spinzester
A music-discovery app for community radio. Browse playlists from 350+ non-commercial stations on Spinitron and play full songs through your Apple Music subscription. Free, no ads.
What’s in it for you as a music listener? Nothing short of traveling through space and time from the comfort of your couch.
Right now, on hundreds of tiny non-commercial stations across the country, human DJs — not algorithms — are playing the music they love. A bluegrass hour in Minneapolis. Local rap over lunch in Raleigh. Late-night jazz in New Orleans. spinzester drops you into all of it.
With spinzester you can:
- play full songs, start to finish, through your Apple Music account
- save any playlist to Apple Music or Qobuz
- browse past episodes and hop between stations with ease
Open the app and RECENT SPINS jumps out at you — a live feed of what DJs are playing this minute, station call letters on the left. See something you like, or that piques your curiosity? Tap through to the playlist it came from.
What’s Spinitron? It’s where “non-commercial community and educational radio stations” (think left-of-the-dial eccentricity) log every song they play. The result is a living, public database of “spins” from 350+ stations — a window into what real DJs are spinning right now, plus a weekly Top 100 chart. spinzester is a fan tribute to spinitron.com, built to let you dive in and actually listen.
Here’s how it feels. Tap any album cover to play that song in full. Love the set? One tap saves the whole playlist. Then follow the thread — past episodes of the show, other programs on the station, wherever your curiosity leads.
