Spinitron is a web-based playlist management and airplay data platform for non-commercial community, college, and educational radio stations. It serves stations and DJs by helping them enter, archive, publish playlists, and generate royalty reports, while also serving artists, labels, and promoters with searchable radio airplay records and chart data.
The product is built around radio station workflows. DJs can enter playlists via the web during a live show or before/after broadcast, with autocomplete and search across an existing database. It also supports uploading playlists from other programs or files, and can import playlists generated by applications such as iTunes. For automated broadcast scenarios, automation systems can connect to Spinitron over the internet to log tracks. An optional automatic music recognition add-on can monitor streams and populate playlists in real time. Stations can also maintain program schedules, publish browsable public playlist archives, generate statistical charts such as Top 30/Top 100, and export data.
Spinitron offers fairly complete website integration options, including HTML embeds, custom styling, a Public API, Metadata Push, and a JavaScript Widget, making it suitable for adding Now Playing information and playlist archives to a station website or mobile experience. For teams, the documentation clearly supports unlimited user accounts; DJs can create their own accounts or have administrators create them, and can manage their own playlists. However, more granular role permissions are not disclosed. On compliance, it supports royalty reporting for SoundExchange, BMI, and others, and states that it handles copyright issues under DMCA Safe Harbor and notice-and-takedown procedures. That said, we did not find enterprise security information such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, encryption, or backup policies.
Base subscription pricing for stations is not disclosed and requires contacting the company. Visible add-ons include automatic music recognition at $19/month and Webcast archive service starting at $20/month. Music industry search is offered in three tiers: free search covers 24 hours of airplay records; Standard costs $40/month and covers 3 months; Advanced costs $120/month and includes full historical access plus field filtering, sorting, and ranking. Stations get a 30-day full-featured free trial, with support for multiple DJs, and data can be retained or exported.
The strengths are its strong vertical focus, no-install web access, support for unlimited accounts and reporting, and coverage of playlists, schedules, archives, compliance reports, website publishing, and airplay data lookup. The drawbacks are its narrow use case, opaque base pricing, extra fees for advanced features, and limited disclosure around enterprise-grade security. It is best suited to non-commercial stations, college radio, community radio, and labels or promoters that need to track airplay on non-commercial stations.
The source material does not provide information on network access from China, RMB payments, or localization. Third-party login mentions Facebook/Google, which may create friction for domestic users, but this alone is not enough to determine accessibility. Possible China-based alternatives include building a custom playlist archive system, or using local tools for audio content management, broadcast scheduling, and data reporting.
