Question: What if I want to supply an XML file for the playlist information what do you need from me?
​
​Answer: If you play obscure, independent or generally rare music - it can be tricky for us to get your playlist the correct album art. In this case, an XML file is a great way to go. You will simply send us the URL for your XML and we will use the details published there to create your playlist.
​
Some formatting tips:

  • The XML should specify a URL to the album as an additional element

  • The specific names of the elements can be whatever you want

  • Ideally album art should be at least 300x300

In general these formats work:

A)

<now_playing>
  <artist>Joni Mitchell</artist>
  <song>Both Sides Now</song>
  <AlbumCover>http://someserver.com/albums/abcdef.jpg</AlbumCover></now_playing>
​

B)
<Current>
  <track>
    <artistName>Joni Mitchell</artistName>
    <songName>Both Sides Now</songName>
    <AlbumCover>http://someserver.com/albums/abcdef.jpg</AlbumCover>  </track>
</Current>
