The Jukebox

The Jukebox brings your music library, albums and radio into a window over the canvas. Its player is shared with track cards and the canvas's now-playing controls, so you can keep listening while moving around Glob Social.

When you are signed in and music is available, choose the music-note icon above the chat icon to open it. The window has three tabs: Library, Radio and Queue. Close it with Close the jukebox or Escape. Closing the window leaves playback running.

Find music in Library#

Search your music searches the tracks in your library. Use the filters beneath it:

Each track row shows its cover, title, creator and duration. A track you hold may also be labelled Shared with you, Bought or Saved. Use Play or Pause beside it. Playing a library row uses the currently loaded list as the playback order; changing the library filter does not itself start another song.

Use Add to queue to place a held track at the end of what plays next. The download icon is Download signed WAV; see Signed downloads. Settings appears for tracks you created or can edit as a collaborator. The creator's controls include the title, cover, preview and release. See Publishing music.

Long lists have Load more when more items are available. If another page fails, choose Try loading more again. If the initial list fails to load, choose Try again. An empty filter does not mean the rest of your library is empty: try All or clear the search.

Control playback#

The block above the tabs' content shows the current song, its cover and creator, and elapsed and total time. During radio playback it also names the station.

Saving a Listr reference and saving a free track to your music library are separate actions. The Listr action keeps a track reference. Find it in the canvas side panel's Media → Tracks, with Saved selected; track references do not appear in Listr's ordinary note and snippet list. A free track's Save action instead puts that music in the Jukebox library's Saved filter.

Use Save to Listr in the current-song block and wait for Saved to Listr. If the button's message says Could not save to Listr., check your connection and choose it again. Saving a reference does not buy the track or extend the playback you are allowed. See Listr and saved lists for other kinds of saved entries.

The canvas also shows Now playing controls. They operate the same player. Open the Jukebox returns to the full window, and Search returns to the search view. On a narrow screen, use the Jukebox for the position slider and previous/next controls that are hidden in the compact bar.

If the browser has blocked sound, the compact bar offers Tap to play. Choose it to let playback start. For other audio problems, see Troubleshooting.

Arrange Queue#

The Queue tab shows Up next, excluding the currently loaded song. Each row has Move up, Move down and Remove from queue. These actions change future playback; they leave the current track playing.

If nothing is loaded, Add to queue starts the selected track straight away. It also starts that track when you are listening to a station, switching you away from radio.

When the list reaches its end, playback pauses. A station follows its own schedule, so its Queue tab says A station plays on its own schedule, so it has no queue.

Make and play albums#

Choose Albums inside Library. Open an album's name to show its tracks. Play all starts its available tracks in album order; you can also play a particular track from the expanded list. Tracks removed after a copyright notice are excluded from Play all.

To make an album:

1. Choose New album.
2. Enter an Album name, up to 80 characters.
3. Choose tracks under Add tracks. An album needs at least one track and can contain up to 30.
4. Arrange Tracks, in order by dragging a row or using Move up and Move down. Take off removes a track from the album selection.
5. Optionally choose a Pixl cover and Square, CD or Vinyl style.
6. Choose Private or Free, then Create album.

An album groups tracks you created. Choose Edit album on an existing album to edit it and Save album to submit changes. Cancel abandons the editor's current changes.

Making an album Free needs the rights confirmation and requires its tracks to be free releases already. That change cannot be reversed. An album that is already free cannot be edited through the album editor. If a release is held, the editor says Saved. This album stays private while our team reviews it…. Public listener audio is prepared after a successful release. Existing albums also have Sell on Freemarket or View listing when those controls are available.

Find radio and free tracks#

In Radio, enter at least two characters into Search stations and tracks. Results appear in Stations and Tracks. A track you have not saved or bought plays its creator's preview. A free result has Save, which adds it to your library. Use Tune in on a station to join its broadcast.

A radio station shares one position among listeners. Joining halfway through a song starts at that moment. Pausing affects your listening; resuming rejoins the station's current position. Returning to a browser tab that was asleep also refreshes your place in the broadcast.

You cannot seek, skip backwards or forwards, or repeat one track while listening to radio. The station's creator sets its order. The number beside a station says how many are listening; larger audiences appear as ranges.

Run a station#

Clear the Radio search to see My stations, then choose New station. Fill in Name and About. Names allow up to 80 characters; About allows up to 500.

Choose In order or Shuffle, then a visibility:

Use Add tracks to select from your held library. A station can contain up to 200 tracks. On this station shows the selection; Move up, Move down and Take off arrange it. With listener audio prepared, listeners can hear the full released songs without personally saving or buying them. Private tracks can be selected, but their listener audio is unavailable to people who do not hold them. Release those tracks and prepare their audio before using them for a wider audience.

Choose Create station, or Save station while editing one you own. Use the station row's Settings button to reopen it. Delete station removes the station, and Cancel closes the editor without saving its current changes. An empty station has nothing to play.

Stations keep the selected saved versions of their tracks. A creator saving a newer track version does not automatically change the version already selected for a station.

Unavailable music#

Unavailable — removed after a copyright notice disables a track's playback and other music actions. A credited person gets See the notice and answer it. Read Copyright notices for that workflow.

Audio is not available yet. The creator needs to finish publishing it. means the listener audio needs preparation. The creator can use Prepare listener audio again in Publishing music.
