Adding a radio player
To add a new radio player, just click on Add a radio.
Here you can fill in all the information to configure your radio stream on your website.
Firstly, fill in the name of your radio station. You can then set your radio station's logo, the colors of your player (only theme Donut) as well as activate track history or automatic playing.
