#Free radio player am how to#

TBH I would suggest using your stations website to share info on where to get the best media players for each device from and how to set them up…īear in mind though that older Android devices may not have enough memory to run TuneIn (it gathers a lot of data presumably for advertisers and to buffer the stream).

Such devices are popular with North Europeans as they already have a culture of listening to radio (often a larger size set with good audio quality) via a cable as the PTT (telecom company) provided this service alongside cable TV.Īs a religious station you may have an advantage as religion teaches younger people to help the elders, and to be patient and put effort into getting results. Their online listeners are going to range from tech savvy kids to middle aged folk who invested in a first generation internet radio which usually only plays back MP3 streams (newer ones will do AAC+, but will also receive DAB and they have licenses for both DAB+ and analogue MF (AM) – I can receive the analogue MF signal in England quite easily, albeit subject to noise/atmospherics).

They do have an Android app but its shared with all the other worldwide franchises and when I tried it it always reset to the American stream rather than stay on the Dutch one… RMNL share two links, one has an online browser player, the other is the raw link to their server which will work with any device but has to be cut and pasted. Unfortunately the ecosystems of these are made to nudge online broadcasters towards coding their own unique aps, and no one wants to share an app that just works as a media player for all streams without delivering some adverts (which may not be in line with your beliefs/principles, and are an annoyance anyway). Is there a solution for the smartphone and tablet streaming? It is wonderful to have all the browsers working. I think (am not 100% sure) the “black page with the player” might be the low bitrate version for mobile devices, which only contains the PVR streams anyway rather than the others although they have mobile links 562579 wrote:

TBH if I want to listen to an online radio station I’d use one of those lists like you posted and my own local software rather than the built in players as I am curious about such things as formats, bitrates etc (I thought SLAM!FM was using a low bitrate!) and many of the players don’t seem to work with android (I don’t want to have to install an app for each station and Tune In uses too much memory for smaller devices). (I prefer sites that do not suddenly blare out music without warning in case you are listening to them at work, or maybe listening to something else) – or even use WordPress as a “wrapper” for all the different forums (that is how I would do such a thing, as anything else gets too complicated for me).Įven many radio station sites with embedded players go pear shaped if you move from one bit of the site to the other, the stream is interrupted and/or restarts.

Maybe you could link the player from a forum menu in such a way it appears in a new tab/window, so the users can still get back to the original forum without risking stopping the stream. With this you can put the player on a separate page or a “custom HTML widget” with the iframe and it works, at least for PC’s with Windows/Linux (my Android tablet just shows some box looking for a plugin but doesn’t say what it is). TBH I got the impression this player is intended more for those who aren’t as skilled as you are with coding and use CMS software like WordPress (some versions of which can integrate with forums).
