Audacy to Restrict Streaming to their App only

pjc1961 said:
There have been announcements that have appeared this past weekend on Audacy's station streams
regarding those streams soon ("in a few days") only being available on the "Free Audacy App".

Along with the likely end of streaming via streamtheworld.com direct URLs (as Audacy has been converting to their own AmperWave platform),
there could be possible future coding of AmperWave streams to make a URL available for only one listening session (or none),
which might have ramifications for Internet Radios and smart speakers.
Also means the end of Audacy streams appearing on various streaming aggregators (such as OnlineRadioBox.com, etc.).

("AmperWave" comes from Audacy's acquisition of Wide Orbit Digital Audio in October 2021.)

As of this post, here's what's available to use to stream via direct URLs copied+pasted in to various media players:

Using WFAN New York as an example:

>>>http://playerservices.streamtheworld.com/api/livestream-redirect/WFANAMAAC.aac<<< (likely to go away soon)
>>>http://live.amperwave.net/direct/audacy-wfanamaac-imc<<< (AmperWave streaming added in Spring 2022)
>>>http://live.amperwave.net/direct/audacy-wfanammp3-imc<<< (MP3 stream)

Using KROQ-HD2 L.A.'s "Roq of the 80s" channel as an example:

>>>http://playerservices.streamtheworld.com/api/livestream-redirect/KROQHD2AAC.aac<<< (likely to go away soon)
>>>http://live.amperwave.net/direct/audacy-kroqhd2aac-imc<<< (AmperWave streaming added in Spring 2022)
>>>http://live.amperwave.net/direct/audacy-kroqhd2mp3-imc<<< (MP3 stream)

Will be interesting to see which streaming URLs are in use after the exclusivity kicks in
or if there will be new ones that make it more difficult to capture. Stay tuned...

https://live.amperwave.net/manifest/audacy-kroqhd2aac-hlsc.m3u8 also works, and that solved my unrecordability problem.
 
That's the beauty of the "Grace" internet radios, they have separate apps for i-heart, Audacy, and SIRIUS XM, everything comes in!
