Along with visual text information regarding the show, program, artist, song, album and copyright information, you can send one or more displayed images, such as the album cover or artist’s head shot. Both the text and image include a clickable URL that will take the listener to a web page of that artist, his ecommerce site, or wherever you would like the listener sent.


There is an available option to auto-generate iTunes Album Art as part of the ingest process. If the track is available in iTunes the URL and Album Art will be used.  The radio program keeps playing while the listener makes this journey. You fill in the URL field in the playlist item dialog when loading the songs or items into the server. When in live mode, the annotation and associated URL revert to the station information initially set up in the Station preference dialog.


Now that there are many ways to listen to Internet radio the URL you place into your stream is not always available.  For example, if you listen to the station through an AppleTV that link is not available
