Tuning in.

PRESS PLAY

Open the player and you're on the air.

The station lives at the home page, and always at /listen. Open it and press play — the stream connects and you hear the broadcast already in progress. There's nothing to pick first; the DJ is already mid-show.

Because it's a live stream, pressing pause and playing again doesn't resume where you left off — it drops you back into the broadcast as it is now, the same as everyone else listening.

THE PLAYER

What you're looking at.

The player shows the track that's playing right now — title, artist, and cover art — with a waveform for the transport. Three panels slide out for the rest:

• Make a request — ask the DJ for a song, an artist, or a mood. See Making Requests.
• Timeline — what's played recently and what's queued up next.
• The booth — a running feed of what the DJ has been saying: intros, station IDs, the time, weather.

Now-playing info refreshes every few seconds, so the player stays in step with the broadcast without you doing anything.

NO SKIP — ON PURPOSE

There is no skip button.

A track ends when it ends. SUB/WAVE has no /skip — the only natural transition is track-end, and the mixer controls pacing. Skip is deliberately left off the lock-screen and headphone controls too, so a stray double-tap on your earbuds can't cut the song short for every other listener.

INSTALL IT

Add SUB/WAVE to your phone.

SUB/WAVE is an installable web app. Use your browser's “Add to Home Screen” / “Install” option and it runs like a native app, with its own icon. Once installed, your phone's lock screen, headphone buttons, and car display can all start and stop the stream — with the cover art of whatever is currently on the air.
