Unified Listening

This section details the APIs for building a continuous music stream for your app or service. Unified Listening has two different executions - bith create a single unified listening experience. They are Plaidio and ShadowQ - get all the detail here.

A ShadowQ is a managed and shared queued system, meaning a ashared group of tracks. The ShadowQ can be populated from a Radio Experience, a playlist or user's Queue. The APIs provide timing data for the tracks so that tracks can be syncronized to the second on many user's applications. Check out all the details here.

Plaidio is effectively a linear radio station where people can join and listen to the same tracks together. A quickstart guide and explanantion is here.
