Most things are answered below. If yours isn’t, write in — a real person reads it.
Contact
Tell us what device you were using and roughly when it happened. That is usually enough to find it.
Listening
Is it free?
Yes. There is no subscription, no account and nothing to sign in to. The station plays the moment you open it.
Why can’t I rewind or skip?
Because it is a radio station, not a playlist. Everyone listening hears the same song at the same moment, exactly as a broadcast works. That is deliberate — it is what makes it a station rather than a library.
The audio stopped or won’t start.
Reload the page, or close and reopen the channel. The station streams continuously, so reconnecting always drops you back into whatever is on air now rather than where you left off.
Can I listen in another app?
Yes. The station is also broadcast as a standard MP3 stream, which plays in VLC, most car and smart-speaker radio apps, and anything else that accepts a stream address:
It is the same broadcast you hear here. Stream players buffer ahead, so it can sit a few seconds behind this page.
Can I play it in my car?
Yes, three ways:
- Bluetooth or a cable. Open this site on your phone and press play; the car is just the speaker. Works in almost any car, no app needed.
- Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. These show apps, not websites. Install one of the radio apps below on your phone, search for BeatFlow Radio, and it plays on the car’s screen.
- A car with apps built in (Google built-in, or Alexa). Use TuneIn there, or say “Alexa, play BeatFlow Radio.”
It sounds slightly behind what I hear on another device.
Expected, and not a fault. Streaming to a television buffers a few seconds of audio ahead so playback never stutters, while a browser starts sooner. Two devices in the same room can sit a few seconds apart for that reason.
On Roku
How do I add BeatFlow Radio on Roku?
Search for BeatFlow Radio in the Roku Channel Store and add it, or open its page in the Channel Store and add it from your Roku account. You can also add it with the code BEATFLOWRADIO. It appears on your home screen within a few minutes.
How do I remove BeatFlow Radio from Roku?
Highlight the channel on your Roku home screen, press the * button on the remote, and choose Remove channel.
On Fire TV
How do I add BeatFlow Radio on Fire TV?
On the Fire TV, search for BeatFlow Radio and choose Get. Or open its page on Amazon, signed in to the same Amazon account as your Fire TV, and send it to your device from there. It plays as soon as it opens: there is nothing to sign in to.
How do I remove BeatFlow Radio from Fire TV?
Go to Settings, Applications, Manage Installed Applications, choose BeatFlow Radio, then Uninstall.
What are the square codes on the TV screen?
Scannable codes. The one beside the artwork links to where that recording can be licensed; others link to whatever is being promoted at the time. Point a phone camera at it. Nothing scans you back — see the privacy page.
On YouTube
Can I watch it on YouTube?
Yes. The station streams live on YouTube around the clock, with the same screen as the Roku and Fire TV apps: what is playing, what is next and today’s shows. Open BeatFlow Radio on YouTube Live on a phone, a computer, or any TV with the YouTube app. It is the same broadcast, running up to half a minute behind this page because YouTube buffers ahead.
Music and rights
Can I license a song I heard?
Yes — that is what the code beside the artwork is for. It opens the page for that specific recording.
I own a recording you are playing and want it removed.
Write in with the track title, the artist, and the recording’s ISRC if you have it. Rights requests are handled ahead of everything else.
Privacy
The station records how many people listened, never who. No account, no cookies for tracking, no advertising network, and no record tied to a person. The privacy page sets out exactly what is and is not kept.
