Your FM station

My FM tab is what you see when you open the app. Its aim is to create a FM station like experience for you in listening to your own Smule songs. 

Here is the algorithm that the app follows to give you this experience:

  1. Picks from all your joins
  2. Picks one join from each invite  
  3. Doesn't repeat the same song, even if you sang it many times
  4. Picks only playable songs
  5. Never plays an invite or an unfavorite song
  6. Picks 200 songs randomly based on the above rules

You can customize this algorithm per your taste:

  • Pick only your duets and not solos and group songs
  • On your invites, pick only the joins from your favorites singers. 
  • Choose a timeframe for the songs - recent or old 
  • Choose just audio or all songs, depending on whether you have a slow internet connection

You can customize this algorithm once and the app remembers it. Every day you can enjoy a new set of songs from your Smule collection, by just tapping on the play button. 

It is like having your own FM station that plays just your Smule songs. This was our original vision in creating this app.

First time

The first time you open the app, you have to go through a few steps for the app to set up your device with information about all your songs in Smule.  Before you start Please make sure that you are in a place with a good internet connection.  Entering your Smule ID The first step is to enter your Smule ID and accept the privacy policy and terms and conditions. The app checks that it is a valid Smule ID.
