All of the stations i've tried don't even play. The site doesn't even try to play the stream. Total waste of time in my experience.

Hey radionomy, Why do you hate people in the United States? Don't say you don't. If you Don't, Then People in the United States would still be able to use their radionomy stations.

Been trying to figure this format for sometime now. No help from Radionomy at all. I did find some awesome how to and help videos on a you tube channel. The channel is called Keith Curry. This guy is great. He knows about Radionomy. I hope Rdionomy is giving this guy some coin. Thanks to Keith Curry my station is up and running and growing. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoLmsrWY5FZdq_SDMYD-PMw?view_as=subscriber

At first it seemed like a great service... start your own radio station for free. Then came the CRB licensing issues with geoblocking and streams that now don't play anywhere but on Radionomy. Want to listen on Tune In? Forget it. Alexa? Forget that too. They send emails telling you to add your station on a long list of radio directories. When you try to play Radionomy stations in these directories you get a canned recorded message that states: "Listen to this station on Radionomy dot com". To add icing on the cake their streams crash at least once a month and are down sometimes for days. How is anyone supposed to get the minimum listening hours that they require under these constraints? It is practically impossible. Look elsewhere if you want to start a radio station. A lot of your hard work will go down the drain with this outfit.

Horrible!
March 31, 2018

Coming from experience, we were forced from Live365 to this service in January 2016 when it went "belly up". Initially the innerphase took time to get used to. Once the station was up and running, it was fine. Then came the periodic technical issues. Customer service, which was based in Belgium, was non-existent. Anything that went wrong on Friday wouldn't be resolved until Monday. Then came the geo-block. Certain countries weren't able to air months at a time. Then issues with Tunein got Radionomy stations forced off their airwaves. Finally the straw that broke the camel's back. Radionomy arbitrarily decided to black third party radio apps in the states and forced listeners to use their own app. I didn't hear the truth until reading about it in a radio industry news letter. That was the last straw. If there was a company that was unprofessional and unappreciated of good work, Radionomy takes the cake. Worst company I've ever dealt with! Stay far away!

Looks like a scam to control your pc and which won't recognise your P/W to escape from it and won't let you create another one. Maybe a hidden fundraiser for shady guys!

Please remove yourself from Beatles Radio app. I want to hear Beatles songs performed by The Beatles. Now there are songs that are not even Beatles songs. It is called Beatles Radio for a reason. You have ruined that app & the stations on it that you have taken over. Am VERY sad & EXTREMELY disappointed. Like to listen to Beatles when exercising for an hour, but this is now throwing off my timing, having to continually switch stations looking for Beatles songs & ones that are The Beatles doing their own music. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!:'-(

I have been trying to upload music all day and have not gotten anywhere. All of the youtube videos are outdated and of no use since they have changed their platform. It would be better if I could figure out how to actually make the music in there system play and use for my radio station... its really frustrating. :( I guess you get what you pay for and in this case it was free. I will probably switch to a service that I will have to pay for and have real support.

No real instruction as to how to make this app work. No assistance from the forum. And no help from 'help. You're better off looking elsewhere as Radionomy is not as simple to use as claimed.

Radionomy costs the broadcasters nothing and that's almost what you get. Coming from a internet radio broadcaster of 15 years; if you're serious about streaming a quality internet station, Radionomy is not your best bet. If you're starting out, this is a great way to get your feet wet. There's constant server problems, no tech support, lots of commercials inputted into your stream and just a lot of repetitive glitches.

Buffer problems, script crashes, stops completely, does not recover from connection lost. These are a few (and I mean a few) of the problems with radionomy. I usually only listen to my music on my phones and a friend suggested I tried radionomy. I tried several radio type apps (Pandora, Spotify, Sognza, Amazon Music, Milk) and so far this one had the most potential but it was plague with the same problems most have but at least for me it seemed worst. I will try it for another month (if it lets me) to see if things improve but so far th elongest i have being able to use it is 4 hours (only at home on my wired desktop) any movement ot any signal disruption and it stops so on the go it is junk. And I have tried it with 2 different services (my personal phone and work phone are different carriers) and no difference. Overall I could not recommend anyone this service.

Just gets better!
October 15, 2015

Most of the reviews I've read are over a year old and as such are way outdated. Radionomy is is my humble opinion the best free music service out there. I use it with VLC Player on my iPhone and both my PC' and laptop. There is the occasional buffer issue (and I do mean seldom), but no more than say Spotify and Pandora. The sound quality is excellent and the range of genres suffice for my needs. My personal fave is Radionomix, it's cool as!

Thanks for shoving this new manager on us. You should have tested it first. This is the worst service on the planet. It used to be great, now you have done it for good. I put up with constant server crashes, sloppy tech maintenance, unanswered questions in the forum, and now I have lost my listeners because of your new management system. Thanks alot. I have found a new system to host my station, and I have found a licensing system to run it legally. Because I doubt you properly report the music being played on these stations. In fact, the way it seems to be going, I doubt you do anything legal. You promised revenue from ads, but unless you can get as much listeners as a terrestrial station, you won't see a dime. Promises that mean nothing. This is not how you run a business. If anything, I have learned a valuable lesson. Don't blindly follow promises in the hopes that some day they will come through. They never did. At first the idea of running a free radio station with no worries about copyright infringement was too good to be true. I was right. I see the ship going down very soon. Us programmers have been jumping ship since the launch of this new system. I understand if you don't care if I leave Radionomy, because your not making any money off me. But if we all leave, you will have nothing. I feel sorry for any investors in your company, because sloppy business practices always spell the demise of a promising company. Great initial idea, however, someone will learn by these problems, improve on them, and launche their own, proper, radio hosting service. I wish those of you involved with Radionomy good luck. I for one, will not miss the constant problems.

Its perfectly fine from a user side, nothing seems to be very wrong there. But try doing anything in the direction of making your only station and my god you have a $#*!ing nightmare on your hands. Doing anything on the site takes about 10 years and you get 0 feedback from your actions. The forms are user unfriendly and if you have a Facebook login then you have to deal with a ton of bull$#*! with transferring your account. If you ever want to make an online radio station, never. Ever. Use this site, it'll make you want to stab yourself with a rusty spoon in the face until you pass out

Radionomy is a great place where people can create, program, produce and plan internet radio stations for free. Its great because not only is it a completely web based platform with a ton of great tools, you can also monetize your stations once you gain audience.

In an age where companies like Pandora, Spotify, itunes, and Slacker are calling their services "radio", Radionomy is truly RADIO that is being created by real humans and not robots or algorithms.
