freeRadio web app now live. Free Radio, Internet Radio, Online Radio

I create videos of my drives and upload them to YouTube. I produce the videos without sound to ensure I don't breach copyright and respect the privacy of passengers in the car. My aim was for people to play their own radio or music in the background whilst watching the videos.

Here's a link to my YouTube channel.

I could add music to my videos whilst creating them but unfortunately I never know if YouTube are going to mark the music copyright, which they have in the past, even though the music is supposedly copyright free. I could also add free music to the video using the YouTube editor but frankly it's hard to go through all the music to find something I like, let alone what other people will like. Frankly I can't stand the music many people add to their videos on YouTube.

I decided perhaps a good way around this problem was to create my own freeRadio web app. On a desktop computer if freeRadio is opened in one tab and YouTube in another freeRadio will keep playing. Whilst this is possible on Apple iPads, it's too clumsy and on Apple iPhone the YouTube app cuts off the freeRadio sound. That's OK because most people have an older phone they can connect to their network or hotspot and use that phone as a radio.

I've put in a selection of internet radio streams for people to choose from. If you want nothing more than to listen to radio whilst travelling on the train, bus, or even at home or work, freeRadio can be used for that too.

You can find freeRadio at www.freeRadio.com.au.

Noticed VicRoads Ringwood closed when taking Practical Driving Test - Audio Guide.

On YouTube a number of people uploaded their actual driving test showing the route they took and you're able to hear the instructions they were given by the tester. This is great information for someone about to take their practical driving test. Whilst you may get another route and examiner, at least you can still see what the general process is and that's a great help in calming the nerves.

When watching the videos I thought one things was missing. I really couldn't tell where the person drove. I decided to create a map of the route taken and also link the map back to the video. Now people could easily see the route and also check out particular parts of the route very easily. You can find Practical Driving Test at https://www.PracticalDrivingTest.com.au.

Then I thought if you want to do the actual route yourself for practise, you really need to hear the instructions as the person did as they drove. I decided to add an Audio Guide to Practical Driving Test.

To see and hear the Audio Guide for Practical Driving Test in action I've created the following video which is available on YouTube. In the video I drove the same route taken by a person taking their Practical Driving Test at VicRoads Ringwood. VicRoads Ringwood has now closed but following the audio guide is still excellent practise.

I hope others find the maps and audio guide interesting and useful.
