24/7 jazz to jazz up your mood

When you point your browser at WBGO.org, youre instantly connected to a live radio app streaming genuine jazz dedicated to the African American musical tradition 24/7. This is not an algorithm-driven playlist but rather the programming of an actual playlist DJ who knows how to drop hard bop and ease into blues. You can listen to the show when you are on the go, at your desk or after work is done. The audio maintains the same quality on Wi-Fi as on mobile data.

Real-time playlist ingeniously indicates whats spinning now and what was recently played, but some users say the now playing display seems to lag behind the live broadcast. At times, you will just have to wait for the DJ to announce the track before you can confirm it, the app does not support RDS so compatible devices will not automatically recognize songs. The streaming performance, nonetheless, is quite robust and stable.
