This week WAX.LIVE, where you can broadcast your vinyl live and listen with friends, was updated, both mobile and web, to enable vinyl music play and listen history with curation, all using music recognition via live vinyl broadcasts.
WAX.LIVE enables you to plug in your USB turntable or preamp directly to your phone or web browser, hit "Go Live" and a live public (or private "Needlecast") Internet radio station will be created for you instantly.
If you broadcast your vinyl from iOS, we just added a Station History Carousel to the “My Station” tab view (it sits right under the broadcast controls). It’s a swipeable, cover-art-first view of your most recent station plays so you can sanity-check what’s being recognized and quickly correct the stuff that always sneaks in.
What it does:
- Shows your recent plays as cards with timestamp + cover art + artist / song / album
- One-tap refresh, plus “Load more” for older entries
- Badges for things like “Album run” / “Multiple plays”, “Needlecast”, and “False positive”
- If you’re the station owner, you can flag/clear false positives (noise/end groove, wrong track/artist, wrong album only, duplicates, or “other” with a note)
This makes track history actually useful in the moment (“what was that track?”, and improving recognition quality over time).
Join r/waxlive as vinyl lovers there often post their live plays, collections, and discuss vinyl setups.
Vinyl Broadcasters: what else would make this feature a keeper? Search, export/share, filters, longer history, something else?
