Eter: Stream Internet Radio3.4.1 - App Store

Eter Radio is an app for listening to Internet radio stations. Eter Radio is available in a universal version for macOS, iOS, iPadOS, watchOS and tvOS.

Eter Radio uses the publicly available radio-browser.info database, which contains a collection of free and publicly available Internet radio stations. You can also add any stream by URL.

Eter for iOS, iPadOS and macOS offers a hand-crafted list of recommended stations and the ability to search radio-browser.info for other radio stations. To be able to save favorite stations, you must unlock the program with a one-time In-App Purchase. (The price in the App Store may vary depending on the country and the local currency rate). Eter on tvOS and watchOS works as a companion app. If you've upgraded to Premium, you can play your favorites on these platforms too.

Curious what that song is? You can optionally use Shazam automatic song recognition to know what’s playing. (Available for all users.)
Enjoy unlimited listening with Eter on any Apple anything, including CarPlay, for free.

We strive to provide an outstanding internet radio experience to all users, including those using VoiceOver. If you spot shortcomings, please reach out to support@apparentsoft.com so we can work together to improve things.

Upgrade Eter with a single one-time in-app purchase to:

- Save favorite stations so you don’t have to search each time.
- Hide the recommended stations & just see your own list.
- View listening history and open any track in Apple Music.
- Use Eter from the Mac menu bar and hide its Dock icon (Mac only).
- Set a sleep timer to drift off to calming tunes from anywhere in the world.
- Try experimental features like streaming to a Chromecast device.
- Support the continued development of this app.

Version History This update fixes app startup issues reported by a few users.

Whoo hoo! After many requests, folders have arrived! You can now organize your stations however you like, by genre, by location, by language — it’s up to you. On iOS, drag and drop to create a group just like you would group apps on your phone’s Home Screen. You’ll see your new organization reflected wherever you use Eter, on your Mac, on your Apple TV, on your Watch (please admire the teeny tiny folder icon) and in CarPlay.

We’ve also added a Mute button in CarPlay for folks who cannot do that otherwise from their car’s controls.

Other changes include improved accessibility for low vision users and better song artwork handling (both in Player view and History view).

Shazam Support
- You can enable Shazam automatic song recognition in Settings. Once activated, Eter will periodically use Shazam on the stream audio to enhance song metadata in the player, improving recognition accuracy. This means you can see what’s playing (and choose to copy it to the clipboard or open in Apple Music) even when the stream does not provide track metadata.
- Permissions: Shazam requires microphone access, but within Eter, it only listens to the audio being played through the app, not your actual microphone.
- By default, Shazam recognition will be enabled for all favorite stations. You can customize this by enabling or disabling it per station in the favorites list; tap the Edit pencil to see this and other per-station settings

VoiceOver Improvements
- Better navigation in My Stations and History tabs.
- New rotor actions for the My Stations list, allowing reordering via drag & drop, moving stations to the top or bottom.
- New rotor actions to open songs in the History in Apple Music (if available) and copy song details to the clipboard.
- Additional accessibility refinements for a smoother experience.

Experimental Chromecast Support
- Paid users can enable Chromecast (Google Cast) support in Settings.
- Once enabled, a Chromecast icon will appear in the top right corner. Tap it to select a device and start or stop casting.

Additional Enhancements
- Added a preference to choose whether newly added favorite stations appear at the top or bottom of the list.
- Fixed an issue where new stations added to the top of the list didn't always appear in the first position. 2.3 02/07/2025 Eter 2.2 is here with exciting new features to enhance your listening experience!
