Are there plans to add track metadata to the stream? I don’t use TuneIn so I am unsure if it is on there.
Having the band name and the track title would be great if I am unable to write down what the host reads off.
Hi Dylan, Which way are you listening to us? If you do it through our website the song info shows up in the pop-up window.
I usually listen to the stream through my music player on my computer or through a radio app on my phone.
The metadata that shows up is usually, “Non-music: ProgramTitle” where “ProgramTitle” is something like Jazzfest Detroit or Maxology, but never the track or band.
Oh ok, with JazzFest and Maxology the hosts are playing music off their CDs, not playing from our computer system so the info isn’t there for the display. We have been adding more jazz to our database though so maybe sometime in the future they can use the database and the info will be displayed.
Understood, thank you!
I have enjoyed WRCJ on my desktop for many years, and a few yeara ago got the mobile app on my I-phone, to take with me to other rooms. For several days now, however, it only plays for about 2 minutes, and then cuts out — not just no music, but the app seems closed, and phone goes to home screen. I can repeat opening it, etc., but that’s not reasonable. Any ideas on what’s wrong? I’m not very tech savvy, but can usually manage simple things.
PS — I’m a long-time donor of an automatic monthly payment.
Hello Nancy, well it’s good to hear the app was a nice addition for you. At least until this strange occurrence. Can you try deleting the app and reinstalling it? Thanks for being a sustainer!
Thanks for replying. I had tried that to no avail, but a couple of days ago, Apple “updated software” on my phone. I had to sort out some changes, but now I find that your app is fine!
Thanks for replying — all is well now. Thanks for being there day and night!
Glad it’s all sorted out. Time to relax with some music!
On hearing Mozart/Keith Jarrett I remember this article that appeared in the NYT today-
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/21/arts/music/keith-jarrett-piano.html?searchResultPosition=1
very sad
That is sad to hear. How unfortunate.
Dave Wagner has been a favorite of mine since WQRS days! I noticed that a lot of the creative types at my ad agency listened to classical music at work, so I gave it a try. Loved it then and since. Dave always brightens my day with his wry humor. So glad to have you all at my fingertips!
Thank you Diana for the note. We’re thankful you gave classical a try!
Maxine Michaels is the best DJ across the board around the world!!! MAD LOVE! Perpetually
Thank you Mark, she is grateful to have you as a listener!
This music continues to bring me joy and inspiration. I’m looking for a wise musician to be a friend and pupil of and find the community of musicians and technicians to learn to play and maintain instruments better!! I love this station!
Thank you Mark! It might be hard to connect with people right now but things should get easier once corona is no longer an issue. The WRCJ family is a nice community.
I like the sound of that. There is still hope.
I love listening to WRCJ either on my desktop or my Echo Dot but sometimes first thing in the morning there seems to be something wrong with the signal which intermittently cuts out or sometimes turns off . I wonder if there is something I can do to correct this or what the cause may be . Thank you 😊
Hi Laurie, we will look into that. Is there a specific time that happens?
WRCJ has been the bright spot in an otherwise dismal year. While I have been a somewhat regular listener, this has been my steady companion nearly every day since March. I love the variety of classical music they play and you can always be sure that it is on in my house. Even at work, I moved computer speakers to our public computer so I could listen to it during the day.
WRCJ is a ray of sunshine in an overcast and dreary time. Thank you for everything you do.
Oh that’s very nice of you Corey, thank you. It certainly has been a difficult year but thank you for bringing us to work with you and it’s nice to know we’ve been a little bit of happiness for you.
Yep! Found this radio station since I stopped working in Toledo and now working from home (Newport, MI). Love this sound: Darius Milhaud and others cond. – L’homme et son desir
We’re pleased you found us, thanks for listening!
I recently moved back to Michigan after living in Chicago for 15 years. At first I thought I must have opened my Chicago broadcast link because I heard Carl’s voice! Hi Carl––so nice to be listening to you in Michigan today!
That’s funny! No it really is WRCJ just with a visiting Carl.

Good morning! My daughter and I listen to this station every morning in the summer for at least 5 years while we sit and read our books and tend to my roses. My husband and I learned the other day that our very good friend Jeff Fanning passed away the other day. He was a drummer and responsible for my husband and I getting back together and eventually getting married. Could you maybe play Ode to Joy or the 1812 Overture for him? Give him a glorious sendoff to heaven . . .
Hi Colleen, sorry to hear that. We will mention it to the Music Director. We appreciate your family listening and good luck to your roses!
Hello, wonderful WRCJ people! I love this radio station and all that it does for the community, but is there any way to get the hosts to stop Bigfooting the station id every time it airs? I assume it’s a syncing issue that can be resolved easily. Every day, people all over the world accidentally find this station, and don’t know what they are listening to because our delightful station ids aren’t heard. Thanks!
Hi Tamara, sorry about that, it’s a new issue that’s appeared since broadcasting remotely. We have an idea for a fix…
I thought of describing life in a nutshell, and came to a hasty conclusion that, it’s won zany ride…..!!! made no less zany, by the likes of, Mr. Dave Wagner….!!! Thanks to everyone involved, perpetrators, and donators alike, for providing this gorgeous music….!!!! it makes my day….!!!!!!( without the punk)….!!!!
