Play Radio in Chromebook

Your Chromebook also allows you to play music from Internet radio without installing any third-party programs on the computer. The built-in application that helps you listen to the Internet radio is Banshee Media Player. All you need to do in order to listen to the Internet radio is, have a good Internet connection, and the URL of the radio station that you want to listen to. Of course you can get the URLs of several Internet radio stations with a brief online search, and add multiple radio stations to Banshee Media Player.

Here is how you can use Banshee Media Player to play radio in Chromebook:

■Log on to your Chromebook.
■Click Menu (Gear icon) from the bottom-left corner on the desktop screen.



■From the displayed list, locate and hover mouse over the Sound & Video menu.
■Click Banshee from the submenu.



■Once the Banshee Media Player window opens up, locate and right-click Radio from the navigation pane in the left.
■Click Add Station from the context menu.



Note: Make sure that the Chromebook is connected to the Internet.
■On the opened Add new radio station box, type station genre and name of the station in the Station Genre and Station Name fields respectively.
■Provide a valid station URL in the Station URL field.

■Optionally, populate the Station creator, Description, Rating fields if desired.
■Click Save to add the station.



■Once done, right-click the added station from the right-most pane of the Banshee Media Player window.
■Click Play from the context menu to start playing the radio station.

Note: To add more than one radio station, you must follow the steps individually for each station.
