BluOS Partners with airable to Enhance Radio and Podcast Discovery Across NAD, Bluesound, PSB and More

BluOS integrates airable, adding global radio stations and podcasts to its platform for Bluesound, NAD and more, but what does it mean for users?

BluOS App with airable podcast and internet radio integration

Tens of millions of people listen to podcasts and stream internet radio every day. The challenge isn’t access, it’s organization. With content spread across multiple apps and platforms, discovery can feel fragmented, and for many listeners that means sticking to the familiar rather than finding something new.

BluOS, the premium multi-room audio software platform from Lenbrook Media Group is addressing that with a new partnership with airable. The first phase integrates airable’s extensive global catalog of internet radio stations and podcasts directly into the BluOS Controller app.

The update gives BluOS users centralized access to a wide range of programming, from independent shows like the eCoustics Podcast to widely followed titles such as The Joe Rogan Experience, The Daily, and thousands of global radio stations. Rather than requiring separate apps, content is surfaced within the BluOS interface itself, with browsing tools organized by country, genre, city, and newly added stations.

Because BluOS operates as the software layer across hardware brands including Bluesound, NAD Electronics, PSB Speakers, DALI, Monitor Audio, Cyrus Audio, and Roksan, the integration rolls out across a broad installed base without requiring new hardware.

The goal is straightforward: streamline radio and podcast discovery inside the same control environment users already rely on for music streaming and multi-room playback.

What Is airable?

airable is a Germany-based media services provider that supplies internet radio and podcast aggregation to audio brands, automakers, and streaming platforms.

In simple terms, airable is the infrastructure layer. It licenses, organizes, and maintains access to a massive catalogue of global radio stations and podcasts, then integrates that catalogue into partner ecosystems through APIs and backend services.

Rather than each company negotiating station agreements or building its own discovery engine, airable handles:

  • Aggregation of tens of thousands of global radio stations
  • Podcast indexing and catalog updates
  • Metadata, categorization, and search tools
  • Geographic portals (country, city, genre browsing)
  • Ongoing catalogue maintenance and scalability

For platforms like BluOS, airable acts as the content backbone behind the scenes. The user experience lives inside the BluOS Controller app, but the station and podcast database, discovery structure, and updates are powered by airable’s media services platform.

It’s not a consumer-facing brand most listeners recognize — and that’s intentional. It operates quietly in the background, enabling centralized radio and podcast access without requiring users to jump between separate apps.

The Bottom Line

By integrating airable into BluOS, Lenbrook adds a large, structured catalogue of global radio stations and podcasts directly inside the BluOS Controller app. That means no separate radio app, no bouncing between podcast platforms, and no fragmented search experience.

Who benefits? Existing BluOS users across BluesoundNAD Electronics, PSB SpeakersDALIMonitor AudioCyrus Audio, and Roksan. They get broader access and improved discovery through a software update, not a hardware upgrade.

In practical terms, BluOS becomes a more complete listening hub with music, radio, and podcasts in one control environment without adding complexity.

    As someone with 2 Bluesound Amps, this could be interesting. That said, it’s not live, yet. I suspect it will be pushed out over time with other software updates.

      Catherine,

      I think it goes live this week or next week.