I will continue my support, when available…!!! Highly recommended….!!!! keep UP,…… the good work, n b safe, everyone….!!!!
Thanks also to you Edward, we appreciate it!
Was trapped in my car waiting to donate at the local donation center. Scanned the channels and came across a lively little tune involving a french horn melody. When I got home, I thought, “Wow, I wasted 45 minutes.” Then I thought, “No, it was not a waste. You had the opportunity to listen to fine music.” Thank you WRCJ.
That’s a good way to look at it. Good for you for donating, thank you for taking us along.
MS. D ALEXANDER WAS THAT MCCOY TYNER YOU PLAYED BTW. 2:30AM AND 3:00. ABOUT THAT TIME ANYWAY ON JULY 23.
Hi Kenneth, we didn’t see McCoy Tyner on Dee’s show but John Hill played “Walk Spirit, Talk Spirit” by Tyner on the 23rd.
just wanted to let someone know that i lost my radio connection to wrcj. it’s just static on the fm airwaves. thanks. thought you would like to know.
Hi Gary, we are working on our transmitter so we had to switch to our backup which isn’t as strong. We hope to return to full power soon. Sorry about that!
After leaving a dear friend in hospital last night, Getting into my car exhausted, Maxine had the perfect tune playing. Thank you Maxine.
Please tell me who was performing June 26 at approx 8:13 pm.
cheers!
Hello Angie, Maxine says “about 8:15pm was the Detroit Tenors, Tanga. Before it was Freddie Hubbard A Night In Tunsia and after Tanga was Phillip Bailey Red Clay. Thanks Again!” https://youtu.be/Ep6GxcclJA4
I would like to know the name of beautiful Gregorian chant (?) music at 5 or 6 AM Saturday. Thank you
Hello Susan, on that program the host was playing selections from the Sixteen’s newest Palestrina cd which you can sample here: https://thesixteenshop.com/products/palestrina-volume-8
Love the channeling of Eartha Kitt purring “Marrrrcusss” from Boomerang! Great one.
Thanks Alan!
What was the clarinet piece that played around 12:50? Super pretty!!
Hello Caitlin, thanks! That was Franz Anton Hoffmeister’s “Clarinet Quartet in E flat Major” performed by the members of the Vlach Quartet of Prague. Here’s the cd: http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/Playlist?source=WRCJ&date=202006161239
Welcome to the BIG HOUSE Carl!!!
What do you call an uncertain pollinator?

Ha ha, that’s a good one!
How do you buy CD’s from your playlist?
Hello Shirley, we’ve been having trouble with the buy now links connecting to the Arkiv store but if you want to visit it, the store is here: http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/main.jsp
Listening to Falla – La Vida Breve: Act II: Intro & Dance) right now — holy cow, this is invigorating, heh. It’s the late afternoon jolt I needed 🙂
Thanks for tuning in, go ahead and dance along with the music if you like!
Thank you for keeping me company in my lonely workplace.
Glad to do it Mary. At least there’s no one to swipe your lunch.
The Nyman The Piano Concerto is awesome. Thanks for introduction!
Sure Daniel, it’s always nice when we can introduce a listener to some new music they enjoy!
Hi WRCJ team—What way do you recommend setting up to be able to listen to WRCJ on the Amazon Echo/Alexa? Thanks.
Hi Tim, you can try asking for us by name or frequency. This page offers some more info: https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/how-to-listen-to-the-radio-on-your-amazon-echo
Happy St. David’s Day, Jack Goggin!
Cymru am byth!
And to you as well!
Hope the new “listen live” web app is going away soon. I miss being able to backup and catch the announcers comments about a piece on the previous version.
Love the music mix and particularity that it is just not the best hits of Beethoven and Mozart.
Hi Gary, My apologies – we were having some issues with the popup on certain browsers. But I’ve added it back into this page – see the link at the bottom. Or you can click here – Open the PopUp Player!
Thank you so much! I will bookmark it.
Listen thru windows media player and you can do that
Please
Bach suites for guitar……relaxing
String Quartets….relaxing
Thank you!
Relaxing coming up!
I’m listening right now to Linda Yohn and she is AWESOME! She’s playing N.O. Jazz the Sunday before Mardi Gras and she is in the groove! I could listen to her selections night after night. She’s one of the best Jazz DJ’s in the business. The very best! Keep it up.She truly knows her stuff.
Blessings,
Tom L
Thanks Tom, Linda appreciates it!
I was having a lousy day until I tuned in Saturday night, 25 February, for your celebration of New Orleans. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
No problem, glad it helped!
I had my recorder on FM couple years ago and picked up a rendition of the Strayhorn
tune “Daydream” by a tenor, trumpet, bass and drum group. Unfortunately, I never
caught the name of the band.
I still have the recording but i’ve never found the group’s name though I’ve searched the
net for quite awhile.
The arrangement smacks strongly of Mulligan but I’ve never known him to use a tenor
and, I’ve entered him and various trumpet pairs without a hit.
If nothing else, point me in a direction…Thanks
Hi Ron, that version doesn’t ring a bell… maybe one of our Jazz hosts has a lead!
I have a Logitech Smart Radio (Internet). It can not locate the link as posted.
Do you have a solution for me?
I’m guessing most of these internet radio devices use TuneIn?
The URL is http://tun.in/seqtq.
