Based on listener-experience with RadioDJ:

• Need a refresh button for current title, if auto-update can't be made reliable
• Current title should have:
  • link to purchase or download
    • (probably there should be site option to allow artists to have the option to disable downloads of their material, on a track-by-track basis; I'd only enable this if there is demand and good reasons)
  • rating option (indicate how much you like/dislike the song)
    • better: rate how well it fits into one or more given genres or personal topics
    • this would let artists get an idea of what is working for the audience (and what isn't)
    • would also let the site create popularity charts, to drive further interest in listening
  • link to artist information
    • artist info should include list of all songs currently in rotation or in database; link to artist web site(s)
  • additional info: when originally uploaded; how many times played; ratings
  • distinct from the "ratings": a "boost" (aka "play this again soon") button. These are aggregated to give tracks heavier play, but decay over time. If a lot of people boost a track today, it might get played a lot today, but the effect would decrease over the course of a day or a week (decay-rate could be a site option)
