Today, February 13, we celebrate World Radio Daya date established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2012 to commemorate the work of a medium with more than a century of history, but still valid today, however it may seem otherwise.

It’s true that radio isn’t as popular today as it was when it was on its own, but television hasn’t taken it down, and neither has the internet. The arrival, expansion and implementation of the network actually served as an incentive to give new life in the middle: To listen to the radio, it is no longer necessary to have a specific device, just as you do not need to receive a signal and be satisfied with the available coverage.

Thanks to the Internet, it is possible to connect to a live broadcast of virtually any radio station in the world, wherever you are. And if you’re missing something, that’s what podcasts are for… But that’s another story. We’re all about radio, and on the occasion of its World Day, we’ll take the opportunity to briefly review the best alternatives that you can enjoy on your PC or mobile.

Classic style radio

Yes, you can still enjoy radio in the classic style and it’s worth a brief reminder that anyone can buy a radio as it was in the past; but not only that: there are telephones with a radio function, there are also televisions, cars and you can even buy an antenna for your computer. However, it is not necessary to complicate or spend anything.

it’s more if you don’t need radio yes or yes Because wherever you are, the signal reaches you better than on the Internet, using the app is the most convenient and efficient way to listen to the radio on your PC and mobile… and even on your TV.

Radio in a web browser

When I talk about apps, I mean different types of apps, but not those of radio stations. If you’re not a fan of a particular chain, or a couple and that’s what you always listen to, avoid the official apps, because it doesn’t pay to open and close apps all the time. Among other reasons you already have the app installed with which you can access all the radios you want.

Web browser yes: whether you are on your mobile or on a computer, through a web browser you can listen to all the radio stations that are present on the Internet, which will be the vast majority, if not all of them. that interest you. Simplifying and streamlining the process is as simple as create a bookmarks folder and add the pages there radios, as the live stream player is usually on the same landing page.

Are you not one to fiddle with markers, or do you just impulsively jump from flower to flower – from radio to radio? There are dedicated pages that make this very easy for you. These are some of the most popular listen to radio from Spain or from Spain:

• Emisora.org.es
• Radio Spain
• Radio.es
• Spain FM
• Online radio stations
• MyRadioOnline
• RdioOnlineFM

In addition, whether you are an iVoox user or not, the podcast platform also offers live radio and you don’t even need to register to listen to it, although if you do – as with any of the above sites – You will be able to bookmark your favorite radio stations, to keep them closer… on the web or in the mobile app. If you’re using a browser, go to this link:

• Live Radio on iVoox

Radio in applications

Finally, there is the possibility of installing a radio application, but not for a specific station, but rather one that provides quick access to a large selection of them, in the style of linked pages. Personally I don’t recommend itexcept for very specific use cases, because the browser handles everything without the need to install additional software.

That said, there will be those who prefer it, so I’ll settle with the best-known alternative… which could well be the aforementioned iVoox, but it’s TuneIn, an option a bit congested but efficient and reliable which you can use on Windows, Mac, Android, iOS and over the web. In addition to the radio, it includes a podcast feature and other extras, and also insists that you pay for a premium plan, but otherwise works very well.

There are many applications for listening to the radio on PC, but on mobile devices there are many, almost all advertising scams and not with best practices, because they are dedicated to the distribution of third-party content. Therefore, I recommend trying the above methods before diving into the disappointing world of radio applications.

And that’s all, although it could be much more, because today radio is present in a thousand and one places. If you’re interested in radio history, here’s a summary. Happy World Radio Day!
