User reviews

Radio Player Live is appreciated for its wide selection of stations, ease of use, and ability to add favorites. However, users commonly report issues with a French-heavy and outdated station list with many non-working stations. Bulk management of stations is lacking, and recent updates have caused functional regressions and compatibility problems, limiting its reliability and appeal.

Pros

Offers a wide selection of radio stations including high-quality ones like FIP known for eclecticism and sound quality.
Allows adding custom radio stations and managing favorites.
Simple and intuitive user interface without ads.
Low memory footprint and supports many bitrates and codecs.
Free to use and generally works as intended for background listening.

Cons

The pre-installed station list is heavily biased towards French stations and lacks diversity, particularly missing Canadian and African stations.
Many stations in the list do not work or have become unavailable over time, causing instability.
The extension no longer supports Manifest V3, which limits compatibility and future updates.
Cannot easily remove or bulk hide unwanted stations; hiding is tedious and must be done one by one.
Recent updates have introduced bugs and changes that reduced functionality, sometimes redirecting users to an external site instead of playing music directly.

J'utilise RPL depuis des lustres, jusqu'ici, tout allait bien. L'ajout de radios personnalisées est un atout bien appréciable. Mais, depuis hier (17 Juin 2025), sans rien toucher, mystère, plus rien, nada, que dalle, plus de radios, plus de musique pour bosser 😩. J'espère que le problème va être réglé rapidement, merci d'avance.

It's a great extension. Thank you. But I'm frightened. It is written. The newest version of "Radio Player Live" has been disabled because it requires more permissions. It can now: Read and change all your data on all websites. What data will be read or changed? Display notifications

Awesome extension, but sadly it's not supported by Manifest V3 anymore... Could you please open source it?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Radio Player Live requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
