This quarter, we’re raising the bar with advanced AI curation tools, studio-grade stem separation via our partnership with Audioshake, and enhanced search capabilities that understand your queries. Add infinite scroll, platform-wide blocklisting, and bold experiments waiting in the wings. While you grow your audience, we’ve been integrating smarter AI, sharper search, and surprises to keep users lingering longer. This isn’t just a tech flex; it’s a full-on UX remix.

---------------------
What it is:
The Enhanced Search is an enhancement to the platform’s search functionality, aimed at improving the relevance and accuracy of search results. The key change is the incorporation of item popularity into the ranking algorithm, meaning that frequently engaged tracks, albums, or content items that might not have been found through basic keyword search alone are surfaced more effectively.
How it impacts you:
Better search results mean more discovery. Think Google-style search relevance inside your music app. The Enhanced Search update delivers faster, more accurate results, helping end-users discover high-quality, popular tracks easily and enhancing the overall music discovery experience.
How to get access:
Activated to all clients in our white-label apps and via our APIs in any language.
---------------------
What it is:
Just drop a prompt in Tuned Global’s CMS like “Give me 80s power ballads for a road trip” or “90s hip-hop workout mix,” and voila, your playlist is ready. Text-to-Playlist is an AI-powered feature that suggests tracks that fit the described mood or theme of your prompt. The system matches these suggestions against your licensed catalogue and flags any unavailable tracks.
How it impacts you:
Playlist curation is faster, cooler, and easier. The feature also surfaces track suggestions clients might not know or think of, helping to expand creative curation possibilities. Tracks not in your service are still shown — a clever nudge for catalogue expansion.
How to get access:
Available directly in the CMS under playlist or radio station creation.
---------------------
What it is:
Solo or mute vocals, drums, or instruments directly from a track. Stem separation uses Audioshake's technology: an AI tool that splits full tracks into individual audio stems like vocals, drums, and bass. Tuned Global has integrated this capability to isolate or mute specific elements of a song for experiences like remixing or music practice. Karaoke mode is also in the works, and we’re actively exploring safe ways to reduce vocals without infringing on rights.
How it impacts you:
This integration unlocks powerful, creative use cases such as karaoke, music education, and even live performance support, like stepping in for a sick bandmate during a service. It enhances platform value through differentiated, interactive experiences that boost user engagement.
How to get it:
Currently available on our iOS white-label demo app, with Android integration in progress. An agreement with Audioshake is required to access this feature within the Tuned Global suite. Contact your Tuned Global representative for information.
---------------------
What it is:
The global blocklist feature allows Tuned Global's clients to block specific tracks, artists or albums across their entire service, ensuring certain content is excluded from playback, search, and recommendations. Blocked tracks are immediately filtered out from all user experiences, which helps maintain full control over what content is surfaced to users.
How it impacts you:
It simplifies content governance by making it easier to manage restricted content centrally. Clients can confidently enforce licensing rules, editorial choices, or cultural sensitivities across their service.
How to get it:
We’re rolling this out in batches over the coming weeks, so all clients will soon be able to blocklist tracks via the CMS, even if they previously only had allowlist access (or no list access at all). Track blocklisting is already supported via the APIs.
---------------------
What it is:
Continuous scroll is a UX enhancement in the Tuned Global CMS that replaces traditional page-by-page navigation with smooth, infinite scrolling when browsing track lists. This update applies to areas like playlist curation and catalogue management. It eliminates manual page clicks, making it easier to review long lists of content.
How it impacts you:
It streamlines the curation workflow by reducing friction when navigating large catalogues or building playlists. This leads to faster, more efficient content management for editorial teams.
How to get it:
Automatically available in the latest version of the CMS. No activation required.
