You know you don't have to pay to listen to the feeds right?Just re-upped for a 6 month subscription. Definitely protect your business first, but I wouldn't mind a member feed option that works in vlc
Download BlueStacks on your Desktop or Laptop. Then go to Google Play & Download Scanner Radio & Broadcastify. Works Great. Can also run other things too. like Pulsepoint.

This made my computer lag so bad I had to uninstall it, you'll need a fast and powerful pc to use it.
I was occasionally using VLC or Winamp to check my feed and verify that the alpha tags are working. I noticed tonight that the links in the "Player selection" drop down list for Winamp and VLC are not working.
I found this thread and now know why the links are dead. I was wondering if there are any other players that support alpha tags? Do any of the phone apps support them? If there are no longer any players that support alpha tags I should probably just turn them off. If they are still supported it would be nice to add alpha tag support into the player on the "manage feed" page.
Also, since these VLC and Winamp links are no longer working you may want to remove them from the drop down list on your live feed listing web page.

Winamp still works for me. It's just the URLs change very frequently.
Yup Winamp and VLC work just fine.
How are you getting the URL? I'm using the live feed listing page and have a non functional link. See attached pic.

I am using the same method you are.
Thank you! I still have no success.
I tried using right click on the listen icon and then save to desktop. No luck with Winamp. Next I tried switching my default player to Windows media player and saved the link to the desktop (I've set the WMP file association to use VLC). VLC also failed to play the audio stream. Also, I cleared my browser cache (Firefox) and then tried using Internet Explorer. I even tried to play the stream using another computer that had Winamp installed. Still no luck Could you test my feed with Winamp or VLC and see if you can connect to my feed? It might be a problem with my ISP. They apply some strange IP filtering rules to my network traffic. Some ports are A-OK. traffic to other ports are intermittently blocked.
Below is a screen capture with the feed info.

It works here using WinAmp. At first it didn't work when I clicked on your Audio Feed Provider badge that brought me here https://www.radioreference.com/apps/user/?uid=761458
I had to click on the feed link https://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/15426 then it worked.
Your alpha tags work fine on Scanner Radio Pro on my phone
Why not use ScannerLive:
ScannerLive (ScannerLive) - Turn your PC into an online-feed scanner to listen to up to 10 feeds as the same time! Official ScannerLive Forum and RR ScannerLive Forum
My guess is people are somewhat wary of it. Reason being no activity in their forums for almost a year. No support on the RR forums because Rob is banned. Can't say I can blame them for being a bit apprehensive about the app.

Not to mention, it isn't free.
Thank you!
I had an older version. I just updated to 5.666 and am now able to play my feed.
FYI, the VLC player is still not working. I'm using V2.2.6 of VLC.
I should probably put a mention in my feed notes about my player problems and which players/versions that I've been able to use to view alpha tags. It's only been a few months since I upgraded the scanner to one that supports alpha tags. If listeners can't view the tags this was just wasted money
Does anyone know if any phone or tablet apps support alpha tags? I should put that in the notes.
I'm old fashioned and prefer to listen with a desktop PC. My listener stats show that nearly all of my listeners are using Android or IOS. Without an app with alpha tags, it's likely that I'm the only one seeing them.
