User reviews
Users appreciate the Radio Player Live extension for its simplicity, no ads, and ability to add favorites with good sound quality from diverse stations. However, many report an outdated or limited station list, instability requiring frequent restarts, and recent updates that broke key functionality or increased required permissions. The station management options are cumbersome, and support for multiple languages is lacking. Overall, it's a useful and free extension but with issues that hinder usability and station availability.
Pros
- Simple and intuitive interface with easy management of favorites.
- Ability to add or hide radio stations and support for multiple stream URLs per station.
- No advertisements, lightweight with low memory usage, and good sound quality on many stations.
- Free extension with a wide variety of radio stations, including some well-known ones appreciated by audiophiles.
- Useful for background listening at work or other occasions.
Cons
- Many radio stations listed are outdated, non-working, or very limited especially outside France; poor station list editing and updating options.
- The extension has stability issues, frequently needing to be restarted during use.
- Recent updates removed or changed features radically, sometimes breaking functionality or redirecting to external sites.
- Requires more intrusive permissions in newer versions, raising privacy concerns among users.
- Lack of multilingual support and inability to manage multiple stations easily (e.g., hiding multiple unwanted stations at once).
Recent reviews
It's a great extension. Thank you. But I'm frightened. It is written. The newest version of "Radio Player Live" has been disabled because it requires more permissions.
It can now: Read and change all your data on all websites. What data will be read or changed?
