Friday livestreams start with a BANG as we work LIVE to demo adding synced lyrics to Spotify.
You know when you listen to a streaming song and there are lyrics, and they scroll with correct timing? That's what we are working on today.
PLUS, be here live so we can chat with you and answer your questions.
BONUS, if everything looks good, we might roll directly into the next episode of The Smile Syndicate Music Hour podcast! If this happens, it will be a miracle of technology and patience.
In the last poll, you said pie was the best, and at The Smile Syndicate, we agree.
For today's poll, which song do you most want to see synced? We will play the song and run through the lyrics with you in detail.
I stitched these together to give you 5-in-1. These videos have been getting up to 2000 views, which is crazy for a small account with only 61 subscribers. We are watching our stats like HAWKS this January to see if our advertising plus TikTok plus a few other targeted efforts will have a noticeable impact on audience.
We also finally fixed our hosting situation, which has been a 3-month long disaster. Our first new hosting option decided to shut down just after we joined them! We are now at Zencastr, and I built a pretty sparkly website to go with it. So things are coming together.
I think we are overdue for a livestream, too. Let’s book one soon!
How has your January been? Let us know about your projects!
The Canadian Podcasting Awards were finally live-streamed tonight. Join Miss Elizabeth, Jason and Jim as we watch the show. There's some pretty good content at 55:45 where Jason notices a French speaking winner has no subtitles, and translates LIVE!
This video ends suddenly at the hour mark, but you can watch the continuation for a satisfying end.
If you're considering listening to this, the latest episode of HELLO, SMILETON, then consider this: you're gonna have the socks and pants entertained right off you and kudos for the sound entertainment choice you're about to make.
Jason and Miss Elizabeth bring you comedy and original music from their home town of Smileton and this heady mix is gonna getcha where ya need to be.
Miss Elizabeth brings us a vintage edition of the SMILETON NEWS. Small town news was never so blockbustery. And that's not all! How about a classic installment of ACCUSCOPE HOROSCOPE where the fevered workings of Jason's inner mind spew out all manner of uncannily accurate prognostications. Sounds messy, but it's actually real fun.
Add a couple of Smile Syndicate songs to the mix and I'd say you've got a pretty decent show right there, I'd say. Good work!
HELLO, SMILETON. If You Lived Here, You'd Be Home Already.
