Playback Logs
Playback logs record every media item played on the station. Use logs for program documentation, royalty reporting, or troubleshooting.
Accessing Logs
Open Logs in the station sidebar to view the playback history.
Log Table
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | Media title |
| Artist | Artist name |
| Preview | Inline audio player |
| Duration | Track length |
| Media Type | Assigned media type badge |
| Date | Playback timestamp (local timezone) |
Each entry records the track metadata (artist, title, album), the playback timestamp, and the track duration.
Search and Filter
- Search: Match by artist, title, or other metadata
- Date range: Limit results to a start and end date
- Sorting: Newest first or oldest first
Pagination
Logs use cursor-based pagination. Each page loads from a cursor that points to the next set of entries, which keeps browsing fast across large histories.
Export
Export playback logs for external use (royalty reporting, campaign verification, analytics).

Exports run as background jobs. The date range limits the export to a specific period. When the job completes, a download link appears in the export history.
Export History
Previous exports appear in a history table with:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Format | CSV or JSON |
| Date Range | Start and end date of the export |
| Status | Queued, Processing, Completed, or Failed |
| Download | Download link (available when completed) |
Exports are processed in the background. Large date ranges may take several minutes.
Log Retention
The retention period depends on the station plan. Entries older than the limit are removed.
| Plan | Retention |
|---|---|
| Basic | 7 days |
| Plus | 30 days |
| Pro | 90 days |
| Ultimate | 365 days |
| Enterprise | Custom |
See Billing for plan-specific retention limits.
Backup Playlist
The system generates a backup playlist from the play history. It collects the last 100 unique tracks longer than 100 seconds.
This playlist activates as a fallback when the regular rotation is empty, which keeps the station on air without manual intervention.
