Spin the dial. Tune the world. Radio Roulette turns radio discovery into a game. One tap, and you're listening to a random live FM station somewhere on Earth - maybe a jazz club in Paris, a metal show in Sao Paulo, or a countryside talk program in Japan. No subscriptions. No ads. No sign-up. Just 20,000+ live stations from 50+ countries, waiting for you to spin. FEATURES - Spin to discover: every spin delivers a new random live station - Filter by country or genre, or leave it wide open for true chance - 20,000+ stations from the open radio-browser.info community - Favorites: heart the stations you want to find again - History: scroll back through everything you've heard - Seamless crossfade: stations blend smoothly, never an abrupt cut - Background playback: keep listening while you use other apps - Lock-screen controls: play, pause, skip without unlocking - Smart skip: auto-advance past stations that fail to load - Now Playing: see the current song title and artist when stations broadcast metadata - Dark, minimal design: made to fade into the background while you listen Radio Roulette is built for wanderers, crate-diggers, language learners, and anyone who misses the serendipity of spinning a real dial. It's the lazy-Sunday, late-night, plane-mode-off version of radio, open to whatever the world is playing right now. Station data is provided by the community-maintained radio-browser.info project.
