Radiobrowser Skill Guide

Use the Radiobrowser skill to easily browse and listen to your favorite radio stations via Alexa. Below is a detailed guide to help you get started and make the most of this skill.

Enable and Launch the Skill

To enable the Radiobrowser skill for the first time, say to Alexa loud and clear:

• Alexa, enable radio browser

Once the skill is enabled, you can start it using any of the following voice commands:

• Alexa, radio browser
• Alexa, start radio browser
• Alexa, open radio browser

Navigate Through the Favorites List

Move forward and backward in your favorites list during playback using these commands:

• Alexa, next
• Alexa, previous

Select a Station by Number

To start the skill and play a specific station by its number, try these commands:

• Alexa, tell radio browser 3
• Alexa, tell radio browser number 3
• Alexa, ask radio browser for number 3

Jump to the Beginning of the Favorites List

To switch back to the first station in your favorites list during playback, use one of the following commands:

• Alexa, restart
• Alexa, start again

Additional Notes

When switching, the name of the station is read out first. After that, the playback starts. However, you also have the option of changing the name or deleting it completely. In this case, the name is not read out, but the playback of the radio stream starts directly. This function is very important for Internet radios whose language does not support Alexa. The station name is first taken from the Radio Browser database when it is inserted. If the name is too long you can shorten it. If the name has unreadable characters, then you can enter a transcription.

Radio stations are added to the Radio Browser Skill from a database. You don't have to worry about the radio streaming URLs. Also the icons of the radio stations are automatically taken over database (important for devices with screen or for the Alexa app).

You can also insert a custom streaming address by hand, e.g. from your own stream that you are streaming on the home network, or if the desired web radio is not included in the Radio Browser database but you know the streaming URL.
