To learn more about these devices, visit our Smart Speaker page. Unfortunately, each device uses different commands to perform the same function. The most common smart speakers are Amazon's Alexa, Google Home and Apple Homepod. They can answer questions, control other devices and play live and archive streams. 'Smart Speakers' are small audio appliances that connect to the Internet using Wi-Fi and are usually controlled by voice commands. Try using the addresses below for direct, non-secure connections. We've discovered that some internet radios cannot use our 'secure stream' addresses (listed above). Some Internet Radios also allow the user to enter a specific stream address. If that service does not include WPR's stations or the link doesn't work, contact the provider. Internet radios usually come with a subscription to a list of popular streaming sites such as 'vTuner'.
'Internet Radios' allow you to play an online audio stream through a radio-like appliance or application. These direct links are also found on the regular player pages where they're labeled 'Direct MP3 Stream'. Below are both MP3 and AAC direct links to our three Network Streams as well as our 'Special Events' stream (when it's being used). Some listeners prefer to use their own PC or Mac-based player (WinAmp, Windows Media Player, iTunes, etc.) So we also provide the secure 'direct MP3 address' for each live stream.
