You do not need a separate radio app to hear stations from another country. On 369.FM, playback happens on the page: choose a station, wait a moment for the stream to connect, and use the bottom player to pause, change volume, or jump to another listing. This guide explains the listening flow from first visit to everyday habits.
If you know what you want — a station name, a city, “news”, “jazz”, or a language — type it into search. If you are exploring, use region filters (Asia, Europe, Americas, Africa, Middle East, Oceania) or country chips. Filters exist so you can ignore the rest of the catalogue while you learn one part of the map.
Tip: when you are completely new to a country, begin with a well-known public broadcaster or a featured listing, then branch into music FM or specialist genres.
Each card shows the station name, country, genre, and a short description. That description is meant to answer a simple question: is this mostly news, music, talk, or a mixed public channel? Genres are labels for discovery, not perfect programme schedules — live radio changes through the day.
After a station starts, the player stays available while you browse. You can open another card without leaving the site. Favourites (when available on your device) help you return to morning news or evening music without searching again. Random / surprise playback is useful when you want something outside your usual habits.
Shortcuts are for desktop browsers. On phones, use the on-screen player controls.
Internet streams are often near-live, but buffering and encoding can add seconds of delay compared with FM. That rarely matters for music. It can matter for time signals or simultaneous sports reactions. Sound quality depends on the station’s bitrate and your network — some streams are intentionally light for mobile data.
Streams depend on the broadcaster’s servers and CDNs. Try another station, refresh the page, or switch networks (Wi‑Fi ↔ mobile data). Corporate or school networks sometimes block streaming ports. If the same station fails for days, tell us via Contact with the station name and what you see when you press play.
Many people keep one “home” news station and one music station for focus or evenings. Others rotate by region each week. Use 369.FM as a doorway: the value is not finishing the entire catalogue — it is finding a few voices you return to, then occasionally wandering.
