For over 20 years, ComCities has helped broadcasters get on air and stay on air. This player is built on that experience: no plugins, no frameworks, no monthly fee. Live now-playing song titles, your station’s logo and colors, and buffer-free playback let you focus on your broadcasts while the player takes care of your listeners.
Why Broadcasters Choose the ComCities Player: Instant, Effortless Embed: Copy one line of code, paste it into your website, and your station is playable. No downloads, no plugins, no build tools — the player works on WordPress, Wix, custom sites, and everything in between.
Live Now-Playing Metadata: Show your listeners what’s on air right now. The player pulls live song titles and stream data directly from your Shoutcast or Icecast server, and it works with Centova Cast and MediaCP panels out of the box.
Your Station, Your Branding: Set your own logo, accent color, and station name. The player is fully self-contained, so it never clashes with your website’s design — and it looks sharp on desktop, tablet, and mobile alike.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Web Radio Player
What is a web radio player?
A web radio player is an HTML5 audio player that lets visitors listen to your internet radio station directly on your website, without opening a separate app like Winamp or iTunes. You paste a small embed code into your site, the player connects to your Shoutcast or Icecast streaming server, and your listeners press one button to tune in from any browser — desktop or mobile.
The ComCities web radio player goes further than a basic play button. It displays live now-playing information pulled straight from your stream, shows your station's logo and colors, and is fully self-contained — no plugins, no frameworks, and no conflicts with your website's existing design or code.
Is the ComCities web radio player really free?
Yes — completely free, with no subscription, no trial period, and no hidden charges. Add your station, copy the embed code, and use the player on your website for as long as you like.
Does the player work with Shoutcast and Icecast hosting?
Yes. The player supports both Shoutcast and Icecast streaming servers, including streams managed through Centova Cast and MediaCP control panels. It plays MP3, AAC, and OGG streams, whether your station is hosted with ComCities or with another radio hosting provider.
How do I embed the radio player on my website
Copy the one-line embed code for your station and paste it into your website's HTML where you want the player to appear. That's it — no downloads, no plugins, and no coding knowledge required. It works on WordPress, Wix, Joomla, and hand-built websites alike.
Does the player show now-playing song titles?
Yes. The player fetches live metadata from your streaming server and displays the current song title and artist as it changes on air, along with cover art where available — so your listeners always know what's playing.
Do I need ComCities radio hosting to use the free player?
No. The player is free for every broadcaster, not just ComCities hosting customers. If your station streams from any Shoutcast or Icecast server, you can use it. That said, if you're still looking for a home for your stream, our and plans start at $6/month with instant activation.
Does the player support SSL / HTTPS streams?
Yes. The player fully supports secure SSL streaming, which modern browsers require for audio embedded on HTTPS websites. If your website uses HTTPS, your stream should too — every ComCities hosting plan includes SSL streaming as standard.
