eJukebox

Now playing in venues like yours

The free app

Every radio station in Australia and New Zealand. One tap, and the best sound it broadcasts.

eJukebox Music is a radio app for your phone, your car and your browser. Free, no account, no advertising of ours. Every station we can find a public stream for, the commercial networks and the ABC and RNZ and the little community stations, and our own eJukebox channels at the top.

Made in Australia by the people who put the music into pubs and clubs. The streams belong to the stations. The app just puts them all in one place, at their best.

No install needed

The whole app, in a browser tab.

Open ejukebox.music/app/play on a laptop, a desktop, a tablet or a phone and it is the same radio: every station, the best stream each one puts out, favourites, star ratings, what song is playing. It keeps playing when you minimise the window, switch tabs or turn the phone's screen off, and the lock screen and your earbuds control it.

Sign in with Google or Microsoft and your favourites follow you between the browser and the phone app. Or do not sign in - it works on its own, on that browser, for good.

What it does

A radio. A good one.

Every station

All of them, checked daily

More than eight hundred Australian and New Zealand stations, sorted by where you are. The list rebuilds itself every night, so a station that moves its stream comes back on its own and a dead one drops out.

The best sound

The highest quality each station puts out

Most stations broadcast several streams. The app picks the one that sounds best, marks it HD, and lets you pick a lighter one from the STREAM row if you are watching your data.

In the car

Locked, in your pocket, on the wheel

It keeps playing with the screen off. Next and previous on the steering wheel, the lock screen or your earbuds step through your favourites in the order you put them.

Record

Like a cassette, at full quality

Press Record and the app keeps what is playing until you stop it or the time you set runs out. Recordings play back like any station, phone locked, for as long as they run. For your own listening.

Ratings

Stars from real listeners

Rate a station one to five and everyone sees the average within a minute. Sort by top rated when you want to know what people in your part of the country actually listen to.

Yours

Favourites, hidden, and a backup

Keep the ones you love at the top, tuck away the ones you never want to see, and it all follows you to a new phone. No account needed - it rides on the phone you already own.

Why we made it

A venue music company made a radio app. Here is the connection.

Getting people listening.

A man in his late fifties at a country pub bar caught mid-laugh, head back a little and eyes creased almost shut.

eJukebox is not a streaming company. Everything we do is about getting people in a room to listen to music, and to stay for it. In a pub, a club or a business that means eJukebox playing the room, and the people in it requesting their own songs from their phones and taking control of the music at their favourite venue.

The app is the same idea, outside the venue. Every station you could want, the best version of each, and you in charge of what plays. Same people, same reason, different room.

accounts, sign-ups, subscriptions or ads of ours between you and the music.

Free, for good.

Our channels are in it

Hear what a venue sounds like before you walk in.

At the top of the app sit the eJukebox channels, the ones our music directors build for pubs and clubs, and a small number of live feeds from real eJukebox venues. If you run a room, that is what the trial puts in it. If you do not, they are simply good radio with no ads.

The sound

Why it sounds better than the station's own app.

A station's own app usually plays one stream, and it is not always the good one. eJukebox Music knows every stream a station puts out, what codec it uses and how many kilobits it carries, and it ranks them by how they actually sound rather than by the number. A modern AAC stream at a lower number beats an old MP3 at a higher one, so that is the one you get.

The stations stay as they were made, ads and all. We change nothing on the way through and we never sit in the middle of the stream. Your phone talks to the broadcaster directly.

Before you ask

Questions about the app.

Do I have to install the app to listen?

No. Open ejukebox.music/app/play in any browser and it is the same radio - every station, the best stream each one broadcasts, favourites, ratings and the song that is playing. It keeps playing when you minimise the window or turn your phone's screen off. The phone app adds the record button, CarPlay and Android Auto.

Is the eJukebox Music app free?

Yes, all of it. No account, no sign-up, no subscription and no advertising of ours on top of the stations. The stations carry whatever their own broadcasters put to air, exactly as they would on a radio.

Which stations are in it?

Every Australian and New Zealand station we can find a public stream for - the commercial networks, the ABC and RNZ, community and regional stations, and our own eJukebox channels at the top. The list is checked every day, so a station that moves its stream comes back on its own.

If your local station is missing, tell us through the contact page and we will add it.

Why does it sound better than the station's own app?

Most stations put out several streams at different qualities. The app picks the best-sounding one by default, and the STREAM row in the player lets you choose another if you are short on data.

Does it work in the car?

Yes. It keeps playing with the phone locked or in your pocket, and the steering-wheel or lock-screen next and previous buttons step through your favourites in the order you put them.

What are recordings for?

Missing a show on one of the eJukebox stations is the reason. On our own channels and the live venue feeds, press Record and the app keeps what is playing, at full stream quality, until you stop it or the time you set runs out. Recordings play back inside the app like any station, with the phone locked if you like.

Every other station plays live only. The broadcaster owns that stream, so the app keeps no copy of it.

I run a radio station. How do I change or remove my listing?

The app lists the stream your station already publishes, and your own servers play it to the listener - we are never in the middle, and the app never records it. To update a stream, a logo or a name, or to have a station removed, send it through the contact page with the station name. Removals are actioned within two business days. The full detail is on the broadcasters page at ejukebox.music/broadcasters.

What has a venue music company got to do with a radio app?

Everything we do is about getting people listening to music. In a pub or a club that means eJukebox playing the room and letting the people in it request their own songs. On your phone it means every station you could want and full control over what you hear. Same idea, different room.

Is there an Android version?

The app is built to run on both. iPhone is first, and the Android version follows once the iPhone one has settled.
