Showing Track Titles in the Stream

Nicecast will include track titles right in your audio stream, so your listeners know what they're hearing. Nicecast automatically reads track information from the following applications:

- Airfoil Satellite

- Ask the DJ

- Audivarna Plus

- djay Pro

- Gear Player

- iTunes

- Last.FM

- MegaSeg DJ

- MegaSeg Pro

- Musicality

- QuickTime Player

- Radiant Player

- RadioLogik

- Radium

- Sonora

- Spotify

- Swinsian

- VLC

- Vox

Using the Track Title Source Preference

If the audio source for your broadcast (as configured in the Broadcast window's Source drawer) is set to one of the above applications, Nicecast will automatically include track titles from it in your stream. However, if you have a setup where the application is not the direct source, you can still configure Nicecast to pull track titles from it. Configure the “Track Title Source” preference, found in the Preferences window, to pull track titles from your desired application.

Manual Track Titles with the NowPlaying.txt File

If you wish to manually control track titles, you can do so with the NowPlaying.txt file. Nicecast will read track titles manually from this text file. This file must be located at `~/Library/Application Support/Nicecast/NowPlaying.txt`.

Follow this format:
Title: Come Together
Artist: The Beatles
Album: Abbey Road
Time: 04:20

All fields are optional, and Nicecast will read from the file every 5 seconds.

Note: When the NowPlaying.txt file exists, Nicecast will always read from it. If you wish to have Nicecast automatically pull titles directly from the source application, be sure to remove the NowPlaying.txt file.
