Guide: How to install Kodi TuneIn Radio Addon

Content for your HTPC can come in the most various ways. You can watch movies, TV shows, listen to music, even do some gaming if you want. It all boils down to what addons you like, and which ones you install. There is an addon that enables you to listen to more than 50,000 radio stations worldwide, in several languages and with music shows, talk shows and other kinds of content available at your fingertips. I am talking about the Kodi TuneIn Radio Addon. Incidentally, there is a Kodi TuneIn Radio plugin version for Emby that gives you access to the same content, which in turn is obtained from the TuneIn Radio website. If you'd rather go the Emby route, learn how to install Emby on your Windows home server and have a look at our guide to install TuneIn Radio Plugin on Emby. If you'd rather use Kodi, then keep reading. [Read: Emby: a media server alternative to Plex and Kodi]

Kodi Tunein Radio Addon Content — You Can Listen To Lots Of Radio Stations Through Kodi With The Tunein Radio Addon.

Similarly to the Kodi TuneIn Radio Plugin, on its Kodi counterpart you are able to access all the radio stations, but this time without leaving the Kodi interface. You can perform searches for your favorite radio stations using the search feature. This is easier if you use a wireless HTPC keyboard, like for example the Logitech K830 Wireless Backlit, or any other you prefer. Do you want to know how to add TuneIn to Kodi? Then keep reading:
