# What is Internet Radio?

Internet radio stations are similar to regular radio stations, allowing an individual or organization to stream music live over the internet. Internet radio stations can be a simultaneous stream of a regular radio station, an amateur broadcasting their own station, or commercial internet radio stations that include live DJs and even commercials.

# Add Radio Station

To add an internet radio station to Banshee, press Add Station in the upper right hand corner of Banshee or, from the menu, choose MediaAdd Station.

From the internet radio station's webpage, copy the link to their stream URL in your web browser. In most browsers, you can right click on the link and press Copy Link.

Banshee will prompt you to enter the Station Genre. Choose the kind of music the internet radio station plays from the available drop down selections. You will then need to enter the Station Name.
