We’ve made some updates to the web player!
1. Double-click to Play Tracks. In response to user feedback, we’ve added a new setting that lets you choose between single-click and double-click to play tracks. Previously, tracks would play with a single click, and some users found it too easy to accidentally play a track when they intended to only select it. To adjust it, go to Settings > Playback > Double-click to Play Tracks. For existing users, the setting will default to “Off” to retain the single-click behavior you’re used to, but you can turn it on if you prefer double-click playback. New users will have double-click playback enabled by default in a future update.
2. Lyrics added to the full screen player (Premium). Lyrics now display in the web player’s full screen player, like they do on the mobile app. Premium users can view lyrics on the left side of the full screen player when they are assigned to a track, whether they were manually added or included in the track’s metadata. To open the full screen player, click the four arrows at the bottom of the mini player to expand it.
3. Ability to change play record percentage. We added a setting that allows you to choose at what percentage of a track a play is recorded. Previously, iBroadcast would automatically record a "play" at 10 seconds through. Now, you can choose whether a play is counted at 25% 50%, 75%, or 100% complete by adjusting the slider in Settings > Playback > Play Record Percent. The mobile app already has this capability. Play record percent also determines at what point in playback iBroadcast reports a play to integrated services like Last.fm.
4. News & Updates will display when there is a new article. This and future updates will appear as a message when you next open the web player, helping you stay up to date with changes and new features. These posts will be reserved for major updates, new numbered versions (such as iOS/Android version 9.4), and new features. Minor patches and other smaller updates will continue to be documented in the Android and iOS version history and the web player’s site changelog.
