Listen to Anywhere

Drag a needle across a globe and hear whatever it lands on. Thousands of stations placed where they broadcast from, swept west to east the way the sun goes. No sign-up, nothing recorded.

A dial across the earth

Why it sweeps west to east

The needle runs by longitude, so a drag crosses continents the way the sun does and a country arrives as a run of stations rather than scattered entries in a list.

Within the same longitude the busier station comes first, so a sweep across a city lands on what most people are listening to.

Why some are missing

Only stations that stream over an encrypted connection are on the dial. A page served over https cannot play an unencrypted stream — the browser blocks it silently — so including them would mean a third of the needle playing nothing.

The count of what was left out is shown when the dial loads.

Why some do not play

These are volunteer-listed addresses and a fair share are dead at any moment. A station that will not start says so and offers the next one along rather than sitting silent.

Positions are where somebody said the transmitter is, often the studio and sometimes a country’s centre point.

Stations from Radio Browser, a community catalogue in the public domain. No key, no sign-up, and no account is needed to listen. This site caches their answers for six hours and identifies itself when asking, as their guidance requests — the service runs on volunteer mirrors and one request per visitor would be a poor way to treat it. Audio is streamed directly from each broadcaster to you; nothing passes through this site, and no listening is recorded anywhere here.

Why this matters here

Older Indian survey and revenue records sit on the Everest spheroid, not WGS 84. Treating one as the other puts everything a few hundred metres out — enough to move a plot boundary onto a neighbour.

Indian systems included

Kalianpur 1880, 1937 and 1975, the India zone grids, UTM zones 42N to 47N on both WGS 84 and Indian datums, and the WGS 84 state systems.

Bulk paste

Paste a column straight out of a spreadsheet. Anything after the first two values is carried through as a label, and the result downloads as CSV.

Nothing leaves your device

The arithmetic runs in your browser with proj4. No coordinate is transmitted, logged or stored anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

Which coordinate systems are supported?

WGS 84 and Web Mercator, UTM zones 42N to 47N on both WGS 84 and Indian datums, the Kalianpur India zone grids, and the WGS 84 state systems including Maharashtra. Each is listed with its EPSG code so you can check it against your source.

How accurate is the datum shift?

Transformations use the standard seven-parameter shifts published for each datum. Between Everest-based Indian datums and WGS 84 the difference is a few hundred metres, so using the wrong one is immediately obvious on the map preview.

Can I convert a whole list at once?

Yes. Switch to the bulk tab and paste a column. Comma, tab, semicolon or space separated all work, and anything after the first two values is kept as a label. Download the result as CSV.

Which value goes in which box?

Easting or longitude on the left, northing or latitude on the right. The labels change with the system you pick, so you never have to remember. Bulk mode has a swap option.

Is anything uploaded?

No. Everything runs in your browser using proj4, so no coordinate ever leaves your device.
