Player Builder
Once logged into your Radio.co Account, select Listen > Web Players in the left column, then click the red Add Player button in the upper right corner.
The 'Add New Player' pop-up will appear. This will allow you to choose a player type:
Classic - An improved version of our older player. New features include; pop out, share now playing track and open in spotify buttons. The player should also provide improved compatibility with responsive websites.
Artwork - This player puts your track artwork centre stage. The controls fade away when not in use and the accent colours are extracted from the currently playing track artwork. The player also includes improved sharing and spotify integrations as above.
Once selected, give your player a name. This is a name for your player so you can identify it in your dashboard e.g: 'Website Sidebar'. This name won't be visible to listeners.
Adjust the settings to match your radio station's brand. The following options are based on the 'Classic' player. Other player types may have different options.
Name: Name of your player, only seen in your dashboard so you can identify it.
Output: Bitrate stream rate - We recommend adaptive as it automatically adjusts stream bitrate based on the listeners device. If you are on the DJ plan, this will default to your /listen stream.
