Free preview: listen to any station for 90 seconds — no subscription needed. The paywall appears automatically when the preview ends, so nothing interrupts your listening unexpectedly. Player redesign: the full player now shows station artwork, name, country, genre tags, vote count, stream codec, and a link to the station's homepage when captions are off. Animated equalizer bars pulse on the artwork while audio plays. The play/stop button is now a bold filled circle.
