I was attracted to this widget by the nifty 'cathedral radio' icon. It reminded me of the one on which I listened to these shows as a child. After opening VRS I discovered that it contains twelve sample shows (well chosen; excellent audio) along with a link to subscribe, at $7.95 per month, to unlimited library access. I feel that the developer needs to call this a Demo rather than Freeware. Calling it the latter, then offering to sell me 99% of it, smacks of 'Bait-and-Switch'. At approximately a hundred dollars a year, as much as I like old time radio, I will stick with the truly free stuff on iTunes Radio.

Does this work for anyone?
All I get is the spinning wheel inside the radio......

I just downloaded this widget. No problems for me- it works well.

Funny.... I had to upload the shows to iTunes, from their web site, after clicking subscribe, on the back of the widget, to listen to them.... it's still free, but I expected to receive the stream from the widget itself....

That is odd. When I downloaded and opened VRS all I had to do was choose one of the twelve sample shows using the option button and push the arrow button on the icon (radio) face; then I was listening to "Hopalong Cassidy".- OK, I just downloaded and reinstalled VRS as before. With the same show playing (H.C.), I flipped the widget and hit the subscribe button to see what happens and also was directed to iTunes as were you. Apparently that subscribe button (if one isn't really subscribing) just adds the selected show to your iTunes library ( but only from those twelve free samples). If you really do want to subscribe, try the 'visit site'
button. If you just want the free part of the widget, stay on its front side.

"the arrow button on the icon (radio) face"-

Ah ha! On my downloaded radio, there is no arrow button, just a spinning wheel in the white circle in center of the front of the radio.

I'm not sure why I care anymore, because I did download all the free shows to iTunes, in the method you described.... but I've always been the curious sort... I'll try to re-download and see what happens.... thanks for the reply...
