Required display element. Must be accessible within one click of the listening experience and visible for at least 5 seconds at the start of each new song. Works well in a compact player bar paired with the song title.
In-app music UX built to perform
When product teams integrate Feed Radio, they're shaping how music looks, feels, and performs inside their app. Done right, it becomes a lever for session time, retention, and brand association.
Let users choose their sound with a music menu
A music menu can be as simple as a list of stations or a fully browsable experience by genre, energy, or era. You can prompt users to choose when they enter an experience, or set a default station and let them change it on their own. For more immersive apps, browsing by category or mood works well.
Keep in mind that station availability may vary by geography or product tier, so design your menu to account for those differences. Always retrieve station metadata via the SDK rather than storing it on your own servers.
Dual-stream controls
Feed.fm runs music on its own audio stream alongside your video or narration. No file editing or manual audio mixing required. Users get distinct volume controls for both, so they can find the right instructor-to-music balance for their own style. Music should also pause when your video pauses. It is a small detail, but one that adds real polish and makes the two streams feel cohesive. The SDK supports iOS, Android, React Native, and JavaScript.
What users can control
Separate sliders for video or instructor audio and music. Users control the balance between the two streams on their own terms.
Thumbs up/down feedback loops directly to the curation team, making the station smarter and more aligned to your users over time. US only.
Users can skip up to 6 times per station per hour. Keeps the experience dynamic while maintaining a lean-back, programmed feel. US only.
Dual volume as a product differentiator
CITYROW made independent volume controls for music and instructor audio one of their product's signature features. Users can dial in exactly how much of each they want, and it became the most talked-about feature among their members.
Behind the feature users love most
Keeping users inside the app
Sworkit previously sent users to external playlists, breaking the workout experience. After integrating Feed Radio with an in-app station menu, users pick their genre and stay in the app the whole time.
How they doubled retention
Music choice as a retention feature
Future pairs world-class personal trainers with SMS coaching and an in-app music menu, letting users select a curated station for every workout. Users who chose a music station logged 3.3x longer session times than those who didn't.

How trainers shape their sound
Trainer-inspired stations start with a conversation. Instructors share favorite artists, genres, moods, or a few reference tracks. Feed.fm's curation team builds a fully licensed station from scratch, refines it with listener data, and brings it back for sign off.
Trainer-curated stations start with a playlist. Instructors provide tracks that represent their sound and Feed.fm fine-tunes it for flow, energy arc, and brand alignment while managing licensing and ongoing optimization. The trainer stays hands-on, the complexity stays with us.

A few display requirements, easily designed in
Streaming licensed music requires a handful of required display elements. These must be accessible within one click of the listening experience, and at the start of each new song, all metadata must be visible for at least 5 seconds. After that, you can tuck it behind a tap or popover. Feed.fm reviews your implementation before launch to confirm everything is in order.
Artist name
Song title
Required display element. Must be accessible within one click and visible for at least 5 seconds at the start of each new song. This is the most recognizable element to users and worth keeping visible even in minimal player designs.
Album title
Required display element. Must be accessible within one click and visible for at least 5 seconds at the start of each new song. Can live inside a popover or expanded view rather than the primary player bar.
"Powered by Feed.fm" or the Feed.fm logo
One or the other is required, you don't need both. The logo can be small and tucked into the player bar alongside the other required metadata.
In-app licensing disclaimer
The full disclaimer text is provided by Feed.fm and must be present somewhere in your application. Feed.fm reviews your implementation before launch to confirm all requirements are met.
