Why Don’t I Hear the Spot I Just Recorded?
As soon as you upload a new spot, we’ll start distributing it to people listening to the song you spotted. If you continue to listen to the song after you record the spot, we’ll play your new spot so you get to hear it first. If you’re not hearing your own spot, here are some things to keep in mind:
- In general, we prefer to play you spots recorded by other DJ’s because you probably know what you sound like. So after we’ve played your new spot once, you probably won’t get it again.
- Spots take some time to download. So if you’re near the end of the song and you record a spot, we might not have enough time to retrieve it before the song is over.
- We won’t play the same spot twice in a row. So if you heard your spot once and then you bring your friend Esmeralda over to hear it, she probably won’t until another spot has played first.
- Spots only play at the end of a song, so if you’re trying to get the spot to play right away, skip to 5-10 seconds before the end to make sure SpotDJ has enough time to download the spot and detect that the song has changed.
Keep in mind that you can always view/edit/listen to all your spots from your DJ page, which you can access at your Home page
