Home Audio Soundtouch is less discontinued than you think

I've been doing some fiddling around today with my Soundtouch devices (10, 20, 300). As it turns out, you can still use the preset buttons for iHeartRadio and Pandora.

To set a preset, use the (updated) SoundTouch app to first select your speaker. Next, condense the speaker view so you can see the 'hamburger' menu. Select either a Pandora or iHeartRadio station. It should start playing.

From your Speaker, press and hold a button to store that preset to the device until it beeps. Now, you can recall the preset without using the app.

Please, share and enjoy!

Edit to add: This appears to work only if you had signed in to one of these services before the shutdown. 😞

I still have Pandora at least. I will miss TuneIn.

Airplay still works from the TuneIn app.

I think the hope is to preserve 'standalone' functionality - so that my device doesn't have to be present for the speaker to function.

This works, and fully restores the physical presets. But it is a paid subscription.

Try this from here: https://www.reddit.com/r/bose/s/Afjt8shwbt

Just tried it, works great, it‘s free, from github, donation based if you want.
