For some reason this site redirects you to the insecure version (HTTP). So if you are using HTTPS everywhere, you will get stuck in a refresh loop.<p>See this snippet of code from an inline script in the page source:<p><pre><code> var isNative = &#x2F;RadioGarden&#x2F;i.test(window.navigator.userAgent); if (!isNative) if (&quot;https:&quot; === window.location.protocol) window.location.protocol = &quot;http:&quot;; else { ... }</code></pre>

From 2013-2020 I found myself listening to radio stations on the regular while the rest of my friends were busying themselves with Spotify. In the beginning, it was because I moved to a rural area where FM radio was more reliable than the internet. Later, it was because I could not stream reliably on my phone as I passed through ~80 miles of countryside each way to work for 3 days every week. This has given me an appreciation of FM radio, especially local radio, that&#x27;s unique among my peers.<p>I absolutely love this website. I like that my own local radio stations are on this. I like that radio stations from around the world are on this. It&#x27;s awesome!<p>For the DC metro area, local favorites are:<p>- WETA 90.9 <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;radio.garden&#x2F;listen&#x2F;weta-fm&#x2F;Jei27SwN" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;radio.garden&#x2F;listen&#x2F;weta-fm&#x2F;Jei27SwN</a><p>- WPFW 89.3 <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;radio.garden&#x2F;listen&#x2F;wpfw-fm-89-3&#x2F;ninSp4px" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;radio.garden&#x2F;listen&#x2F;wpfw-fm-89-3&#x2F;ninSp4px</a><p>I take it these are all radio stations that also do internet streaming. There is something similar that I&#x27;ve wondered about for a long time. Is there any easy to build or off-the-shelf device that I could use to stream FM radio on my local network? Say for example, I want to listen to FM radio while in the basement, but the reception is poor. Does there exist an FM tuner that I could mount in the attic window for best reception, connect via Ethernet, and then tune&#x2F;stream whatever is playing to a client device down in the basement?

So many stations, so little time. I discovered radio.garden a few years ago, and then so many amazing stations, sometimes hobbyist, sometimes around the world. Yes it&#x27;s a bit buggy, but it&#x27;s also the perfect ui. IIR, it started as a uni project but now attempting to monetize. People pay for algorithmic playlists over free and lovingly hand-picked, and I just don&#x27;t get it. For me at least, it&#x27;s not even close.

I found this site earlier from a twitter thread, and one of the replies was for <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;driveandlisten.herokuapp.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;driveandlisten.herokuapp.com&#x2F;</a> which is pretty cool too. Less locations but you get driving video along with the radio stations.

this is so unbelievably cool. the patterns of station concentration in africa are really interesting to consider. its almost like a summary of the entire political&#x2F;economic situation on the continent. really good music too.

Very cool! I plan on using this with my oculus quest and the wander app. It uses google street view imagery in VR and I walk around cities around the world since I love travel so much but there was something missing and this was it! I’m going to Reykjavik tomorrow in the app and listening to Reykjavik radio at the same time.

Is anyone else unable to access the site? I&#x27;m currently on Firefox 85.0.2 (Arch Linux). I&#x27;ve tried disabling advanced privacy guard but I still get stuck in an infinite refresh loop :-(

You&#x27;ll find a lot of world-wide streams (29000+) stations here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.radio-browser.info&#x2F;#!&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.radio-browser.info&#x2F;#!&#x2F;</a><p>Most links are provided by users. Checked for availability each day. Search by city, country, genre, format, tag, etc. Link to stream is on the right.

Here&#x27;s a RN codebase you can adapt for an iOS native app. In fact, you could just pilfer some of the code and do Android, Web and iOS at the same time using Expo.[1]<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;code.habd.as&#x2F;comfusion&#x2F;lumpen-radio" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;code.habd.as&#x2F;comfusion&#x2F;lumpen-radio</a>

I’ve been using this site and app for over an year, and love it! I wish it had more radio stations though!

I have shared this before, this my IceCast stream ripper which lets you download radio as MP3 and it is open source:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;stream-subscription-ui.herokuapp.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;stream-subscription-ui.herokuapp.com&#x2F;</a><p>But this one is very cool. Thank you for sharing.

Really bad coding on this site, it just put my tab on a infinite reload loop (configuration: Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix, CleanURLs, and Cookie Auto Delete blocking all third parties).

Anyone bothered that this website is rated by Chrome as insecure? Low level alert, relatively . . . still . . ?
