What are Web Links in PlayIt Live and how do I access them?

Web Links are a convenient feature in PlayIt Live that allow you to quickly search for information about your tracks online. They appear as additional options in the context menu when you right-click on any track.

What are Web Links used for:

  • Searching for artist information on Wikipedia
  • Looking up track details on music databases like AllMusic or Discogs
  • Finding lyrics, reviews, or additional information about songs
  • Searching Google for general information about artists or tracks

How to access Web Links:

  1. Right-click on any track in the main PlayIt Live interface
  2. Look for your configured Web Links at the bottom of the context menu
  3. Click on the desired link to open it in your web browser

Where to find them:

  • Main interface track list (right-click any track)
  • Segue editor (right-click tracks when editing segues)
  • Playout log (use the ellipsis button or right-click menu)

Setting up Web Links: Go to File > Settings > Web Links to configure your links. You can add search engines, music databases, or any website that accepts search parameters. Each link can use placeholders like {artist}, {title}, and {album} which are automatically replaced with the track's information when clicked.

Web Links save time by eliminating the need to manually type artist or track names into search engines - simply right-click and search!
