Using Aiir Connect to update Now Playing metadata
Aiir Connect allows you to update the Now Playing metadata used by your Aiir-powered website, mobile app, Alexa skill or player using a local file on your PC.
On this page, we'll explain how to configure a Now Playing job in Aiir Connect.
Creating a Now Playing job
After setting up your Aiir account, click the 'New' button at the top of the main Aiir Connect window to create a new job.
Then choose the "Now Playing" job type and switch to the Now Playing tab, where you can set the following options:
| Station | Which station in Aiir will show the metadata sent by this job. |
| Now Playing file | The location of the Now Playing file produced by your automation system. |
| Text format | Specify how the contents of the file is structured. You can preview the various options further down the window to make sure it is set correctly. |
| Delay sending by | If you notice the next song appearing in Aiir before your stream audio updates, you can delay the metadata being sent to match what listeners will hear on your stream. |
