Stationhead just might revolutionise the music industry.
Originally built on the Spotify API, Stationhead allows users to broadcast their playlists as if they were on the radio; users can DJ songs, chat, and engage with listeners through comments and live calls. Just download the app, connect it to your Spotify account and start broadcasting. (You have to be a premium Spotify user, although they have recently added Apple Music)
Key Features
- Live broadcasting of your playlist (which continues even when you leave)
- Track ‘bite’. If you like a song that is being played, you can ‘bite’ the track to add it your own playlist.
- Live commenting
- Live on-air calls with listeners
- Cross-platform listening (broadcast with Spotify, listen with your Apple Music account)
Something really cool!
What’s cool about STATIONHEAD is the way it works. Unlike a normal radio broadcast where the DJ plays the song out to all the listeners, when a listener tunes into STATIONHEAD the app signals to their account (Spotify or Apple Music) to play the song in sync with everybody elses. This means that each listener counts as one song stream, which is a strong incentive for artists and labels to put on a good show because, you know, more listeners, more streams, more money.
