Listen with GNOME Radio

Free internet radio for the GNOME desktop, made in Norway by Aamot Innovation. GNOME Radio is packaged in Fedora, so installing it on Fedora 45 Beta takes one command.

Install on Fedora Buy from Aamot Innovation

The in-browser stream has been retired. It didn't play reliably across Windows, macOS and Linux browsers. Install GNOME Radio for a native player with media keys, station maps and now-playing info.

Install on Fedora 45 Beta

GNOME Radio is in the official Fedora repositories. No extra repos, Flatpak remotes or COPR needed.

Get Fedora 45 Beta

For a fresh install, download Fedora Workstation 45 Beta and write it to a USB stick:

Download Fedora Workstation 45 Beta

Already on Fedora 44? Upgrade in place, then reboot into the upgrade:
```
sudo dnf upgrade --refresh
sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=45
sudo dnf offline reboot
```
If third-party packages block the upgrade, add --allowerasing to the download command. Fedora 45 is a beta; the final release is planned for 20 October 2026.
Install GNOME Radio

Open Terminal and run:
```
sudo dnf install gnome-radio
```
This installs the Fedora 45 package (version 83.0.2) together with the GStreamer plugins it needs for Ogg Vorbis and MP3 streams.
Start listening

Open Activities, search for GNOME Radio, and pick a station. Or launch from Terminal:
```
# Classic edition (C, GTK)
gnome-radio

# Object-oriented edition (Python, GTK 4, libadwaita)
gnome-radio-oop
```
If a station stays silent, run GNOME Radio from Terminal and look at the GStreamer message — it usually names the missing codec. For AAC stations, also install gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free.
Optional: build the latest release 84.0.0

Fedora 45 ships 83.0.2; release 84.0.0 is already in Rawhide. To run it on Fedora 45 now, build from the source tarball:
Show build commands
```
sudo dnf builddep gnome-radio
curl -LO https://www.gnomeradio.org/src/gnome-radio-84.0.0.tar.xz
tar xf gnome-radio-84.0.0.tar.xz
cd gnome-radio-84.0.0
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install
```
To go back to the Fedora package later, run sudo make uninstall in the same folder, then sudo dnf reinstall gnome-radio.

On Windows or macOS?

GNOME Radio is a Linux desktop application. You can still run it without replacing your current system:

Live USB

Use Fedora Media Writer (available for Windows and macOS) to create a Fedora 45 Beta USB stick, boot from it, and install GNOME Radio in the live session.

Virtual machine

Install Fedora Workstation 45 Beta in a VM such as VirtualBox, VMware or UTM, then follow the steps above inside it.

Dual boot

For everyday listening, install Fedora alongside your existing system. The Fedora installer can shrink a partition for you — back up first.
