Community Radio Jukebox

RECOMENDED: Bootstrap Theme https://them.es/starter-bootstrap/

Community Radio Jukebox is a sophisticated WordPress-based audio engine designed to transform static music libraries into an interactive, synchronized “broadcast” experience for hospitality venues, bars, and community spaces. It enforces a global “master clock,” ensuring every listener—regardless of geographical location or device—hears the exact same beat at the same time.

Major features include:

• Gemini 2.5 Pro AI Curator: Forget manual data entry. Upload an MP3 and our integrated AI will physically “listen” to the audio to instantly assign strict musical genres and completely transcribe the lyrics.
• Smart Station Routing: Use simple shortcodes to create isolated jukeboxes for different rooms. Play Acoustic music on the patio, Rock in the main bar, or dedicate an entire queue to a specific artist.
• Automated Schedule Takeovers: Design your venue’s timeline. Automatically transition the jukebox to “Friday Happy Hour” or “Late Night EDM,” temporarily locking the request catalog to specific tags.
• Master Clock Synchronization: Replaces expensive Icecast/Shoutcast streaming servers with decentralized, browser-based drift-correction. Everyone stays on the same second.
• The “Unkillable” Offline Engine: Silently utilizes the browser’s Cache API to buffer upcoming tracks in the background. If a patron’s Wi-Fi drops, the Jukebox seamlessly switches to local files without skipping a beat.
• Democratic Queue & Predictive UI: Gives listeners 10 votes per hour to boost their favorite tracks. Advanced “Predictive Empty States” tell patrons exactly when a song will cool down or become available.
• Venue Compliance & Safety: Instantly filter out Explicit [E] tracks during family hours. Export a comprehensive 30-Day Broadcast Log (CSV) with one click to easily handle ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC royalty reporting.
• Dedicated Lyric Pages: Generates distraction-free track pages with full lyrics, metadata, and 30-second audio previews (or full-track playback for Royalty-Free music) to drive organic SEO traffic to your venue’s site.

External Services

This plugin relies on the Google Gemini API (Generative Language API) to provide automated audio analysis.

• What the service is: The Google Gemini API is an advanced multimodal artificial intelligence service.
• What it is used for: It is used strictly in the WordPress dashboard to analyze audio tracks, automatically assign musical genres, detect explicit content, and transcribe song lyrics.
• What data is sent and when: When a site administrator explicitly clicks the “✨ Analyze Audio” button or triggers a “Bulk Scan” from the Jukebox Settings page, the plugin encodes the specific MP3 audio file and its metadata (Title/Artist) and sends it securely to the Gemini API for analysis. No data is sent automatically or on the frontend; it strictly requires manual user initiation by an administrator.
