The freeRadio web app was created as part of an evolving process. I create videos for YouTube which are driving videos, however I don't include sound, just the visual component. Why? Generally because of privacy of others in the car.
I also don't add music to the videos for a couple of reasons. If I add music before uploading YouTube often marks the music as a copyright strike even though I've used Microsoft's provided music. I also find I don't like the music choice of others so I'm sure others may not like my choice, but more importantly it is very time consuming and if I had to spend that time I couldn't justify making the videos. The return simply isn't there.
My original thought was it was easy for people to put on their favourite music as they watched my videos.
Over time however I found with websites I was developing I could include YouTube videos in my own web pages for my own sites such as www.SpeedCameraLocations.com.au. As my knowledge evolved I worked out I could zoom in on YouTube videos which isn't a feature provided by YouTube and sometimes that was important to me. Next I worked out I could add streaming radio to my web pages. I now had all the techniques I needed and created the freeRadio site www.freeRadio.com.au so people could play radio streams as they watched my videos or videos from others. I then added the option to freeRadio so people can enter the YouTube video's unique identifier to provide zooming and radio streaming in the background all within the one web page.
If you'd like to play a radio stream in the background of a YouTube video then give freeRadio a try.
