TuneIn

  Dear Cyber-Line listeners:

I got an email from TuneIn @tunein telling me that due to "contractual obligations" they will be disabling the record function on the Tunein Pro app. This will become effective 14 September, 2020.

For at least 20 years. I've recommended Tunein to listen to radio stations around the world. Even though my show, Charley Jones, The John David Wells report and countless other shows have used Tunein to get their message out we still had the options of time shifting.

I have never been compensated for my suggestion to your purchase. I've received no percentage of sales. My only goal was to empower you with a great product that allowed you the freedom to consume information as you see fit!

When asked about Tunein I've always suggested to my listeners to pay the one time fee of $5.99 for the pro version. Charley Jones and many late night shows could now be recorded for daytime listening. Morning and afternoon shows like Jon-David Wells people are working and can't listen. If they can then the RF and buildings get in the way of AM reception.

As to my own show, I'm on the weekends. The time my listeners are spending is weekend time with family. I've never complained about recording the show. Much of my email is from listeners telling me how much they enjoyed the convenience.

On behalf of myself and the Cyber-Line @cyberlineusa crew I wish to apologize. Even though the fee wasn't $5.99 a month its still had value to you.

Tunein has posted a standard answer to the record button complaints. It's B.S. They are protecting their new pay to play service. If you're going to disable a product Tunein you should tell the truth!

Meanwhile, we will continue to report to you our dear listerners. We will still be on Tunein and will inform you of ways to exercise your freedom of information consumption via other products as they become known.

Thanks for listening!

********what i posted in app store********

I'm a nationally syndicated tech talk show host. I've recommended tune in pro for years so that listeners can record (MY OWN CONTENT THAT *I* OWN!) and play it later. I also use my iPad to record *MY* show and archive it.

I also record shows that are on at 2am my time I feel cheated and an idiot. Cheated because I paid for it. I feel like an idiot because I got my listeners to pay for it! You should refund the money we paid!

You're response blows. Your protecting you paid service. #refund #tuneinapp @tunein

As you can tell I have too much time on my hands and I don't use spell check.
