Description
Broadcasts 3 introduces a beautiful new Mini Player, revamped Search experience, and a new Artwork Chooser to help style your library. Now available on Apple Vision Pro.
Listen to streaming internet radio in an ultra-simple, single-purpose app.
Broadcasts makes building a library of stations from around the world easier than ever — no subscription required. Use completely free with a limited-size library of stations, or upgrade to the full version to unlock the library limit and add as many of your own stations as you like from the Station Browser, or manually via URL. Search for stations from around the world as easily as from your own library. Use the Mini Player to showcase gorgeous station and track artwork (for supported stations).
Sync your library across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV with iCloud & Universal Purchase. Enjoy your library on the road using CarPlay and your iPhone.
Browse stations in grid or list view. Listen in Light or Dark mode. Edit stations to provide your own artwork, or use the Artwork Chooser to generate something fun and colorful. Use Handoff to transfer playback between devices, or AirPlay directly to a home speaker.
Supports Shortcuts & AppleScript for playback automation.

Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Notes
Tune in to thousands of live internet radio streams—right on your Mac—from Afghanistan, Hong Kong, Poland, Zimbabwe, and everywhere in between with Broadcasts.
Just what I was looking for
With the current lockdown I've been listening to a lot more music working from home, and not owning an actual radio I wanted to find a nicely designed Mac app that could handle Internet radio streaming, and this is just the ticket.
It has a lot of built in stations, but you can also define your own if you have a streaming link (m3u), and customise the name and logo. Best of all your stations sync via iCloud to iPhone.
I'd love the ability to run it from the Mac menu bar, but otherwise it's a really solid little app.
Full marks for the AppleScript support
I have a bluetooth speaker connected to my iMac. With a LauncherAgent and an AppleScript, the Broadcasts app starts automatically when the speaker is turned on. With iOS shortcuts and some 'osascript' over SSH commands I can change the station from my phone, query the currently playing station or the list of stations avaiable.
A nitpick is that when adding stations manually, the picture logo can only be chosen from the Photos app. Normally I just download the logo to desktop, no need to import it in the Photos app.
