# Web radios

How to find and play internet radio stations on your Volumio device, save your favorites, and add your own stations.

Your device comes with thousands of internet radio stations, ready to play. They're in `Browse` → `Web Radio`.

## Find a radio

In `Browse` → `Web Radio`, you find the stations sorted in folders:

-   `Top 500 Radios`, `Popular Radios` and `Best Radios`: the most listened-to stations.
    
-   `By genre` and `By country`: stations sorted by music genre or by country.
    
-   `Local Radios`: stations near you.
    
-   `BBC Radios`: the BBC stations.
    

To find a station by name, go to `Search`, choose `Web Radio` and type its name.

Press a station to play it.

## Save your favorite radios

1.  Press `⋮` next to a station.
    
2.  Choose `Add to radio favorites`.
    

You find your favorites in `Browse` → `Web Radio` → `Favorite Radios`. To remove one, press `⋮` next to it and choose `Remove from radio favorites`.

## Add your own radio

If a station isn't in the list, you can add it with its stream address. You usually find it on the station's website.

1.  Go to `Browse` → `Web Radio` → `My Web Radios`.
    
2.  Press `Add radio`.
    
3.  Type the station's `Name` and its `Stream URL`.
    
4.  Press `Save radio`.
    

To change a radio's address, press `⋮` next to it and choose `Edit web radio`. To remove it, choose `Delete web radio`.

## Troubleshooting

### A radio doesn't play

1.  Try another station: if the others play, the station may be offline or may have changed its address.
    
2.  For your own radios, check the `Stream URL`: it must be the address of the stream itself, not of the station's web page.
    
3.  Check that your device is [connected to the internet](https://help.volumio.com/articles/197-connection-issues).
