The Live365 TuneIn On Air stations will be distributed in TuneIn United States, United Kingdom, and Canada.
Note: Direct metadata transmission to TuneIn is not currently supported. Due to some technical difficulties, we had to delay the TuneIn AIR API release for the Live365 Dashboard. This will allow displaying metadata in real time on your TuneIn station profile. We expect this feature to be finalized and available by the end of the quarter 3 of 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, all listening sessions resulting from TuneIn via Live365 servers are still tracked for music royalty payments and are included in your overall listening.
