Choose how you want to listen
There are three ways to play music — pick whichever suits your venue best, or mix and match.
Radio
Curated stations that stream non-stop. Pick a vibe and it plays all day — no setup needed.
Genres
Browse music by genre — Easy Listening, Country, Throwback, Ambient and more. Play a full genre or add individual tracks to your own playlists.
Playlists
Build and save your own playlists from the full music library. Perfect for tailoring the exact sound you want for your venue.
Keep the music playing all day
For playlists, enable Shuffle and Repeat from the player controls at the bottom of the screen. This loops your music continuously so there's never dead air.
The app keeps playing when you lock your phone or switch to another app. Use your lock screen controls to pause, skip, or adjust volume without reopening Melodial.
All tracks in the Melodial catalogue are volume-levelled so you won't get jarring changes between songs. Just set your speaker volume once and leave it.
Create announcements (optional)
The Ads tab lets you create AI voice announcements that play automatically between tracks — perfect for specials, welcome messages, or promotions.
Tap Ads in the menu, then tap + to create a new announcement. Give it a Campaign Title (e.g. "Summer Sale"), then write your script — up to 500 characters, which is around 30 seconds of audio.
Choose how often your announcement plays — for example, setting it to 4 means it plays after every 4 music tracks. You can set it to 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, or 15, or leave it off entirely.
Choose from a selection of AI voice models — each has a different style and tone. Tap Generate Audio Preview to hear it back. Tweak your script and try again until you're happy, then save it.
Quick tips for the best experience
- Melodial streams at 128kbps — that's roughly 60 MB per hour, so it's very light on WiFi and mobile data.
- Connect your phone or tablet to a Bluetooth speaker or AUX cable for the best in-venue sound.
