Radio

Internet radio stations have a name, an address and optionally a picture. Each card plays one station.

In the library open Radio and tap Add station:

  • Search. With the plugin Radio directories (on from the setup; Settings → Plugins switches it off) the dialog searches radio-browser.info, an open directory. Type a name or a topic such as “kinder”; stations are listed with logo, country and bitrate. Without a search term, the popular stations of your country appear. One tap adds a station. What you type is sent to radio-browser.info.
  • By address. Add by address takes the address of the stream. It may also be an .m3u or .pls file from the station’s website; the box finds the stream in it.

The menu next to the button imports and exports lists of stations as .m3u files, the format that radio apps use.

Play the station and tap the card button in the player, or choose Play radio when registering a card in the card list.

The player shows the station’s picture and name, and what the station says about itself: the current title, as far as it is sent. A stream that drops out is reconnected by itself.

Stations you listened to last are listed under Library → Continue. Its menu can remove an entry from that list (the station stays). The same list holds audiobooks and podcasts.
