What is bitrate, and how is it related to radio streaming and internet usage?

Bitrate refers to the audio quality of a radio stream and directly affects internet data usage. A higher bitrate gives better sound quality but consumes more data, while a lower bitrate uses less data with slightly reduced audio quality. Available bitrates depend on what the radio broadcaster provides.

How to change the bitrate of a radio station

Method 1: Change bitrate from the station list

1. Open the Radio FM app

2. Tap the radio station you want to play

3. Tap the Bitrate icon next to the station name

4. Select the bitrate from the available options

Method 2: Change bitrate from the full player

1. Open the Radio FM app

2. Search for a station or select one from Country in the Radio tab

3. Open the station in the Full Player

4. Choose the stream quality you want to listen to

Important note about data usage

Internet data consumption depends on the selected bitrate.
For example, listening to a radio stream at 64 kbps for 5 minutes uses approximately 2.4 MB of data. Higher bitrates will consume more data.
