The problem

Why station workflows
still get messy

Royalty reporting often means manual track lists, spreadsheets, and chasing down what actually played

Now Playing data can break or go blank during pre-records and continuous mixes where metadata is missing

Track logging, metadata, and reporting end up spread across separate tools that do not talk to each other

RadioCult recognises tracks automatically and logs them, timestamped and ready for royalty reporting

Now Playing stays accurate across players and the API on both live shows and pre-records

Recognition, metadata, and logging all live in the same platform you already use to broadcast

What's inside

What 24/7 Music Recognition includes

24/7 Music Recognition helps stations keep royalty logs and Now Playing data accurate without manual work. As an add-on, it continuously listens to your stream, identifies the music playing, and keeps that information connected to the rest of your station.

Automatic track logging for royalty reporting

Every track played on your stream is detected, timestamped, and stored for you. That gives stations a reliable, automatic record to support licensing and royalty reporting instead of manual logs.

  • Continuous track detection on your live stream
  • Timestamped logs ready for royalty reporting
  • No spreadsheets or manual track lists
  • A consistent record across live and pre-recorded content

Accurate Now Playing everywhere

Recognised tracks keep your Now Playing data accurate across RadioCult players and the API. Listeners and integrations see the right track, updated in real time.

  • Real-time Now Playing updates
  • Consistent metadata across players and the API
  • Accurate track information for embeds and custom builds
  • Less blank or mismatched Now Playing data

Coverage for pre-records and mixes

Now Playing should not break when you are not live. Recognition keeps working through pre-recorded shows and continuous mixes, where embedded metadata is often missing or incomplete.

  • Recognition on live and pre-recorded shows
  • Track identification through continuous mixes
  • Metadata even when uploads lack track details
  • A consistent listener experience around the clock

Per-track listening insight

Beyond logging what played, stations can see how each track performed. Partial plays are tracked, along with how many unique listeners heard each song.

  • Partial play tracking
  • Unique listeners per track
  • A clearer view of what resonates with your audience
  • Insight that supports compliance and programming decisions

Working with Radio Cult for the past couple of months has significantly improved our workflow. The easy-to-navigate interface, the storage capacity and the ability to schedule weeks or even months in advance are a fraction of the things that made our work a lot easier.
