Frequently Asked Questions

Problems listening to a radio? If you cannot find your answer here feel free to send us your question.

Why can't I tune in?

You will probably have no problem if your desktop system runs the latest version of your favorite browser e.g. Chrome, Firefox etc.

If you can't listen to a radio, it probably means the station is full of listeners and can't accept more users at the moment. If this happens more often, it might be a problem with your internet connection. If you can never tune in it, probably means you're behind a firewall that doesn't allow radio streams.

My favorite radio has been deleted

Sometimes internet radios just stop streaming. Either because their server is down or full of listeners. In this case, the radio is automatically removed from filtermusic directory. When the problem is solved the radio is listed again.

Where do you get your background photos?

Most background photos are emailed to us by website users or collected all over the internet. All rights belong to their rightful owners. Please dont try to copy or redestribute any images.

Please use your normal mobile browser: Safari, Firefox, Opera and Chrome on all platforms or operation systems.

What kind of stations do you cover? Why don't you have station 'X'?

If you can't find a station, that's because we don't have it in our directory yet. We tend to include only radio stations that play no ads (as few as possible at least), stick to one music style and stream in 128kbps or more.

Currently we accept no submissions for new radio stations.
