Alien Pirate Radio overview
Alien Pirate Radio is a private desktop radio app for your own music library. It scans a user-selected music folder, plays supported audio files, reads optional RSS news bulletins, and uses locally installed AI tools such as Ollama and Kokoro to generate spoken radio-style DJ links. Your music files stay on your computer and are not uploaded. The Remote Listening feature lets you listen privately on your own devices, but this is not a public broadcasting service and does not grant rights to stream, share, or rebroadcast music.
