Description
Transistor is an app for listening to radio programs over the internet. Transistor is a radio app with a minimalistic approach, that may not be to everyone's liking. It has no radio station discovery feature. Transistor only offers a very simple search option and it imports audio streaming links, when you tap on them in a web browser.
Transistor is free software. It is published under the MIT open source license. You can find the code on GitHub (https://github.com/y20k/transistor). GitHub is also a good place to file bugs or even to contribute, if you are interested.
FREQUENT QUESTIONS
HOW CAN I ADD A RADIO STATION There are three ways to add a radio station to Transistor: Use Search, add playlist file address (M3U, PLS), enter a raw stream address. The last way will not support the update feature.
HOW DOES THE UPDATE FEATURE WORK? The update feature will try to fetch the current stream address of a station as well as the updated name and station image. The feature will not work for stations added via a raw stream address, or for stations imported from Transistor v3.
WHERE DO THE RADIO STATION SEARCH RESULTS COME FROM? Transistor searches the radio-browser.info online database. You can help out the radio-browser.info community by adding the missing station (http://www.radio-browser.info/gui/#!/add) to their database.
WHICH AUDIO FORMATS ARE SUPPORTED? Transistor can play back streams encoded in MP3, AAC and Ogg/Opus. It also has experimental support for HLS streams.
Recent changes: - minor layout changes to better fit in with the "Material Design 3" theme introduced in Android 12 - updated translations

Great barebones radio app, please consider an option to backup the stations
as an enhancement, right now I copy the collection folder manually, thanks
★★★★★
Awesome simple app. I love it and recommend it! Some easy to implement ideas for developers... 1. qr code reader to add a statio link 2. share a txt fike for easy stations sharings between phones or even better, a centralized online storage. Thanks a lot for the ad free app! Much appreciated.
★★★★★
Simple and lightweight Great app! Love the simplicity. Basic Chromecast and/or Chromecast Audio support would be fun!
★★☆☆☆
Very bare bones. Not nearly as good as RadioDroid.
★★☆☆☆
Crazy complicated app Way better Radio apps out there like, Audials, On the Box, Simple, MyTuner....
★★☆☆☆
No ads! ...however... Doesn't have any preloaded stations or search function. Essentially useless unless you can paste a direct link for the station into the app.
★★☆☆☆
Keeps crashing Like the concept, but kept crashing. Did file a bug report. A little complicated to add stations.
