserving of standard human compassion.

You don't even want to know what I'm thinking about when Bernsie starts going off on the wide 9, the all-22, a good hip turn, big black wangs (well, that one's pretty easy), or members of big black wangs.

Have to give a big thanks for the heads up on the tune in app/page for desktop. As I said always used it on iphone but started desktop yesterday. Not one drop, need to refresh or flat out close restart page like main stream. Very nice.

How does a behemoth like CBS approve their shitty ass websites? And is Mitch OK with the absolutely half-assed organization of podcasts. The podcasts through their webiste has terrible labeling, hours out of order, and only one day available.

It's depressing how the Score can be run so shitty and still moon pound ESPN.
