B2B music streaming technology provider Tuned Global is upgrading its Social Radio platform with a real-time tipping feature.

Launched in November 2024, the Social Radio platform is an interactive, fan-driven broadcast layer for DSPs. The new tipping feature lets fans support artists, DJs, and creators live.

According to Tuned Global, the new “plug-and-play” monetisation tool is “inspired by creator economy giants like Twitch and TikTok” by letting fans send payments directly to their favorite streamers.

The roll out marks the latest tech expansion for Tuned Global, a data-driven cloud and software platform for music that lets businesses integrate commercial music into their apps or launch complete streaming services using customisable white-label apps.

Since 2011, Tuned Global has supported music services for what it says are “hundreds” of businesses in over 70 countries in the streaming, telecom, fitness, media, aviation, and other industries.
