WWOZ 90.7FM New Orleans Reviews

WWOZ is a great station and I really want to love WWOZ907FMNewOrleans more than I do, but there are two glaring omissions that I think are holding it back. First, it doesn’t display the name of the title, artist and album of the song that’s playing. I really wish it did. Second, it doesn’t support Apple CarPlay. I’d love to have WWOZ907FMNewOrleans appear in CarPlay as it’s own icon, like IHeartRadio does. I did find that if I start WWOZ907FMNewOrleans on the iPhone first, then connect the phone to my car stereo over Bluetooth, I can stream from WWOZ907FMNewOrleans to the stereo, but to have it behave like a real CarPlay app, along with displaying the titles, would make it perfect.

I use WWOZ907FMNewOrleans all day every say. The live stream. The archive! Music is always healing, perfect. Makes me feel connected to my favorite place on Earth - New Orleans.

My fave DJs are Baba Geno, David Kunian, Leslie Cooper, Soul Sister, Dj Rootzmaster.

I hope in time they get the archive accessible in WWOZ907FMNewOrleans . It would also be cool for the shows to have tags for themes the DJs did on an episode (like David Kunian’s Sun Ra shows or Holiday music, etc).

Bad thing about WWOZ907FMNewOrleans is the stream stops A LOT. I’m always having to open my phone to restart it or close and open WWOZ907FMNewOrleans again. This happens online too. Hope they find the resources to get it fixed! Thanks for your hard work!

Don’t know if new iOS is the reason but app now crashes immediately after launching even after reinstalling.

So the recent update seems to only play their WWOZ-2 channel, not their actual live broadcast, which is disappointing.
I like that I can listen to their second channel, which is Louisiana Music all the time, but I want to be able to listen to the current programs on the live broadcast, too.

The mighty sound of New Orleans, piping hot into your room. If your spirit moves deep in the groove, this station is for you.

WWOZ907FMNewOrleans gives me the best music and the best dialogue. Thank you and keep it up.

I mean it, I have been a Jazz musician for 40 plus years and I am here to tell you WWOZ IS!!! the best Jazz Station anywhere period. What is so unique about WWOZ is the DJ's who in many cases are muscians themselfs bring in their own musical collections so you will hear stuff that will not be heard anywhere else. When the hurricane Katrina destoried WWOZ's studio their audio archives went with it. They appealed to their listeners for past recordings of WWOZ's shows it is a tribute to those fans the complete archives where restored. If ever there is a radio statrion that is a national treasure WWOZ is it. The only problem is I live in Cheyenne, Wyoming and I don't have much of chance to visit the locations mentioned by the station.....groan 8^)

App made for iPhone. App lets you listen to 3 channels. Everything else is internet links.

I'm a local (Nola) trucker and I listen all day long. App is great for when I go out of town, just hook my phone to the radio.

Only things I'd love to see are the playlist on WWOZ907FMNewOrleans home screen rather than having to go to the web page. At least a "now playing." Also a "now playing" on the lock screen would be awesome (like with the iPod)

Works perfectly. I use it at work where I can't pickup wwoz on a radio. I also use it when I travel so I can still listen to my favorite station.

I just tried the WWOZ app on my iPad, and it didn't sound like it was streaming in stereo. I went straight to the WWOZ site in Safari, clicked on the 128kb stereo stream on the same iPad, and that stream was clearly stereo. That confirmed it: WWOZ907FMNewOrleans is not playing a stereo stream.

Of course, I'm willing to bet that the quality of stream can be changed without touching WWOZ907FMNewOrleans , so this may not be the case at some other time. But today on this Fat Tuesday 2013, I'm going to ditch WWOZ907FMNewOrleans in favor of the stream from the WWOZ web site.

I attended first weekend of 'Fest this year and everyday we listened to OZ when back at the room. Being able to listen back in OH through my phone and record to mini-disc for enjoyment later is a real treat. Song titles/artists would be a plus if you could add that. Thank WWOZ! Happy Jazzfest!!

Love WWOZ. From Nola, but don't currently live there and it makes me so happy to have this radio station on my phone!
However, It would be great if WWOZ907FMNewOrleans would have the name of the song they were playing displayed somewhere on WWOZ907FMNewOrleans !

Blues Eclectic, Kitchen Sink, New Orleans Music Show, Mass Distraction & so many more of my favorite radio shows are accessible anywhere I go (granted there's cell service). Love WWOZ907FMNewOrleans!

I came from Nola and I miss OZ, so when I can I stream it from my laptop. But when I must I use WWOZ907FMNewOrleans , and it's seriously bad. It streams music for about ten minutes at a time at which point I have to close WWOZ907FMNewOrleans altogether then start it up again.
I love the music, I need it. Please fix it so I can have a piece of home back. Thank you.

this is the true magic of apps, limited only by the availability of 3G. If more knew they could listen to WWOZ this easily, folks would demand more 3G.

App works perfectly and now i can have one of the best parts of my favorite city with me all the time! Thanks WWOZ!

Used to enjoy listening to this station on the web...it's a great idea to have a simple app to listen on the phone - until next year's Jazz Fest!

Would be better with the live music calendar.

Please fix WWOZ907FMNewOrleans , I love listening in but every 30 sec it stops streaming audio then starts then stops.. All my other streaming works what's up?? Also if there was something showing what song was playing would be cool. But really just a fixed update would be awesome..

Its the little things in life. Since leaving NOLA in the late 80's I've been trying get OZ wherever I am - at work, in the car, in bed, around the house, in the shower, in the yard, on my bike and on the go. I have pretty well got things covered but now that I have Apple Watch I need for OZ to be available for streaming on iOS devices. With Apple Remote I am able to get this work at home but not on the go. If OZ can make this happen, I am set for life.
