What is Simple Radio Online?

Radio in the browser usually means a tab full of ads. Simple Radio Online keeps the player in Chrome's side panel: open it, click a station, and keep working. The music goes on when you switch tabs or close the panel.

Frequently asked questions

Is it free?

Yes. Every feature is free, with no account, no subscription and no ads added by us. Some stations play their own commercials, as they do on air.

Which stations do I see first?

The popular stations of your country, chosen from stations that played reliably in our regular checks. The country is detected automatically, and you can switch to any other country.

How many stations are there?

About 30,000 from all over the world. Search them by a station's name, a city or a style.

Which genres can I choose?

News, pop, rock, dance, hip-hop, oldies, jazz and blues, classical, chill, talk, sport, country and folk, Latin, Christian and kids' radio.

Where do the stations come from?

From our station catalog, rebuilt every night from the public Radio Browser directory, keeping only streams that play in Chrome. The sound and the logos come directly from each station.

Does it keep playing when I close the side panel?

Yes, until you stop it or close Chrome.

Can I switch stations quickly?

Yes. Use the previous and next buttons in the panel or the media keys on your keyboard; one click mutes the sound.

Will my saved stations from the old version stay?

Yes. Stations saved in version 2 become favourites the first time version 3 starts.

Why does a station not play?

Stations go offline, move their streams or allow listeners only from their own country. Press play again or choose another station; the catalog is checked every night.
