Radio keeps people close to home. For Kurdish listeners spread across many countries, it's often the easiest way to hear their own language, but Kurdish stations are hard to find in big global directories. Tajdîn puts a hand-picked Kurdish list next to the world's open radio directories, in a player that keeps going while you browse. Its logo is the Roj, the sun from Kurdish deq tattoos, a sign of life and light, here broadcasting.
No accounts. No tracking. No servers of our own. Everything you save stays in your browser.
The name comes from Mem û Zîn, the great Kurdish love epic written in 1692 by Ehmedê Xanî. It tells of Mem and Zîn, two lovers kept apart by the jealous Beko, and it is often called the national epic of Kurdish literature.
Tajdîn (تاژدین) is Mem's best friend. He stands by Mem to the very end, and when Beko's treachery comes to light, it is Tajdîn who avenges him. A loyal companion who never leaves your side: that's what this radio wants to be. Hence the motto, always by your side.

- A fresh mix every time. The popup opens on new random stations, or on your favourites, a playlist, a group or a language.
- Four directories, one search. Tajdîn's Kurdish list, Radio Browser (50,000+ stations), SomaFM and laut.fm. Search by name or tag, filter by language, or use regular expressions.
- A real player. It keeps playing when the popup closes and has play/pause, previous/next, random, repeat (list, or one station with automatic reconnect), volume with mouse-wheel control, speed for local files, and an optional "On air" song line.
- A living toolbar icon. The Roj is grey when idle, amber when paused, and its wave pulses green while playing.
- Your library. Favourites (one tap away in the popup, with their own tab in Options), ordered playlists that skip offline stations, hand-picked groups, and language groups that gather every station in a language.
- Filter, search and sort everywhere. Every list (random mix, search results, favourites, playlists, groups, your stations) can be filtered by text, language and source and sorted by name, country, language, quality or source.
- Play anything. Add any stream URL as your own station, or play a link or an audio file once.
- Desktop view and website. A full-window player that starts as soon as it opens, also at 0xdolan.github.io/tajdin.
- Keyboard-first. Media keys and browser-wide shortcuts, in-app keys, and keyboard reordering of playlists.
- Backup you control. JSON export/import with a preview and merge or replace per section, between Chrome, Firefox and the web.
- Comfortable everywhere. Light, dark and system themes, keyboard and screen-reader accessible, right-to-left station names, and bundled Manrope and Sahel fonts for Latin and Arabic script.
