Live streaming Radio Baha’i, WLGI is now easier, with better quality, and is more mobile friendly than ever. We have just completed a significant upgrade to our live streaming system, with you in mind. We have a new player that will stream the station in your browser with two streaming bandwidths to choose from.

Try it out, let us know what you think, and share with your friends. After all, we can’t help you with building spiritual communities if people in your community aren’t listening.

New Player
The browser based player means you no longer need other software, like Windows Media Player, VLC, or iTunes to stream Radio Baha’i on your computer, and you no longer need to use TuneIn on your mobile device. You can, of course, keep using those if you want.

Scan this with a QR code scanner and the player will open automatically in your mobile device.

The player will launch a new browser window that displays the album art, artist and song title for the current song, and displays the artist and title for the last five songs or programs that were played. The player will automatically choose the best stream coding for your computer, phone or tablet, and browser. You can then choose the bandwidth that works for you from the drop down menu. “WLGI High” will give you the best sound (48 kbps), while “WLGI Low” will use the least amount of your data plan (24 kbps), or work best with slow data speeds.

We suggest that when you are on wifi or connected by cable of some kind to the Internet, use the “WLGI High” stream. If you are on a mobile device on the cellular network, or if you are experiencing any drop outs, then choose “WLGI Low”.

Some people might prefer to use the mobile version of the player on your desktop/laptop computer. If you click on the link here, it will force the mobile version to load.

Tell us about any problems you see - this is a beta test and we need your feedback to get it right.
