Now Playing

Every track you play,live on your stream.

Now Playing connects to your DJ software and broadcasts the current track to a pro-grade overlay for OBS, your chat, and anywhere else your audience is watching — with zero copy-paste.

New in v3 · On-air detection

Only broadcasts what
the crowd actually hears

Now Playing v3 introduces a mixer-aware detection engine. Pick a preset that matches how you mix — open-format, techno, hip-hop, drum & bass, trance — or tune every signal yourself. Whether you’re cutting doubles on a hip-hop set, riding a long techno blend, or holding a trance breakdown on the filter, the customizable on-air algorithm reads your crossfader, channel faders, EQ, and filter to show the right track at the right time.

  • Presets for every mixing style, from blends to cuts
  • Reads crossfader, channel faders, EQ, and filter
  • Ignores decks you're silently cueing up
  • Fine-tune each signal weight when you go custom

New in v3 · Playlist cleanup

Broadcast-ready
track titles, always

Your USB is full of ugly file names — catalog IDs, bracketed edits, feat. tags, underscores, BPM suffixes, .mp3 extensions. Now Playing runs every track through a cleanup pipeline so your overlay only shows what your audience wants to read.

  • Smart mode enables recommended filters out of the box
  • 20+ built-in filters — brackets, feat., remix dedupe, file extensions
  • Drop in custom regex for the weird stuff only your crates have
  • Live preview — paste any title and see the clean result
  • Hide ID / unknown tracks until you type in a real name
For streamers

Overlays that actually
match your brand

Every overlay is a fully-styled scene, not a boring text box. Ship-ready themes out of the gate, and a full SDK when you want to go custom.

  • Drop-in OBS browser source — no coding
  • Dozens of built-in themes, all fully animated
  • Build your own with React or the Theme SDK
  • Transparent backgrounds for clean compositing
