ETS2 and ATS radio stations

Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator read their internet radio list from one file, live_streams.sii. Pick the stations you want to drive to, from your own country or anywhere, and download the file ready to drop into the game. Only stations the game can play are offered: MP3 and Ogg streams, from the 30,000+ in the open Radio Browser directory. It is free and needs no account.

How to put the file in the game

  1. Close the game. Quit Euro Truck Simulator 2 or American Truck Simulator before you change the file.
  2. Open the game's folder. On Windows it is the Euro Truck Simulator 2 folder in Documents (the American Truck Simulator folder for ATS). On a Mac it is ~/Library/Application Support/Euro Truck Simulator 2, and on Linux ~/.local/share/Euro Truck Simulator 2, a hidden folder.
  3. Keep the old list. Rename the live_streams.sii that is already there to live_streams-old.sii, so you can go back to it.
  4. Put the new file in. Move the live_streams.sii you downloaded here into the same folder. The name has to stay exactly live_streams.sii.
  5. Tune in. Start the game, open the radio and switch to internet streams. Your stations are in the list, and the ones you starred are among the favourites.

Which stations the game can play

The radio in Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator plays MP3 and Ogg streams. Players report that AAC stations and HLS addresses stay silent, so this page offers only MP3 and Ogg stations, and leaves out playlist addresses and https addresses on unusual ports, which players report the game failing to open.

What the file looks like

A live_streams.sii with three stations. Each line is the address, the name, the genre, the language, the bitrate and a favourite mark of 0 or 1, numbered in order from 0 under a count of all of them.

Frequently asked questions

Where is live_streams.sii?

In the game's own folder, not where the game is installed: the Euro Truck Simulator 2 or American Truck Simulator folder in Documents on Windows, ~/Library/Application Support/Euro Truck Simulator 2 on a Mac, and ~/.local/share/Euro Truck Simulator 2 on Linux. If it is not there, open the radio in the game once, switch to internet streams and update the list, then quit.

How do I add a radio station to ETS2 or ATS by hand?

Each station is one line inside live_streams.sii: stream_data[number]: "address|name|genre|language|bitrate|favourite", with the parts separated by a vertical bar, a language of up to three letters and a favourite of 0 or 1. The numbers have to run in order from 0, and the stream_data: line above them has to give the total. This page writes those lines for you.

Why does a station stay silent in the game?

The game plays MP3 and Ogg streams; players report that AAC stations and HLS addresses (ending in .m3u8) stay silent, and this page leaves those out. Stations also move their streams from time to time, so an address that worked last month can stop. Pick another station or look the station up again.

Will Update from Internet remove my stations?

It can. Players report that refreshing the list in the game's radio menu can replace their own stations with the game's list. Keep the file you downloaded, and put it back if that happens.

Does the same file work in American Truck Simulator?

Yes. Both games read live_streams.sii the same way; put a copy in each game's own folder.

Can I keep the game's own stations and add mine?

Yes. Choose Add to my existing list, type the number that follows stream_data: in your current file, and paste the lines this page gives you after the last station line, before the closing brace. Then change that number to the new total, which the page shows.

Is it free, and is 72FM part of SCS Software?

It is free and needs no account. 72FM is not connected with SCS Software, the maker of Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. The stations belong to their broadcasters, and the addresses are the ones the open Radio Browser directory lists for them.

Want a station's address for something else? The stream URL finder gives it for any station, and on 72FM you can listen to radio while you play in your browser. Farming instead of trucking? Farming Simulator radio stations. Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator are games by SCS Software; 72FM is not connected with them.
