If the station uses an HTTP stream, it is played through our custom script. This method is not perfect and has a limitation: it can only play continuously for about 3–5 minutes. After that, the stream needs to be refreshed manually.
To avoid this issue, we recommend using an HTTPS stream. This problem does not occur in our mobile app. - How is the radio station ranking calculated?
The ranking is based on a simple formula: the more listeners a station has, the higher it appears in the catalog. However, this is based on listener statistics from the past 7 days. If a station loses listeners, it will gradually move down in the ranking. - How is the top songs list generated for a station?
We track how many times each song is played on a station. The more frequently a song is played, the higher it ranks. This simple method helps surface the most current and popular tracks. - Why do some stations not have playlists?
Not all radio stations provide metadata with song information. Our system tries to extract this data from the stream, but if it's not available, a playlist cannot be generated. However, most stations include this information in their metadata, so playlists are available for many of them.
