WaveSphere vs plain radio directories
A stream directory answers “what is the URL?” A listening product answers “can I enjoy radio for the next hour?” WaveSphere aims at the second job.
Directories are useful — and incomplete
Public radio-browser style APIs power many apps. WaveSphere uses similar open metadata, then wraps it in UI: search, map, EQ, sleep timer, deep links, and optional party rooms.
Comparison snapshot
- Directory site: list + raw link

Trust posture
No fake public listener vanity metrics. Station ownership stays with operators. Removal path: Copyright.
