Sounds from the Fediverse to the Universe

Radiofreefedi.net is a super cool internet radio with a couple stations that plays music from fediverse artists, along with a “words” station that plays non-music stuff like podcasts or other kinds of spoken programming

I’ve really enjoyed it and only learned about it cause someone here on lemmy mentioned it in passing, I thought I’d share so other folks know about it as well :)

    Thought I’d comment to add: if you’re on android and enjoy using F-droid apps Transistor, and URL Radio are two great apps for listening to internet radio stations like radiofreefedi

    I think URL radio is just a fork that was updated to material design 3, but transistor seems more actively maintained :)

      I was really surprised how much I liked some of the stuff that came on, there were some seriously cool tracks that played and I had a great time jamming out to it

      Thanks for sharing links for folks to contribute!

    For those interested in getting into listening to internet radio, see also: https://dir.xiph.org/ (Icecast network) and https://directory.shoutcast.com/ (Shoutcast network), both of which have been around for ~25 years at this point if the domain registry is anything to go by. Definitely in their current forms for over a decade.

    Caveat: Lots of commercial content and stations, which is, of course, antithetical to Fediverse ideology. Still worth a look if you can’t (yet) find what you want in the Fediverse.

    (There’s also http://radio.garden/ which has a very pretty interface but has multiple negative points: in-browser only, needs a lot of JavaScript access to station-associated domains on a per-station basis, is HTTP(no S)-only and may not work for stations outside your own country.)

    google captcha that will 100% fail the first time no matter how careful I am, sorry I can’t do it anymore, especially if I don’t know what I’m opening

    and hasn’t it be established bots can solve those now and it’s just about the money?

      Eee, they sure should be!! I found your post because I wanted to see if the Fediverse knew about Radio-Browser.Info. I love that place, as I can explore so much curated music from so many places around the world.

      The three music radio stations have been, but the words channel has not yet.

      I’ll probably go take another look at adding it at some point but it seemed like a pain on mobile

    I hate that it constantly plays advertisements for itself. Like, I’m already listening to you, I don’t need to be informed that you exist.
