A free music app streams CD-quality radio with no ads or account

A new app called Audiophile.fm lets anyone listen to high-quality internet radio for free. There is no account to make, no subscription and no ads inside the app. Tom's Guide reviewer Erin Bashford tried it for about an hour and said she could not find a catch.

What it does

The app collects radio stations that stream lossless audio, which means the sound is not squeezed to save data. Stations come as FLAC files, a format that keeps full sound quality. Listeners can switch stations as often as they like. Favorites are saved, each station lists its genres, and the app suggests more stations once you like one.

It works like radio, so you cannot pick individual songs. It is better suited to finding new music than playing a specific track.

The fine print

• Some stations play their own ads, and those cannot be skipped.
• AirPlay and Google Cast are not supported yet.
• Bluetooth earbuds, wired headphones and bookshelf speakers all work.
• It runs on iOS 26 and later, and on Android.

Who is behind it

Developer Bojan Vidanovic began the project in 2024 to make lossless stations easier to find. He says he funds it himself. It was cheap at the start, he said, but costs are now starting to mount. He also confirmed the stations are free.

The reviewer says this is not pirating, because radio stations hold licenses and royalty agreements. The material does not say how long the app will stay free or how many stations it carries.
