OpenWebRadio is built for several kinds of audio sources:
- Local audio files on your computer
- Live radio streams
- Icecast streams
- Shoutcast streams
- Podcasts and feed-based audio
You can use it as a daily music player or as a quick way to listen to stations from the web.
- Plays local files and online radio
- Supports live stream playback
- Saves playlists
- Switches between dark and light themes
- Uses keyboard shortcuts
- Runs with no extra setup
- Keeps the interface simple and clear
After you open OpenWebRadio:
- Add a local file or paste a stream link
- Create a playlist for your favorite stations
- Pick a theme that fits your screen
- Use the player controls to play, pause, skip, or stop
- Save your list for later use
If you listen to radio often, keep your station links in one playlist. That makes it easier to return to them later.
To add a stream:
- Copy the radio stream URL from the station site
- Open OpenWebRadio
- Paste the link into the stream field
- Save it to your playlist
- Press play
If the station uses Icecast or Shoutcast, OpenWebRadio should handle it the same way as a normal stream link.
OpenWebRadio includes shortcut keys for faster control. Common actions may include:
- Space: Play or pause
- Arrow keys: Move through items
- Enter: Open or play the selected item
- Delete: Remove an item from the list
- Ctrl + S: Save your playlist
Shortcuts can make the app easier to use once you know the layout.
OpenWebRadio includes dark and light themes.
Use dark theme if you:
- Listen at night
- Want less screen glare
- Prefer a darker interface
Use light theme if you:
- Work in a bright room
- Want high contrast in daylight
- Prefer a clean, bright look
Playlists help you keep your audio in one place.
You can use playlists for:
- Favorite radio stations
- Podcast feeds
- Music folders
- Daily listening groups
A good setup is to make one playlist for music and one for radio. That keeps things easy to find.
OpenWebRadio fits well if you want:
- A single app for music and live radio
- A player that does not feel crowded
- A fast way to open saved stations
- A simple tool for podcast listening
- A React-based app that feels light and direct
If audio does not play:
- Check your internet connection
- Try another stream link
- Make sure your speaker volume is on
- Confirm the correct output device in Windows
- Restart the app and try again
If a station does not load:
- The stream may be offline
- The link may have changed
- Try opening the station in a web browser first
If the app window looks strange:
- Switch between dark and light themes
- Resize the window
- Restart the app
