Features
Everything RadioScout does: discovery, library, player, personal setup and the Android shell.
Discover
Find a station in seconds
The whole radio-browser.info directory, filtered to streams that actually play.
- Web + APK
Worldwide directory
The top 50 stations by votes plus full-text search with up to 50 results, in one catalogue on web and APK.
- Web + APK
Search + genre chips
Name search with shareable URLs (/?q=, /?tag=), a one-tap genre rail and recent searches under the search box.
- Web + APK
Language filter
Top-40 quick picks plus the full directory list. Empty means worldwide; applies to charts and results.
- Web + APK
Quality filter
A minimum bitrate cutoff for search and Most loved. Saved stations always show, whatever their bitrate.
Library
Stays on your device
Favourites, history and stats live in IndexedDB on your device. No accounts, no sync, and it works offline.
- Web + APK
Saved favourites
Pin stations to the top of home and drag them into order. The order survives restarts and comes along in backups.
- Web + APK
Recently played
Your recent plays, latest first and capped at ten. Clearing asks first and never touches Saved.
- Web + APK
Listening stats
Total time and daily averages, banked when the tab hides or the app goes to the background, even if it gets killed.
- Web + APK
Votes + details
Station sheets with art, tags, a country flag, and voting with a tap. Every station gets a shareable link.
Player
A dock that stays out of the way
Gapless switches, levelled loudness and a sleep timer, with the same controls everywhere.
- Web + APK
Gapless switching
The old station plays until the new stream is ready, then blends over. Rapid taps still crossfade.
- Web + APK
Volume + leveling
Overlay slider with mute, plus Level volume that rides quiet stations up and loud ones down.
- Web + APK
Sleep timer
Fades out and pauses after the time you pick, with the countdown in the dock.
- Web + APK
Surprise shuffle
One tap plays a random station from the catalogue, next to the browse button in the empty dock.
- Web + APK
Quick resume
Reopens with your last station loaded and ready, so the music is one tap away.
- Web + APK
Auto-reconnect
Dropped streams retry with backoff instead of getting stuck on an error. Paused stays paused.
- Web + APK
Lockscreen controls
MediaSession controls on web and notification controls on Android, with live track titles on stations that broadcast them.
Personal
Tuned to you
Theme, quick-find and a backup file that moves your whole setup between browser and APK.
- Web + APK
System theme
Light, dark, or follow your device. A script in the page head sets it before first paint, so there is no flash.
- Web + APK
Quick Find
A fuzzy palette across sections, pages and theme actions on Mod+K. No mouse needed.
- Web + APK
Radio backup
One JSON file holds favourites, history, stats, volume, votes and filters. Download it on web, or send it through the share sheet in the Android app.
- Web + APK
Installable app
Add it to your home screen from the browser and open it full-screen like any other app.
Android
Same app, native shell
The static build ships inside a Capacitor APK with background audio and zero-service updates.
- APK only
Background audio
A native service keeps audio playing with the screen off, and follows redirects onto allowlisted HTTP edges.
- APK only
Back gesture and button
Edge-swipe or the hardware back button steps back through pages, and exits the app at home.
- APK only
OTA updates
New bundles download from GitHub Releases and apply on next launch. No store update needed.
