Tip
Before digging for raw stream URLs manually, check the Station Directories & Databases section first. Many stations are already indexed on Radio Browser, FMStream, or other searchable directories.
1. Check the site Look for links labeled "Listen Live," "Direct Stream," "MP3," "AAC," "M3U," "PLS", "Winamp"
2. The Stream Detector Method A fast way to capture hidden stream URLs from embedded web players.
- Install the Stream Detector add-on for Firefox or Chrome
- In the add-on options, uncheck
Ignore direct links to media files. - Play the station in your browser.
- Click the add-on icon and select "Copy all visible URLs".
3. The Inspector Method
Open the web player, right-click and select Inspect (or press F12). Go to the Network tab, filter by "Media" or "XHR," and start the player. Look for requests ending in .mp3, .aac, .m3u, .m3u8, .pls or starting with icecast/shoutcast.
4. The Cat-Catch Method (for HLS/DASH streams the above don't catch) A heavier-duty sniffer with dedicated HLS (.m3u8) and DASH (MPD) parsers. Use it when Stream Detector or the Inspector method don't surface a clean, playable URL.
- Install cat-catch for Chrome, Edge, or Firefox - use only these official links - the maintainers warn of ad-injected fake copies elsewhere.
- Play the station, open the extension, and use the built-in M3U8/DASH parser to resolve the manifest into a direct stream URL.
