Premium Player (Add-On): How Do I Use The Artist Profiles Feature?


You must have the SoCast Premium Player to use this feature. The SoCast Premium Player is an add-on.
If you would like to upgrade to this player,  please reach out to support, or your SoCast Account Manager.

This feature can be found under Player > Radio Stream Settings > General 

Increase engagement with your music rotation by allowing users to access more information about artists when they are played on air. When a song playlist is available and a song is played, the artist name links to the corresponding artist profile in the SoCast premium website player.




When enabled, artist profiles are automatically generated using images from Apple Music and content from Last.fm if SoCast is able to match the artist info to an artist listed in Last.fm.



This feature is similar to the artist profile feature that is available in the SoCast mobile apps.
