I want to love this. I leave these stations on in the background anyway and being able to change them like a radio station is a desirable feature.

It's missing 2 key features that will prevent me from using it and recommending it to everyone I know:

1) No volume control. You could argue this is more a failure of my browser, but it's easier if you just add a volume control. Bonus points if up/down arrows controls work to control it. Really, all the youtube keyboard controls would be helpful here.

2) YouTube sometimes detects my bitrate incorrectly and I need to manually set it to highest. I don't know why this happens, but it does. Let me change that somehow on your site. Even if I have to opt-in to seeing a full youtube player to set it, that's ok.

I would also like a convenient way to get this on my TV. I wonder which android TV devices can install PWAs now.

have to appreciate the irony in worrying about the bitrate of simulated lo-fi crackling

Check out https://radioparadise.com

It has volume control, you can skip songs, there are 4 different channels (Main, Rock, Mellow, Eclectic) and you can even make your own channel of songs that you rated 7 out of 10 or more.

No ads, purely listener supported. It has a phone app too where you can set bitrate per Wifi/Mobile data and you can also set up caching to listen when you're offline or during tunnels when travelling.

Looks like a Pull request for the volume control was created[1]. Hopefully the author will merge it soon. Internet is awesome

Agree to #1 for sure (I use the Force HD chrome plugin for #2). Please add a volume control button!

It never occurred to me to fix that with an extension, good tip.
