Product foundation
Built around the listener’s choice.
The launch architecture keeps RadioMap24 static and inexpensive to serve. The catalogue supports geographic discovery without placing a RadioMap24 server between a listener and a station.
- 01
Direct station audio
Playback follows a deliberate station choice and connects the browser directly to the selected station or stream host. RadioMap24 does not host, record or transcode audio.
- 02
Map and list together
Geographic discovery has a complete text-list equivalent, so essential station access never depends on a canvas or WebGL map.
- 03
Static public path
Pages, styles and catalogue shards are static assets. There is no public database or account wall in the ordinary listening path, and station audio connects directly from the listener’s browser to the selected stream host.
Current public architecture
A static catalogue with station-direct playback.
RadioMap24 publishes a versioned catalogue snapshot as static files. When a listener chooses Play, the browser connects to the selected station or its stream host rather than sending the audio through a RadioMap24 server.
