Radio is a communication medium used to broadcast music, news, entertainment, sports, talk shows, and other audio programming. Traditional radio stations use technologies such as AM or FM, while many stations also provide an internet stream. SonoZoom helps you discover and listen to stations from different locations through one global radio directory.

Online radio is an audio broadcast delivered over the internet. It may be the digital stream of a traditional station or a station created exclusively for online broadcasting. To listen, you need an internet connection and a compatible device, such as a phone, tablet, or computer.

Web radio is a station that distributes its programming through an internet stream. Some web radio stations also broadcast on AM or FM, while others operate exclusively online. Internet streaming allows a station to reach listeners outside its local broadcast area when its stream is available in their location.

AM and FM stations transmit over the air and normally serve a defined geographic coverage area. Online radio delivers audio through the internet, which can make a station available beyond its terrestrial broadcast range. Some stations provide both a local AM or FM frequency and an online stream.

Use the search to find a station by name, country, city, or language, or browse the genre directory and moods. Open the station page and select the play button to begin listening to its live stream. Playback depends on the station having an active and compatible stream.

Type a country name into the search to discover national, regional, and local stations associated with that place. Each station page shows its country when that information is available. This makes it easier to discover music, news, and programs from different parts of the world.

When geographic information is available, you can type a city name into the search to find stations associated with it. This is useful for discovering local news, sports, music, and regional programming. The location displayed for each station depends on the information available for it.

Browse the genre directory to find rock, pop, jazz, classical, electronic, salsa, and many other styles available in the catalog. You can also use the search to look for a specific station or style, such as regional Mexican.

Yes. You can open SonoZoom in the browser on a phone or tablet and play compatible stations. Radio is received over the internet, so data usage depends on how long you listen and on the quality of the stream.

Open SonoZoom in a compatible browser, find a station, and select the play button. You can listen through your computer speakers, headphones, or a connected audio device. No extra software is needed: the player works directly in the browser.

Online radio stations need an internet connection to keep a live stream playing. Without a connection, you can only listen to over-the-air signals with a compatible AM or FM receiver. A recording is no longer a live broadcast, and its availability depends on the rights and features offered by each station.

Yes. You can discover and listen to the available radio stations on SonoZoom for free. Listening requires an internet connection and may use mobile data. Individual stations may include advertising or sponsored programming in their broadcasts. SonoZoom Prime removes SonoZoom's own banner and video ads, but it does not remove advertising that is part of a station's live stream.

A stream can stop working if the station changes its streaming address, temporarily interrupts its signal, limits access by region, or has a technical problem. Some formats may also not be playable in your browser. If that happens, try again later or pick a similar station.
