The tuner · world radio, read live
Somewhere, a station
is always on.
Turn the dial and the world answers — pop out of Warsaw, jazz out of Tokyo, news out of Lagos. Behind the glass is radio-browser.info, a register of internet stations kept by its own listeners, read here directly: no key, no account, no server in the middle. The stream itself comes straight from the broadcaster to this page’s one audio element, untouched.
Take a station off a shelf — by genre, by country, or by name — and press play. Nothing plays until you do. The page remembers your last station in this browser, and a link to the tuner carries the station with it.

The tuner
One dial. Every country.
What is tuned sits under the needle; what is playing is the broadcaster’s stream, untouched. The register counts one click when you press play — that is how its rankings stay honest — and this page never plays a note you did not ask for.

The scale is the page’s own — internet stations have no frequency, so each gets a fixed spot on the glass and the needle sweeps to it.

The shelves
By genre. By country.
The register’s biggest tags and biggest countries, read off the wire when the page opens — each chip pulls a fresh shelf of its most-voted stations, with streams the register’s own checker has marked broken already left out. A click on a row tunes it and plays.

The search
Name it. It answers.
Ask the register for a station by name — the whole of it or a piece — and the most-voted matches come back. A click on a match tunes it.

About
A tuner, not a label.
The register is radio-browser.info — a community catalogue of internet radio stations, added and voted on by the people who listen to them, published without a key and mirrored by volunteers. This page asks the project for its mirror list at load, picks one, and reads the register directly in your browser; the status line in the tuner names the mirror it is on. The counts in the opening are the register’s own, read the same way.
A community register carries dead entries the way a phone book carries moved-out numbers. The shelves ask for streams the register’s checker has not marked broken, but a stream can die between checks — when one will not open, this page says so and offers the next station rather than pretending. Some broadcasters still stream over plain http, which a secure page cannot open; that too is reported as exactly what it is.
Nothing plays until you press play. When you do, the page tells the register one click was counted — that is how the community’s rankings stay honest — and your last station is remembered in this browser and nowhere else. The dial is drawn by this page’s own hand, and its scale is a metaphor, marked as one.
