How It Works
Option 1: Claim Existing Station
If your station is already in our database (from Radio Browser API):
- Search for your station by name
- Claim ownership by clicking the "Claim" button
- Verify you own the website by adding HTML code or uploading a file
- Start editing your station's information!
Option 2: Submit New Station
If your station is not yet in our database:
- Fill out the form with your station details
- Verify ownership of your website domain
- Wait for approval from our admin team (1-3 days)
- Your station goes live on RadioStar!
Ownership Verification
To ensure legitimate ownership, you must prove you control your station's website. Choose one method:
Method 1: HTML Meta Tag
Easier method - Recommended
Add a simple meta tag to your website's homepage:
<meta name="radiostar-verification" content="YOUR-TOKEN">
- Quick and easy
- No file upload needed
- Works with any CMS
Method 2: File Upload
Alternative method
Upload a verification file to your website's root directory:
radiostar-verify-TOKEN.txt
- No HTML editing required
- Simple file upload
- Easy to test access
- You must own or control the homepage domain listed for your station
- Verification tokens expire after 7 days (you can extend them)
- Once verified, you can remove the verification code from your website
- Stream URL and homepage can be on different domains (common with third-party streaming)
