About this app

Shelfwave is a player for internet radio stations you find yourself. It has no station directory: you add the streams you want, then keep them on shelves with large cover art, like records in a crate.

■ Add a station your way
- Paste a stream, .pls or .m3u link
- Open a .pls or .m3u file
- Share a station's page from Chrome or another browser
- Search the web inside the app, press play on the station's own page, and add what is playing

■ Keep them on shelves
Every shelf has its own cover art. Shelves with stations come forward, and you can hide the empty ones. Make your own shelves with a name and picture of your choice, and keep your most-played stations on the favorites shelf.

■ Listen
- Keeps playing in the background, with controls in the notification and on the lock screen
- Shows the current song title when the station sends one, and keeps a history of songs you heard
- Copy a song title, or look it up in a music store

■ Your shelves stay on your phone
Your shelves and stations are saved on your device and come back through Android backup when you move to a new phone.

■ Getting started
A built-in guide walks you through adding a station once, using practice stations we run ourselves. A few stations we run are on the shelves from the start, so there is something to hear right away. Every other station is one you add. Please listen to stations in line with each station's own terms.
