We offer a range of clever, quality stuff for virtual clubs and venues.
One of our very cool features is the use of track metadata for stuff like info displays and synchronising components like stage lighting, etc.
The way this works is via the use of our ClubStuff Controller module. This component tracks the stream URL configured on your parcel or region and communicates with our API. Our API monitors the stream for currently playing track titles and sends metadata (information) about the track to the ClubStuff Controller module. The Controller then communicates with and controls other ClubStuff components, like display screens or lighting systems.
The music data mostly comes from our extensive database of millions of tracks, albums and artists but for any tracks we don’t already have data for our API queries one or more of several third party resources, like Spotify, GetSongBPM and MusicBrainz.
Our ClubStuff API also utilises AI – sometimes to augment track, album or artist information, but mostly to make sense of stream “now playing” titles which are often improperly formatted, incorrectly named or incorrectly spelt (etc). This is very important and immensely useful, as incorrect “now playing” information or formatting invariably leads to complete failure to provide data with other systems.
Not only does our system deal with track information – it also handles advertising and other information displays!!
Watch this space – exciting things are afoot for virtual club owners and venue operators!! 😉
