How to use Radio Stations?

So, I want to use radio stations like QFM96 and Iheartradio but I have no idea how to find the 'correct URL' to use. I have no idea how to "download" a radio station either.
Anyone know how to do the radio station thing or have a tutorial link or something?

The download button in the webinterface is only for youtube to mp3 downloads.
To add a radio station, search in the shoutcast browser if the radio you want can be found there.
If not, then you have to go to the radio station website or use google to get a .pls or .m3u file which you upload to the TS3MusicBot webinterface -> radio site.

Is there a way to do it to every radio station or must the site offer such a file? Like I'm trying to find QFM96 Ohio radio station and I can't seem to find an iheartradio option either.

Every radio station has such a file, without one, it would be impossible to hear the radio station on a player.
If you can't find it, just google.
A good example to find a pls or m3u file over google is (if TS3MusicBot shoutcast browser has no results):
"RADIO STATION NAME .M3U"
or
"RADIO STATION NAME .PLS"
A lot of radio stations offer those files on their websites if you click on a vlc player/winamp symbol.
If your player on your pc starts, then you may need to right click -> save to your hard disk to get this file.

I appreciate the answers. Is it possible that certain radio stations don't offer this? The most specific one I'm trying to find is QFM96 Ohio for a friend and they have a live listening link but no .m3u or .pls option, I've looked all over their site. Unless I am looking in the wrong spots. Even googling it didn't bring me any results unfortunately.

Hello,
yes sometimes stations dont offer it and so it can be that they dont have a supported format for the TS3MusicBot.

Since no other answer from you was made i close this thread now because i am assuming that now everything works .
If you still have questions make a new thread (and maybe link to this thread - if it still belongs to this thread) or join our Support-TS3.
