Station Playback & Streaming
How do I start or pause a radio station?
Click the prominent Play/Pause button on the center stereo console or press the Spacebar on your keyboard. Live streams require an active internet connection. On mobile browsers, audio must be initiated by tapping play.
Can I keep listening if I navigate to other pages?
Yes! A sticky mini-player bar automatically appears at the bottom of blog articles, station guides, and information pages. It maintains playback so you never lose the music while reading. You can also click "Cockpit" on the mini-player at any time to return to the jeepney dashboard.
How do I find and change stations?
Open the Stations Drawer to search and filter community-listed Philippine FM, AM, and online streams. Search by call letters, frequency (e.g., "97.1"), genre, location, or tag. You can also filter by FM, AM, Online, Budots, or Favorites.
Why does a station fail to play or show an error?
Radio streams are provided by individual broadcasters and servers. Occasional downtime, geographic licensing restrictions, or server maintenance can cause a temporary interruption. If a stream fails, click Retry or select another station from the catalog.
Can I save favorite stations?
Yes! When signed in, click the heart icon beside any station in the drawer or stereo unit to add or remove it from your Favorites tab. Your favorites sync to your account and are available across all your devices. When not signed in, you cannot save favorites - you'll see a prompt to sign in.
