About AudioRealm
The story behind your source for music on the web.
Our Story
For years, the name “AudioRealm” belonged to a corporate directory at audiorealm.com — operated by Spacial Audio, the company behind SAM Broadcaster. It was where thousands of independent internet-radio stations went to be found. Then its owners walked away and decommissioned the service, leaving that entire community without a home.
We didn’t let the idea die. AudioRealm.net is an independent revival — a separate platform, built and run by broadcasters, for broadcasters. When the corporate owner abandoned the concept, we picked up the torch on the .net domain and rebuilt it from scratch: a live, modern, genuinely free directory with thousands of active stations, real-time listener counts, and zero corporate gatekeeping.
To be crystal clear: AudioRealm.net is not affiliated with, owned by, or a continuation of the former audiorealm.com or its corporate owners. That service is gone. This one is alive, independent, and run by people who actually love internet radio — and we’re just getting started.
Our Mission
AudioRealm exists to celebrate internet radio as an art form. We believe every station — whether it’s a massive network or a single person streaming from their living room — deserves to be discovered. Our directory connects listeners with thousands of live streams spanning every genre, format, and corner of the globe.

Built for the Community
Internet radio has always been a grassroots movement. AudioRealm honours that legacy by keeping the focus on the broadcasters and the listeners — not the platform.
The Spirit of Internet Radio
Before streaming services turned music into background noise, internet radio was something different. It was personal. A DJ in Tokyo spinning city pop at 3am. A jazz station run out of a flat in London. A metalhead in São Paulo sharing deep cuts with twelve loyal listeners. Every stream was a labour of love.
That spirit never died — it just went underground. Thousands of independent stations still broadcast every day, powered by Icecast, SHOUTcast, and sheer determination. AudioRealm is here to make sure those stations get heard.
