Free! Listen to radio stations from your browser. Online Radio for Google Chrome — Free, Commercial-Free Internet Radio Listen to beautiful, commercial-free internet radio right from your browser toolbar. Online Radio gives you instant one-click access to a hand-picked collection of stations — plus tens of thousands of internet radio stations from around the world — all wrapped in a fast, clean, completely redesigned player. No account. No sign-up. No ads. Just press play. A BRAND-NEW DESIGN We rebuilt the entire player from the ground up. The new popup is modern, compact, and a pleasure to use, with a polished dark theme (and a matching light theme), smooth animated transitions, album-style station art, and a live "now playing" bar that always keeps your music one tap away. Everything you need is organized into three simple tabs — Browse, Favorites, and Recent — so finding your next station takes seconds. PLAYS IN THE BACKGROUND This is the big one. Your music now keeps playing even after you close the popup. Open a station in the morning and let it run all day while you work, browse, and switch tabs — no extra window to keep open, no interruptions. Playback runs quietly in the background and is fully controlled from the toolbar whenever you want it. BROWSE AND DISCOVER • Genre chips — jump straight to Ambient, Electronic, Indie, Jazz, Roots, Eclectic, and more. • Instant search — type a station name or genre and results filter as you type, with full keyboard navigation (arrow keys to move, Enter to play). • "All Web" — switch to the All Web chip to search a directory of 50,000+ internet radio stations from every corner of the world. The player automatically keeps only secure, directly-playable streams so you spend time listening, not troubleshooting. • Album-art grid — browse stations visually, with an animated equalizer on whatever's currently playing. FAVORITES AND RECENT Tap the star on any station to save it. Your favorites live in their own tab, one tap from playback. The Recent tab remembers what you've been listening to and when ("Now playing," "12 min ago," "Yesterday"), so getting back to a station you loved is effortless. Both work across your curated stations and the worldwide directory alike. NOW PLAYING, AT A GLANCE The now-playing bar shows the current station, its artwork, and — for supported stations — the exact track and artist playing right now, refreshed automatically. You always know what you're hearing. FULL PLAYBACK CONTROL • Big, clear play/pause button. • Volume slider in a tidy pop-out control, with your level remembered between sessions. • Sleep timer — set 15 minutes up to 2 hours and the radio fades out on its own. Perfect for falling asleep to ambient or jazz. • System media keys — use your keyboard's play/pause key and see the station on your operating system's media overlay. • Global shortcut — toggle play/pause from anywhere with Ctrl+Shift+P (Command+Shift+P on Mac), even when the popup is closed. ROCK-SOLID STREAMING We hardened the audio engine for reliability. All streaming is over secure HTTPS, and if a stream ever drops because of a network hiccup, the player automatically reconnects — quietly picking your station back up so the music keeps going. LIGHT AND DARK THEMES The redesigned player ships with a gorgeous dark theme by default and a clean light theme to match your taste or your system setting. It follows your operating system automatically, and you can override it any time with a single tap. Your choice is remembered. PRIVATE AND LIGHTWEIGHT Your listening is your business. Online Radio requires no account and asks for no sensitive permissions — it can't read your browsing history, your data, or the pages you visit. There's no tracking and no analytics baked into playback. It's small, fast, and stays out of your way. WHAT'S NEW IN THIS VERSION • Complete visual redesign with a modern dark/light interface. • Background playback — audio continues after you close the popup. • Live search with full keyboard navigation. • Favorites and Recent as dedicated tabs. • "All Web" — 50,000+ internet radio stations via an open directory. • Now-playing track and artist for supported stations. • Sleep timer, system media-key support, and a global play/pause shortcut. • Automatic reconnect on dropped streams and secure HTTPS playback. • Faster, lighter build with unused code removed. WHO IT'S FOR Whether you want focus-friendly ambient and downtempo while you work, deep house and IDM while you code, indie pop on a coffee break, or spy-jazz and lounge in the evening, Online Radio makes great, commercial-free music a single click away — and keeps it playing all day. Install it free, pin it to your toolbar, and press play. CREDITS Curated stations are courtesy of SomaFM — listener-supported, commercial-free internet radio (https://somafm.com).
