Free Radio Streaming — No Signup, No Ads in Your Stream
Free radio streaming should mean actually free — no paywall to listen, no ads inserted into your stream, no credit card to start. Orb Radio connects you directly to broadcaster streams so you hear what the station intended.
What 'free' means on Orb Radio
Listening is free and unlimited. No signup is required to browse, search, or stream any station. Orb Radio does not inject ads into audio streams — what you hear comes directly from the broadcaster. Some stations include their own commercial breaks as part of their live broadcast, just like FM radio.
Orb Radio+ — optional convenience
Orb Radio+ costs $0.99/month and adds convenience features: on iOS, AirPlay to HomePod and speakers plus extended song history. On web, saved station sync, cross-device history, and richer player controls. Radio listening itself stays free whether you subscribe or not.
How Orb Radio stays free
Orb Radio is a discovery layer on top of the free Radio Browser directory. Stations provide their own streams; Orb Radio surfaces, ranks, and plays them. Optional subscriptions fund development without gatekeeping radio access.
Getting started
Open orbradio.com, pick a station, and press play. Save favorites by signing in with Google (free). Download the iOS app for background playback. That's it — no trial period, no credit card, no catch.
