I’ve finally had enough of 6 Music. They play some great music but the waffle makes me want to eat the radio. So I’m streaming internet radio on my phone during the day at work. But how much is this likely to kill my data? What’s the sum I need to do?

Maybe just run it for a week and look at your data usage in settings? Fwiw I stream stuff for a few hours daily and it doesn't touch the sides. If you have more than a couple of Gb allowance you'll be fine.

Depends on quality but 60Mb/h is typical. So 8hrs at work could be 0.5Gb/day. If you’re doing that every day it’s going to add up.

Hmm, thanks. Will keep an eye on it.

The station I listen to is called Ibiza Sonics, running through their app. No ads, no bugging you to log in. Minimal bloody waffle and what there is is usually in Spanish or Catalan so still sounds cool even if you don’t understand it. But most importantly: awesome music 🎶

I have nothing to add other than a big thank you for this!

I'm an old git currently "living" at our place by the sea and this is literally perfect for what we tend to have on in the background.

Got it playing through Sonos as well which is an added bonus!

Glad you like it. I love it. I made a typo for anyone else looking, it’s Ibiza Sonica. It’s basically chill/balearic in the day and tech/house at night.
