+
+<br>
+
+**1. Check the site**
+Look for links labeled "Winamp," "PLS," "M3U," or "Direct Stream."
+
+**2. The Firefox Method**
+* Install [The Stream Detector](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hls-stream-detector/) add-on.
+* In the add-on options, uncheck `Ignore direct links to media files`.
+* Play the radio on the website.
+* Click the add-on icon and select "Copy all visible URLs".
+
+**3. The Inspector Method**
+Open the web player, right-click and select **Inspect** (or press `F12`). Go to the **Network** tab, filter by "Media" or "XHR," and start the player. Look for requests ending in `.mp3`, `.aac`, `.m3u`, or starting with `icecast`/`shoutcast`.
+
+### Artist-Specific Streams
+Access single-artist, 24/7 streams from the [You.Radio](https://you.radio/search) network.
+
+**The URL Pattern:**
+`http://streaming.exclusive.radio/er/SLUG/icecast.audio`
+
+**How to create the `SLUG`:**
+Lowercase the name, then remove **spaces**, **punctuation**, and the word **"The"**.
+
+| If the Artist is... | Use this Slug |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| The Beatles | `beatles` |
+| AC/DC | `acdc` |
+| Ziggy Marley | `ziggymarley` |
+
