Internet radio player that finds streams by pasting a station's website

Freqcast is a modern internet radio player that finds streams from station websites, so you don't have to hunt for a .mp3, .aac, or .m3u8 URL yourself. Paste a station's website link and Freqcast checks Radio Browser, then scans the site itself, discovers a playable stream, verifies that it works, and adds it to your library. Features: - Paste a station website instead of hunting for a stream URL — Freqcast automatically discovers and verifies the playable stream whenever possible - Discover stations — search the Radio Browser directory by name, genre, country, language, or "near me", and add results straight to your library - Background playback with automatic reconnect - Timeshift (rewind) for compatible streams, and export the last few minutes as a shareable audio clip (MP3/AAC streams) - Live ICY metadata - Sleep timer and multiple wake-up alarms - Home screen widget and Android Auto support - Play or stop a saved station via Gemini and other AI assistants (Android 16+) - Starts you off with a handful of curated stations - Drag to reorder your station list - Import/export station lists (JSON, OPML, M3U, PLS) - Tablet and foldable layouts - Localized into English, Russian, Spanish and Simplified Chinese Freqcast is fully local, requires no account, shows no ads, and doesn't depend on a proprietary station catalog. It works with standard HTTP/HTTPS streams and HLS.

    Android Auto playback is fixed. Tapping a station in the car no longer shows “could not load your selection” and then cuts the stream a second later. That happened because the player was given an empty playlist and treated the station as already finished. A tap now actually starts the station. This is issue #33. The media notification in the shade also stopped blinking: Auto and Media3 were restarting the playback service about once a second and fighting over who posted the notification. That loop is gone. Also bumps the Android Gradle Plugin to 9.5.0, Gradle to 9.8.2, and App Functions to 1.0.0-beta01.
