Social Media Sharing & Integrations
It would be super nice if the content providers on Live 365 were able to allow their users to share their listening experience with friends on social media. Currently the Live 365 share feature allows listeners to share the station which is good, but most people want to let their friends know the song that they want others to hear. The attached screen shot is good first step if that is what people saw when using share on Live 365.
The Listen Now API works good on websites but not so good on social media pages such as Facebook, because the content doesn't display on the Facebook page, users have to click the Live 365 banner then they are taken to a page that shows the station and song that is playing.

Yes, this would be very useful. The tweet fires when the song begins, it's not in advance. I have used it on another platform, and it helps tremendously. It says 'Now Playing' and the artist and title with the logo and link to click to your station and listen live! -

Rob MergedThe ability to promote songs, playlist, etc directly from the back end of the software would be extremely helpful. Added bonus: the ability to schedule posts to some degree.

Will MergedI think this is something the station DKFM has, and they tweet every song with album art pic (which seems impossible for a lIve DJ to keep up on and perform other duties without some automation). But even in the Auto-DJ mode this feature would be cooll and especially to have it automatically use the #np or #nowplaying hashtags.

Bogdan Admin MergedI just want to clarify that according to the DMCA law. prior announcements are forbidden. "A Webcaster must not publish an advance program schedule that discloses: (i) the titles of specific songs, (ii) the names of albums or (iii) the names of artists to be transmitted"

Candice Tillman MergedYes. I totally agree. Any integration feature (s) connected to the Live 365 account that would automatically tweet or Facebook my current playing tracks would help do the job of multiple people. It would be so helpful

Ron Hamilton MergedThis feature was on another platform for Twitter and Facebook til FB changed their policy! It would be awesome to have and it would help us reach our listeners and bring new ones to my network!

O. Domino MergedAlso, the ability to integrate with Twitter to auto-tweet "Now Playing" song along with artwork, a hashtag and maybe even an "@" mention would also be great instead of broadcasters being subjected to paying a third party company.

Dan B MergedI've seen similar features on other platforms.
In short you could turn it on and specify how often the software auto-tweets out what is playing with a #nowplaying hashtag. It helps build visibility for the station.
Surprised there aren't more upvotes for this. -

Lawrence Atkinson MergedThe platform I was on before here allowed for the Tweet #NowPlaying on (station name) via twitter. A lot of artists who follow the station actually retweeted when their music played which allowed for more visibilty to the station and gained more listeners

David BattleThis would be a great addition when it is used with social media management tools like Hootsuite, Buffer, Sendible, etc. Then, a track that is being played could be shared across multiple social platforms and blogs.

New Tec Radio MergedThere are more social media options today than the traditional three (X/FB/Insta). I'm sure I am not the only station not using one or more of the three default choices. Please consider adding more, such as Threads and Bluesky, or turn the existing three options into drop down menus so we can select the ones we participate in. A drop down could be expanded beyond SM platforms and include things like YouTube pages, Bandcamp profiles, etc.

David Furman MergedBy partnering with Discord, Live365 broadcasters could promote their stations with "listener parties" in Discord chatrooms much the way Spotify users do. This would be without the Tune In feature.

Cinco Dave MergedDiscord is a very popular app. It would be useful if Live365 could integrate with Discord, to facilitate "listener parties" or something similar. Each member of the chat could be a separate listener (Similar to Spotify)
