Song Titles and Artwork Now Appear on Media Controls
The latest update to the Pro Radio music player ensures that your listeners can now see song titles, artists, and artwork directly on their device’s media controls. Whether they are using an iPhone, Mac, Android, or Windows computer, the player now sends track information to the lock screen or system media panel.
This means users can instantly check the current song without opening their browser. The seamless integration enhances the listening experience, making it more intuitive and engaging for your audience.
Expanded Support for Streaming Providers
Pro Radio now supports over 20 streaming providers, making it one of the most versatile music players for WordPress. With this update, three additional streaming services are now fully compatible:
Everest Cast
