RadioWave is a PHP-based radio streaming portal designed for launching a modern online radio directory and streaming website.

The platform connects with the free Radio Browser API to provide access to more than 50,000 live radio stations covering music, news, sports, talk shows, and other categories from different countries and languages.

Users can search stations instantly, browse by country, genre, and language, view station details, save favorites, and listen through a sticky audio player. The player supports MP3, AAC, HLS, M3U, M3U8, and PLS streaming formats.

RadioWave includes dark and light modes, responsive layouts, multilingual support with eight included languages, Arabic RTL support, SEO-focused page structure, XML sitemap generation, dynamic metadata, OpenGraph, Twitter Cards, and Schema.org structured data.

The administration panel provides controls for featured stations, categories and collections, branding, translations, SEO settings, static pages, caching, backups, and other platform configuration.

The script uses an MVC-based PHP structure and file-based caching. It is designed to run on shared hosting, VPS, cloud hosting, and local development environments without requiring paid radio APIs.
