Weak music here.  Not enough Signal to ID anything, although I can tell that it's electronic dance music.

I have this here as well.  Signal level is about the same as the previous UNID on 6935, I'm thinking it is the same station with a change of musical genre.

General Radio Discussion / Running Android apps on a Windows PC

« on: May 14, 2015, 0304 UTC »

My cheap Android tablet died tonight while listening to XLR8.  Rather than make a late night run to Wal-Mart, I decided to see if there was a way to run Shazam on a Windows PC.  After a bit of searching, I found an Android emulator for Windows  called BlueStacks App Player.  Downloaded and installed it, logged into the Play Store with my Google account, and installed the Shazam app.  Everything worked perfectly and I was able to ID most of the obscure music that XLR8 played tonight.

Although I have only used it to run Shazam, the BlueStacks web site claims that it will run 96% of the Android apps out there. YMMV.
