M3U radio playlists are audio-only M3U files — the same format used for music and podcast streams.
Load a playlist in seconds, hit play on mobile, and keep the good stuff easy to reach. We automatically hide IPTV video entries, keep the interface focused on radio listening, and make it easy to star favourites and export a cleaner playlist when you are done.
An M3U audio player is used to play internet radio and audio-only M3U playlists that contain MP3 or AAC streams. These playlists are different from IPTV video M3U files and are often used for radio stations, music streams, and talk radio.
This tool focuses specifically on radio playlists, giving mobile users a much more app-like player, faster station browsing, favourites, cleaner exports, and clear guidance when a stream is restricted by the browser.
Choose one method. The upgraded importer opens in a guided modal for upload, URL, or Xtream credentials.
Drag in a playlist from your device and we’ll keep the audio/radio entries wherever possible.
Pull in a remote list fast, then jump straight into listening, favouriting, and exporting the best stations.
Fetch from Xtream credentials, then filter down to likely radio/audio channels inside the app.
.m3u8, .ts, or obvious live TV URLs are filtered out wherever possible.
Search fast, favourite the best stations, move with previous/next, and browse in pages instead of one giant endless list.
| Moment | What you want | How this player helps |
|---|---|---|
| On the bus or train | Tap in and start listening quickly on mobile | Large controls, a more app-like player, and faster station browsing |
| Cleaning a mixed playlist | Keep radio, ditch the TV clutter | Automatically hides likely video entries and keeps the list radio-first |
| Testing a tricky stream | Work out whether the problem is the browser or the station | Explains codec, mixed-content, and browser playback limitations clearly |
| Saving the best stations | Build a favourites list you can reuse elsewhere | Star the keepers and export favourites into a new playlist |
For IPTV video streams (.m3u8 / HLS), use the M3U Video Player instead.
Radio playlists are often .m3u or .txt and point to continuous streams (MP3/AAC).
IPTV video commonly uses .m3u8 (HLS) and segmented delivery. This tool hides video entries so you can focus on radio.
#station=NameYes — many internet radio collections are shared as M3U/TXT playlists. This tool is built specifically for those.
Most commonly: the station is HTTP-only and your page is HTTPS, so the browser blocks it. VLC is more permissive.
No. We store your last playlist locally in your browser (optional convenience) so you can return later — not on the server.
Yes — export includes only the audio entries we detected, and excludes likely video items.
It is legal to use with playlists and streams you are authorised to access. This tool doesn’t bypass DRM or access controls.
