What’s new in LambertGroup - Radio Player With Playlist - Shoutcast and Icecast 4.4.9

Version 4.4.9 · Jan 23, 2026 Latest

What it does

Embedding a live radio stream on a WordPress site often means piecing together a player, station details and now playing information by hand. This plugin handles that from a single input: the MP3 radio stream URL. From there it fetches the station name, its categories and the current track. It also looks up the artist through the musicbrainz.org API and shows an image from wikimedia.org or wikidata.org when one exists, so listeners see who they are hearing.

The player works with Shoutcast and Icecast, the two common internet radio streaming protocols, and it can play AAC streams in browsers that support them. Its responsive layout adjusts to desktop and mobile screens, with support for iOS and Android. You can pick a black or white skin to match your design, and you can turn responsive mode off if your site uses a fixed layout. It suits radio stations, broadcasters and anyone who wants a live stream on their pages.

Best for

Internet radio stations running Shoutcast or Icecast
Broadcasters who want a live player on WordPress
Music sites showing now playing track and artist details

Features

Setup from one stream URL

Enter the MP3 radio stream URL and the player retrieves the station details and current track information on its own, with no extra data entry.

Shoutcast and Icecast support

Works with both Shoutcast and Icecast streams, so it fits the broadcasting setups most internet radio stations already use.

Artist photos for the current song

Uses the musicbrainz.org API to find the performing artist and displays a photo from wikimedia.org or wikidata.org when one is available.

Responsive and mobile ready

The player adapts to different screen sizes and supports iOS and Android, so visitors can listen on phones, tablets and desktop browsers.

Black and white skins

Choose between a black skin and a white skin to match the player to the colors and look of your website.

Optional responsive mode

A parameter lets you switch responsive behavior on or off, which helps when placing the player on a site with a non-responsive layout.

AAC stream playback

In browsers that handle AAC, the player can play AAC streams in addition to MP3, giving you more options for your stream format.

Questions about LambertGroup - Radio Player With Playlist - Shoutcast and Icecast

What do I need to get the player working?

You need the MP3 radio stream URL for your Shoutcast or Icecast station. Once you add it, the player fetches the station name, categories and the song currently playing, so you do not have to enter those details yourself.

Where do the artist pictures come from?

The player identifies the current artist through the musicbrainz.org API and then shows a photo sourced from wikimedia.org or wikidata.org. Images appear when those sources have one for the artist, so some tracks may not display a photo.

Will it play on phones and tablets?

Yes. The player has a responsive design that adjusts to screen size, and it supports both iOS and Android devices, so listeners can tune in from smartphones, tablets and desktop browsers.

Can I use it on a site that is not responsive?

Yes. There is an optional parameter to disable responsive mode, which lets the player sit properly inside fixed-width layouts. You can also choose a black or white skin to fit your design.
