How this radio works
The station lists come from Radio Browser, a free, community-run index of internet radio stations. We keep only stations that stream over a secure (https) link, play in an ordinary web browser, and answered a test connection when the lists were last updated. Stations whose names match the genre, and stations from English-speaking countries, come first.
When you press a station, your browser connects straight to that station's server. The audio never passes through this site, and we never see what you listen to. Your favorites, recent stations and volume are saved in your browser only.
Why by genre and not by country?
Big radio directories list tens of thousands of stations by country and city. That is useful when you know the station you want. When you just want a certain kind of music, a short list of stations that play it is quicker. So each genre here has a hand-sized list, sorted so the most fitting stations come first.
More genres will follow. If there is one you would like to see, tell us at our contact page.
Free internet radio: frequently asked questions
Is this internet radio really free?
Yes. Every station plays for free, with no account and no time limit. The site has no ads today. Some stations play their own ads or station IDs between songs.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. It works in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Edge on phones, tablets and computers. Press a station to start it; phones do not let web pages start sound on their own.
Do I need an app or an account?
No. The radio plays in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer. There is nothing to install and nothing to sign up for.
Why does a station not play?
Internet stations go offline now and then, change their stream address, or block listeners outside their country. The list is checked before each update, but a stream can still fail. Press Next station to move on; the failed one is marked as offline until you reload the page.
Can I keep listening with my screen off?
Usually, yes. On most phones the audio keeps playing when you lock the screen, and you can stop it from the lock screen controls. Some phones pause web audio to save battery; keeping the browser tab open helps.
Where do the stations come from?
From Radio Browser, a free, community-run index of internet radio stations. We keep only stations that stream over a secure (https) link and answered a test connection when the list was last updated. The audio comes straight from each station to you; it never passes through this site.
