What it does

• Hundreds of stations, every one tested before it went in: Nightride FM, SomaFM, Rainwave, Nectarine and many more.
• Song names. About half the stations (marked ♪ in the list) show the song playing now, on screen and on your lock screen. That includes Nightride FM, SomaFM, Rainwave and hundreds of laut.fm stations.
• Search. Type any part of a name or genre, like horror, ebm, nightride or 8-bit.
• Genre filters: 🌆 Synthwave, 🦇 Darkwave & Goth, 🎹 Synth-Pop & New Wave, 👾 Chiptune & Game, plus ★ Favorites.
• Sort A → Z, Z → A, by genre, recently played, favorites first, or random.
• Shuffle. Tap 🔀 to jump to a random station from the list you're looking at. ⏭ picks another; ⏮ goes back. If a station is down, shuffle skips to the next one by itself.
• Favorites. Tap ☆ on any station.
• Saved songs. Tap 🤍 while a song plays to keep it, then find it later on YouTube, YouTube Music or Spotify. Back it up to a folder once and every save or removal is copied there by itself, in a list file of this device's own (phone, tablet or PC), so devices sharing a synced folder never overwrite each other.
• Share the app with the button at the bottom.
• Cast to speakers with the cast button (Chrome on Android or a computer). Disconnect and the music carries on on your phone.
• Lock screen controls, including skip to the next station.
• Keeps playing through drop-outs and reconnects by itself.
• Opens instantly, even offline, once added to your home screen.

Stations marked older link only have an http:// address. Phones usually won't play those from a secure page, so shuffle skips them unless you're casting.

Privacy

No accounts. Favorites, saved songs and settings stay on your device. A cookie-free counter (GoatCounter) counts visits to the page; nothing personal is collected.
