Listen Online Hindi Radio Stations

Listening to radio, is the best way to refresh oneself with some great songs. In this process you will definitely listen some fantastic songs, which you have never heard before and may turn up loving them the most (Trust me, I really found some cool songs in this way). As number of people using internet is rapidly increasing, there is a new trend coming up of online radio.

I have done quite a bit of research and found out some of the coolest Hindi radio stations in the whole world. Some cool hindi radio stations are also in Dubai and Paris. You can not only listen to the latest songs, as there are some radio stations, completely dedicated to old songs too.

P.S - Due to lack of time am posting a few stations today, stay tuned more stations will be added soon.

Slow Connections -
  1. Radio Teen Taal - (Paris) - 64 kbps.
  2. City 101.6 FM - (Dubai) - 64 kbps
Fast Connections -
  1. Radio Teen Taal - (Paris) - 128 kbps.
  2. Frequence India - (Paris) - 128 kbps
Hope you all have nice hours of listening some of the coolest songs. If you liked a station, please give a comment to let others know that the station is really cool (hahahaha:).

Note: Feel free to comment if you encounter any problem, I will definitely try to help you in all the ways that I can....

Radio Frequence India - Paris

The most popular Hindi radio station is here. 'Frequence India' earlier know as 'Radio Nimbooda' has the largest number of listeners and is Paris based. This is one of the first Hindi Radio stations to be streamed from Paris. Just like the radio Teen Taal this also plays mostly latest songs but has a better collection which is really refreshing. This is one of my favorites (may be after city 101.6 FM)... Hope you like it too! Enjoy!

Click Play Button! and Enjoy!
P.S. Please read the tutorial using the links below if you can't listen the radio.

128 kbps (very good quality)


If you like to continue listening, then just don't close this window. Minimise it, go to desktop (or start Menu) open 'Internet Explorer' (or new tab in Firefox) and start your work in a new window. You can enjoy songs, while surfing any other site of the world (this is not for geeks:), I will love if you explore my blog (hahahaha). I hope you have a great time listening it.

City 101.6 FM - Live Radio from Dubai

Here is one of the the coolest radio station with alot of cool RJs. Though it was a pain in the neck to find it, I am fascinated that I found this lovely radio station with lots of awesome RJs. I have been listening to it since a past few months and you know what, it's fantastic. It gets streamed from Dubai, and is really worth listening to as it mainly broadcasts great hindi songs. Here you can request songs through mails, telephone and sms too and cool buddies out there may even read your whole mail live on radio. There are a lot of internationals listeners of this fascinating station, you would need a very good luck to be picked up. As it's a real radio station you would get a very brief (1 minute) news segments of what's going in around the world and a lots of local reference but who cares:). Are you reading, come on start listening!!

Click Play Button! and enjoy!

Radio Teen Taal - Live from Paris

This is one of the best radio stations of Europe, broadcasted to the whole world from Paris. It mostly plays latest bollywood songs which is cool, and the quality is awesome. This radio station is never down, and you may fallback to it whenever you find others are not working. To my experience this station lacks when it comes to old songs but for new hit songs it's perfect. There is a plus point that this station broadcasts the same song at two different speeds, which is helpful!. For superior qulaity you may choose 128 kbps, but hey 64 kbps is preety good too! At the time of writing it's playing the one of the best songs of 2008, 'Kabhi Kabhi Aditi'. Hope you have a lovely refreshing time with this radio station.

Click Play Button! and enjoy!

Online Radio Help

I have written this as a help to the problems that can come while playing online radio, hope this helps!
  1. Radio is not working :
  2. Song is playing with gaps of a few second!
  3. Which all stations can I listen to?
  4. Why don't I get full speed as told by the ISP??

