Radio Stations

OrgZ ships with a curated catalogue of internet radio stations - around 700 streams across 43 countries - plus whatever you add yourself.

Where the stations come from

The catalogue is a file inside the app, hand-curated from the radio-browser.info directory. There is no live directory sync and nothing to download on first run: the list is there the moment you open Radio. It is refreshed when a new version of OrgZ ships.

Stations you add yourself are kept in your own library database, so they survive updates.

Getting started with radio

1. Click Radio in the sidebar
2. Use the Country and Genre dropdowns in the filter bar above the list to narrow it down
3. Double-click a station to start streaming

Genre grouping

Stations are grouped by genre under collapsible headers. Click a header to collapse or expand that genre; the state is remembered per view, so switching away and back to Radio restores it. The collapse-all button in the filter bar collapses every genre at once.

Adding your own stations

Use the + button in the filter bar. The Add Radio Station dialog takes three things:

Field	Notes
Station Name	Free text; what shows in the list.
Stream URL	Must be an http or https stream URL, or the dialog refuses it.
Genre	Picked from the same genre list the catalogue uses.

Your stations sit alongside the bundled ones and can be removed again from the station's right-click menu (Remove Station).

Live Metadata

When streaming, OrgZ displays live ICY metadata (artist and title) as it arrives from the station.
