Showing music in Local chat.

[Aiko Faith]

I noticed when I was at a welcome area someone's Playlist was showing what they were listening to but I didn't hear what was playing. I thought that was interesting.

How does one show music you are playing in Local chat, I'm not taking about djing nor am I talking about land owners.

In Firestorm: Preferences > Sound and Media:

• Show stream title notifications: For audio streams that supply this information, the song title will be shown. Can be set to:
  • Off
  • Toasts
  • Nearby Chat
    • Send stream title to chat channel: Lets you choose what channel the viewer uses for the above option.

This feature is also available in Singularity viewer (and maybe other TPVs but I can't be sure):

• Singularity -> Streaming Audio Display, find out what song is playing.
  • Alternatively: Vanity->General->Announce music stream's metadata in local chat when tuned in

Please not that this feature is not available in SL official viewer.

My question is this, how do you know what channel to use? and what are they using besides Firestorm to stream this? Media player? pandora? I'm trying to understand.
