Great job! Thanks. Edit, August 2022. It was great before. Now the small glitches seem to have been addressed. And two more stations added. Well done! Edit May 2024 Now up to 7 stations. Sweet!

Slimy cash-grab! They want $2/mo or $11 OTPay (seriously?!!?) for what they openly admit in settings are FREE stations that they DON'T have the rights to! Installed maybe ~10 days ago, and tried a few stations - haven't used it since. Today I click the extension icon & get this prompt: ------ Unlock the full experience with Lo-Fi Radio Unlimited and enjoy exclusive access to all 7 [WOOT!] premium Lo-Fi Radio stations! [BIG BUTTON]Unlock Premium Stations![/BB] [TINY PRINT]Continue with Lo-Fi Radio Free - Only one (1) station[/TP] ------ Click the settings icon in the lower right corner of the above dialog, and get: ------ Lo-Fi Radio is a service[hah!] that offers a[sic] live streams from MULTIPLE FREE STREAMING WEBSITES. Images: @chillhopmusic, @pedromirfilho, @Wegow, Sudowoodo WE DO NOT OWN THE RIGHTS of music played through these FREE MUSIC STATIONS ------ Yeah. "Premium," my derriere. There are a number of truly FREE extensions (and even more websites) giving access to THOUSANDS of truly FREE radio stations. Don't pay this absurd ransom for a simplistic extension most anyone could throw together in a day or two.