1 - Internet Explorer Users:
Internet Explorer 7 or 8 is so great, that it does not even trust 'Windows Media Player' built by same company to display in the inbuilt browser. It gives a small cute bar (LOL) at the top that "The webpage wants to use 'Windows Media Player' built by 'Microsoft Corporation' to display all its content, allow it or block it". Great, joke of the day:). Click that bar and choose 'Allow blocked content.' and it's done. And luckily from the next time you probably wouldn't need to do that. And Enjoy!

2 - Firefox or Opera Fanboys :
Firefox lovers you may need to do a litle bit of work just one time, it's just because Firefox is created by Mozilla and not Microsoft, the 'Windows Media Player' which is used in playing this radio is not properly connected to Firefox. But Hey, Firefox is one of the best browsers, and there should be a way out of that, and guess what - there is:

How to make the radio work (geeks could skip a few lines :p)
  1. Just download this small plug-in (0.3 MB). (read more at official site)
  2. Close firefox.
  3. Click "wmpfirefoxplugin" (the file you downloaded).
  4. Click 'Next' button.
  5. Another window will open click on 'I accept the terms in the Licence Agreement' in the left bottom and then click 'Next'.
  6. Then click 'Install' in the new window. Wait few seconds and click 'Finish'.
Seems like you learned the basics of installation. Cheers;) Open firefox, and yeah come on open our blog "www.hindisongss.blogspot.com". Click 'Online Radio' in the top and choose a radio station. And enjoy!
  1. Note: From the next time you just need to open our blog to treat yourself with some real cool music. Cheers!
  2. Opera Fanboys can use almost use this same method, the same plug-in works in Opera also:)

3 - Which all station can I listen to??

Based on you net speed you can find the stations that you can listen to. Here are some type of Internet connections that users generally have :-
  • Dial Up - 56 kbps max (actaully 7 KBps max:) - you can listen to stations in the dial up section at the top, while you may give 64 kbps stations a try. I hope that they stream fine (don't stop after each second).
  • CDMA - 150 kbps max (actually 18 KBps max :) - you can try all the stations, but if you have problems in 128 kbps stations, enjoy the 64 kbps streams. They are also good.
  • Boradband - (256 kpbs - 100 mbps) - well the world is yours:)
Note : If you lie in between somewhere or don't know which type of connection you have. You should start with a 128 kbps station a try and if they play continuously Jackpot!, but if you hear broken songs, it's time to try 64 kbps station and if still not getting continuous play, then dial-up section is for you buddy.

4 - My Connection is of 2 mbps and I dont even reach 0.3 MBps. Why??
Well this might be unrelated to radio, but quite alot of my freinds have asked this, so this is for them. When I was a small kid, I called my ISP (BSNL, Airtel or Tata Indicom for peolple of India), that sir you tell 256 kbps and I never get above 30 KBps, why you don't give what is promised? The gentleman replied the sentence that was printed on the manual of my net connection, 'The average speed varies between 100 kbps to 180 kbps according to the time.", "Thank you for you great answer", I dropped the line!!

The confusion prevailed and was finally wiped out when I first encountered online radio. Here is the golden answer "1 Byte is equal to 8 bits." . You might have noted that I have used small caps 'mb' and large caps 'MB' in the heading. And all that we see is in Bytes or KiloBytes (KB) or Megabytes (MB). But intelligent ISPs (Internet Service ProviderS) use for their advertising purposes bits, kilobits (kb) or megabits (mb). Hope it becomes clear with the following :-

KiloBytes per second - KBps (what we see)
kilobits per second - (what ISP's actually boast, 8 times less than a KBps, fools the customers)
MegaBytes per second - MBps
megabits per second - mbps (8 times less than a MBps, 1 mbps is equivalent to 128 KBps).

Now songs what my blog's all about, you see 128 kbps, you might now already know at which speed it is actually transferred 16 KBps (128/8 = 16, thank God! I studied Mathematics:)

Geeks : I know you are gonna kill me if I tell one more word! apologies for being so pedantic :)

This was all that I could think may possibly pose a problem, but hey you can definitely ask anything though the comments below and I will try my best to help you out.
