About Melo – Live Radio & Podcasts
Live radio from every corner of the world, and podcasts in your language — 39,000 stations in 103 languages from 193 countries, and 79,000 shows. Free, with no advertising, no accounts and no tracking. Melo is a radio player for everyone who loves radio: the station from home, the news from the country you live in, the jazz channel from the other side of the world. National and public broadcasters, city FM, community radio and the small web radios the big apps never list — each played from the broadcaster's own public stream. RADIO FROM EVERYWHERE • Browse by country, state, language or genre — music, news and talk, sport, classical, jazz, devotional, retro and more • Stations in English, Spanish, Arabic, French, Portuguese, German, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil and 92 more languages • The deepest Indian-language catalogue anywhere — Malayalam, Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali, Marathi, Punjabi, Gujarati and Urdu — with Gulf and diaspora stations • "Listening right now" and Trending: see what other listeners are playing EVERYTHING A RADIO APP SHOULD HAVE • Now playing — the song and artist when the station broadcasts them, with a history of what you have heard • Favourites, recents and instant search across every station, place and genre • Sleep timer, and a wake-to-radio alarm • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets • Car mode with oversized controls, and CarPlay • Apple Watch app that works on its own, with your favourites synced from the phone • Apple TV app for the living room, with Top Shelf • App Clip — tap a shared station link and it plays, no install needed • AirPlay to HomePod, Apple TV and speakers; SharePlay on a FaceTime call • Siri and Shortcuts: ask Siri to play your favourite station on Melo PODCASTS IN YOUR LANGUAGE • 79,000 shows in a directory by category, topic and language, with your languages first • Follow a show, pick up where you stopped, and let the next episode play • Playback speed, chapters and transcripts • Download episodes to listen with no connection • One search for radio and podcasts together WORKS ON A BAD CONNECTION The station list is saved on your phone, so Melo opens and lets you browse with no internet at all. If a stream drops, Melo switches to the station's backup stream automatically. Artwork is cached so it costs no data the second time. LIGHT AND PRIVATE • No ads, ever • No sign-up, no login, no tracking — your favourites and history stay on your device • To improve the directory, Melo counts which stations and shows are played and which searches find nothing — anonymously, never linked to you IN YOUR LANGUAGE The app is available in English, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Urdu, Odia, Assamese, Arabic, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese, with full right-to-left support. ABOUT THE STATIONS Melo is a player, not a broadcaster. Every station streams directly from the broadcaster that runs it, and their content is theirs. Streams sometimes go offline without notice — if one stops working, email [email protected] and we will fix or replace it. Missing your favourite station? Email [email protected] and we will add it.
