Jajuk supports most webradios (http or mms protocols for instance). It comes with an extensible set of default stations. New stations can be added through an interactive wizard

Launching a webradio

To launch a webradio, just click on the webradio button in the Main window and the currently selected station will be played (can take a while for some stations, because of the caching process)

Selecting a webradio

  • Click on the arrow at the right of the webradio button to display the webradio list popup. Note that the currently selected station is signalized by a green check
  • Select a station in the popup
  • Then, a click on the webradio button will launch the station you selected

Adding or removing a webradio

  • Click on the arrow at the right of the webradio button to display the webradio list popup
  • Select the first item Configure web radios
  • Follow the wizard. You can use any URL type in the URL field of stations

Tips to find and add web radio stations

The following explains how to extract the web radio URL from some radio web site or radio portal. A good example of a radio listing website is the Reciva Radio Portal available at https://www.reciva.com/ (more than 10,000 radio stations up-to-date). To retrieve the radio URL of your choice:

  • Use Firefox and go to https://www.reciva.com/
  • Start listening to the radio you want, this will open a small player window into Firefox
  • In this Firefox player window, right click on: "Page Info" and choose the tab called "media"
  • Select the radio URL media and do a right click, copy address to clipboard
  • Then go in Jajuk and add the radio as described above

Contributing to default Jajuk webradio directory

You can add webradios to the default Jajuk list (can be taken into account next release after our moderation). Just edit this wiki page.
