Description
The legacy vTuner directory became unavailable on many receivers and your Denon, Marantz or other receiver lost Internet Radio. Retune·FM brings the stations back — one DNS setting, no app, free. It's also a full web catalog and player: ~59,000 stations browsable by genre and country, ranked by real listening time, with hi-res streams, an in-browser equalizer, curated collections and an embeddable widget.

Could you build this?
Partial The web catalog and player are simple, but reliably maintaining a reverse-engineered DNS/API spoofing service that mimics legacy vTuner protocol for proprietary AV receivers requires specialized hardware-protocol reverse engineering.
What it would actually take: Requires reverse-engineering the proprietary HTTP/XML APIs that legacy Denon and Marantz firmware expect when contacting vTuner servers, alongside hosting custom DNS servers. The stack would involve a DNS server (like CoreDNS) returning custom IP mappings, an API emulation backend matching legacy XML payloads, and a background crawler maintaining live stream availability for 50,000+ stations.
