Add your station toRadionet

Radionet is a curated hub for 24/7 stations: music, talk, community radio and more. This guide walks you through how to create your own radio stream using Radiocast and how to submit it so it can be listed on Radionet.

Step 1

Create a station on Radiocast

Set up your stream, encoder and basic metadata.

Step 2

Prepare your Radionet data

Collect IDs, names, genres and stream URLs.

Step 3

Submit via Discord

DM @_ukuy with your details.

1Create your radio on Radiocast

Radionet integrates easily with streams hosted on Radiocast. If you have never used it before, the basic idea is simple: you create a station, configure an encoder (or auto-DJ), and Radiocast gives you a public streaming URL that Radionet can use.

Step 1 — Sign up and access your panel

Create a Radiocast account (or log in if you already have one). Once you are in, you should see a management panel where you can create or manage radio streams.

Step 2 — Create a new station / stream

Add a new station in your Radiocast panel. Usually you will:

  • Choose a name for your stream (this is for your admin interface).
  • Pick codec and bitrate (e.g. MP3 128 kbps or AAC).
  • Note the "mount URL" or final public stream URL once the station is created.

Step 3 — Send audio to your station

To broadcast music or talk, you need to send audio into Radiocast. You can:

  • Use an encoder like BUTT, Mixxx, or another streaming client.
  • Configure the host, port and password given by Radiocast.
  • Start streaming and check that your public URL actually plays audio.
Before you contact Radionet, make sure your stream is stable for at least a few minutes and that it works in a normal browser or an audio player (e.g. VLC).

2Collect the details Radionet needs

Once your Radiocast stream is running, Radionet needs a small set of metadata to add your station.

Core fields

  • id — short, unique identifier (e.g. "mycoolradio").
  • name — display name (e.g. "My Cool Radio").
  • description — 1–2 sentences describing what you play.
  • genre — a simple genre tag like "pop", "rock", "various".

Stream fields

  • stream — your public stream URL.
  • nowplayingUrl — API endpoint for now playing info.
  • nowplayingArt — API endpoint for album art (can be same as above).

3Submit your station

Once you have all the information ready, send a DM to @_ukuy on Discord with your station details.

Include in your message:

  • Your station name and description
  • The genre / category
  • Your stream URL (must be publicly accessible)
  • Now playing API URL (if available)
  • A short note about what kind of music or content you play
