📻 Radio Streams
As of October 24, 2026, this radio player widget is no longer a heavy WordPress plugin, but a completely rewritten player that uses 2 PHP files, 4 JS files, and 1 CSS file, plus one JSON file per player. Read about this change here.
The old URL still works, but there are alternate URLs available:
📻 ludditus.com/?radio_player=1
| Player | Streams | Old URL | New URL | Also valid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Default | 512 | — | ludditus.com/radio | ludditus.com/radio-taz |
| Ludditus’ Selection | 512 | ludditus.com/?radio_player=1 | ludditus.com/radio/1 | ludditus.com/radio-taz/?radio_player=1 |
| China | 1 | ludditus.com/?radio_player=76 | ludditus.com/radio/76 | ludditus.com/radio-taz/?radio_player=76 |
| ROMÂNIA | 28 | ludditus.com/?radio_player=79 | ludditus.com/radio/79 | ludditus.com/radio-taz/?radio_player=79 |
On desktop, the list is numbered, but not on mobile:
Some basic guidance regarding the above player:
● The logic of the list is not entirely apparent, but it starts with some jazz and classical stations. Then oldies with a French touch follow, with some German stations inserted in between; then more oldies from Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands. Towards the end, after the less popular Dutch stations, I added a selection of the Internet-only channels of Klassik Radio and France Musique, with the French Jazz Radio streams between them. At the end are some less popular stations and stations that I only added recently. Romanian stations also found their way towards the bottom of the list.
● Many streams don’t include “now playing” ICY or ID3v2 metadata, and the official apps and websites use associated JSON or other means to display what’s currently playing. It’s frustrating not to have that info in this widget, but that’s how it is.
● French radio streams that refuse to play on a smartphone, in a browser, outside Western Europe, but have no problem playing in a browser on a computer regardless of where you are:
- Radio Classique requires a Western European IP; the official app plays regardless of your location.
- Chante France, M Radio, MBS and Crooner Radio require a Western European IP even for their apps to play!
- Radio Décibel refuses to play in a browser on a mobile device, even with an IP set to France, and it lacks an official app.
