The Music Player allows you to play your locally download music and control it via the Music Player Action. Music can be loaded by navigating to the Music Player page and clicking on the Folder icon on the right-side. From there, select the folder that has your music in it and Mix It Up will automatically load in all valid music files from that folder and all direct sub-folders. Each time music is loaded in to the Music Player, the order of the songs are randomized.

The following are the list of support music file formats:

Why not YouTube / Spotify?

A common question that is asked is why the Music Player service does not allow for integration with YouTube or Spotify. The reason for this comes down to the Terms of Services for both, which do not allow the re-broadcasting of content from their services (IE, you are not allows to play music from them in your stream). You can find detailed information at the link below related to why our initial Song Requests feature was removed in the past due to those same reasons:
