## What is Radio Adfree?

Whether rock, pop, jazz, classical, electronic, blues, grunge, you name it: Find your perfect station in seconds - no waiting, no banner ads or annoying videos, no tracking.

What really makes Radio Adfree unique? Automatic song recognition. As you listen, the app recognizes songs in real time using ShazamKit — no other radio app offers this. Discover new music effortlessly and find recognized tracks instantly on Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube.

RADIO STREAMING Stream over 40,000 stations from around the world, supported by the community database radio-browser.info. Search by genre, country or language — or use voice search and the interactive map to discover stations near you or on the other side of the world. Background playback with full lock screen controls keeps the music playing wherever you go.

PODCASTS Discover trending podcasts from Apple's top charts or search millions of shows on iTunes. Subscribe to your favorites, track your progress across episodes, and pick up right where you left off with Auto-Resume. Adjust playback speed, fast forward or rewind, and earn completion badges for finished episodes. 17 genre categories from art to true crime ensure you'll always find something worth listening to.

SONG RECOGNITION (Premium) The highlight feature: automatic song recognition with ShazamKit. No typing, no waiting — songs are recognized as they play. Recognized tracks link directly to Spotify. Don't like a song or artist? Blacklist them with a "thumbs down" and never hear from them again.

CASTING & AIRPLAY (Premium) Stream your radio to the big screen with Chromecast or wirelessly to Apple devices via AirPlay. New: Connect the app to your Sonos account and stream directly to your Sonos boxes and groups!

LIVE BOARD (Premium) What’s currently playing on your channels? Quick overview of the now playing information of your favorite stations - without playing each one individually. Play directly with tap.
