New Songs, Top 10 Song Lists and more - AOL Radio Blog

• Improved audio playback - now with seamless song mixes and transitions! - The most significant update in the new AOL Radio player is that you will get a better listening experience on AOL Radio stations. We've added crossfading playback, which means songs will cut right away or even fade into next song. This leads to less silence between songs and more music for you. Music will flow from one song to another. It will be like having a live DJ right on your own computer!
• Resume a station where you left off - If you are listening to an AOL Radio station and you are in the middle of a song, you can switch to another station to see what's playing elsewhere. When you return to that station, the song will resume right where it left off. You don't even have to hit the pause button; it will automatically do that for you.
• Search station names, genres, cities, local stations - The search box right above the station listing will help you find what you're looking for. Searching for 'rock' for example will pull up any station in our rock genre, as well as any station name with the word 'rock' in it. Searching for 'New York' will pull up any stations based in New York.
• Artist Bios & Pictures* - Get artist bios and photos for artists that are currently playing on your AOL Radio player.
  * - Where available
• Share your station or artist with friends - Like what you're hearing? Have one-click access to tell your friends on Facebook, Twitter and more. Share which station you're listening to with a direct link or tell everyone the artist you're really liking now.

Quick Guide to the New AOL Radio Player

Launch the New AOL Radio Player

• Static Flash Pop-Up Window - Some users might have seen a Flash Pop-Up about storage settings with an 'Allow' or 'Deny' button but clicking on either button would not do anything and a station couldn't be changed. We've updated the player so that this window is now clickable. If you see this pop-up message, click on 'Allow'. You will only have to do this once.
• Music Does Not Resume After Pausing - Some users on Firefox or Google Chrome experienced issues when trying to resume music after pausing. The new update fixes this bug and users will be able to hear the rest of the song after pausing mid-way.

1) You will be at a page that says 'Flash Player Help' at the top and 'Website Storage Settings panel' underneath.

Underneath 'Visited Websites' find and click on player.play.it. (see image below)

2) Drag the slider above that window (see above) to the right until it says 1 MB. If you'd like, you can increase the storage size further by moving the slider to the right to 10MB or higher.
