Better listening on phones
Let people press play and keep listening after the phone locks.
Someone visits your site for the audio. They tap play, close the screen, and keep moving. They should still see your artwork, the track name, and simple controls. If the track already has lyrics, show them where there is room.
Messages and songs people can take with them.
Your site starts the listen. The phone should keep it going.
The quiet between the verses
Artwork, title, and lyrics ready
Still playing
Not blank. Not generic. Yours.
Show them on full pages. Keep tiny players simple.
People do not keep your web page open while they listen.
They press play, lock the phone, open another app, get in the car, or put the phone down while they work.
If the phone shows a blank player, missing art, or a vague title, your station feels unfinished. If it shows the right title and artwork, the listener knows they are still with you.
What this means: iRadeo gives the phone the best track name, station art, and controls it can. If your MP3 has lyrics inside it, iRadeo can use them. If it does not, we do not make that up.
Why it matters
Lyrics should show up only where they make sense.
A tiny player has one job: play. It should not become a cramped lyrics box. Bigger station pages and full players have room to show more.
That means:
- Station page: show lyrics when the track has them.
- Full player: give lyrics their own clean area.
- Compact player: show a small lyrics button when it fits.
- Tiny bar: keep it simple and link to the station page.
Your website can do things podcast apps will not.
Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Amazon Music decide what their screens look like. Your website is the place you control.
That is where the player, playlist, lyrics, share buttons, donation link, notes, sponsor read, or next step can all work together.
No weird promises.
Phones are different. Browsers are different. Some lock screens show rich controls. Some show less. iRadeo should make the best version possible without pretending every phone behaves the same.
Same with lyrics. If the lyrics are in the MP3, use them. If the publisher does not want them shown, make it easy to turn off. If the player is too small, link to a better view.
Make your audio feel finished on the listener's phone.
Upload your tracks, publish a station page, embed the player, and let people keep listening without losing your name, artwork, or next step.
