What it does
Adding a live radio stream to a WordPress site usually means wrestling with embed codes and keeping now-playing details up to date by hand. This plugin handles both jobs. It connects to Shoutcast and Icecast servers, which covers most internet radio stations, and it fetches the current song information automatically. When an artist photo is available, the player displays it next to the track details, so the player stays current without any manual edits.
The player is responsive and works on desktops, tablets and phones, including iOS and Android devices. You can pick a black or white skin and adjust the colors to match your site. If your layout is not responsive, you can switch the responsive behavior off so the player fits a fixed design. It is built with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and PSD design files are included for anyone who wants to rework the look in more detail.
Best for
- Internet radio stations running Shoutcast or Icecast
- Music blogs that want a live stream player
- Community or hobby broadcasters with WordPress sites
