Sıkça Sorulan Sorular
Quick answers to the most common questions about listening, accounts, the mobile app, broadcasters, and the technical streaming formats ice Radio FM supports.
Listening basics
ice Radio FM ücretsiz mi?
Yes. ice Radio FM is 100% free to listen to. There is no subscription required, no payment, and no signup. Optional Premium removes ads and unlocks extra themes, but free listening has no time limits or station caps.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Anyone can listen anonymously. A free account only unlocks personal features: favorite stations, playlists, listening history, and cross-device sync between web and the Android app.
What audio formats are supported?
ice Radio FM streams from Icecast, SHOUTcast, HLS (HTTP Live Streaming), and direct HTTP audio. MP3, AAC, and OGG codecs all play natively in modern browsers without any plugin.
Discovering stations
ice Radio FM'de kaç radyo istasyonu var?
More than 100,000 live internet radio stations across 200+ countries and 300+ genres, updated continuously from broadcaster metadata, Radio-Browser.info, and approved user submissions.
How do I find stations from a specific country or genre?
Use the Browse page or the dedicated /countries and /genres landing pages to filter by country, genre, language, or any combination. Top-traffic country×genre combos like "Rock radio in USA" have their own SEO landing pages.
Account features
What can I do with a free account?
Save favorite stations, build named playlists of stations, view a private listening history, subscribe to podcasts, leave reviews and ratings on stations, and sync everything between the web and the Android app.
Can I record streams?
ice Radio FM does not record stations on your behalf. Whether you can record a stream depends on the broadcaster's terms of service — many countries permit personal time-shifting, but you should check local copyright law and the station's own terms.
How do I delete my account?
Visit your dashboard settings or contact support via the contact page. Account deletion removes your favorites, playlists, listening history, reviews, and personal data.

Does ice Radio FM work in cars or on smart speakers?

How do I list my radio station?
Visit /for-broadcasters or /submit/station. Submissions are free; we review for stream availability and metadata accuracy. Approval typically takes 24–72 hours.
Do you offer paid promotion?
Yes. Promoted listings appear on the home page and category pages with measurable impressions and click-throughs. Pricing is published on /for-broadcasters and includes a promoted-station slot, optional auto-play preview, and analytics dashboard.
Technical
What is HLS?
HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) is an adaptive streaming protocol developed by Apple that works on virtually every modern device. ice Radio FM supports both HLS and direct Icecast/SHOUTcast streams.
What is bitrate? Higher is always better?
Bitrate (kbps) describes how much audio data is transmitted per second. Higher bitrate = better audio quality but more bandwidth. 128 kbps MP3 is roughly CD-quality for most listeners; 64 kbps AAC sounds nearly identical at half the bandwidth.
A station won't play. What do I do?
Stream availability is controlled by the broadcaster, not by ice Radio FM. Try refreshing or check back later — most outages are temporary. If a station is permanently offline, please report it via the contact page so we can mark it inactive.
Privacy and data
Does ice Radio FM track me?
We log anonymized listener heartbeats so stations can show live listener counts. Personal listening history is private to your account and only visible to you. We do not sell your data. See the privacy policy for full details.
Where is my data stored?
Account data and listening history are stored on EU-hosted servers. Stream playback connects either directly from your browser to the broadcaster or via our proxy, depending on the station configuration.
Still have a question?
Reach out via the contact form — we usually reply within a working day. Broadcasters can also use the dedicated submission flow.
