DJ Titler is a small gadget for DJs that displays their current tune above their head. Additionally, it can also announce the song in local chat. Every time the song changes, a cute particle effect is shown.
This way everyone in the audience knows immediately what you are playing!

The audience can also wish songs, and the requests will show as a popup menu in the DJ's viewer.

DJ Titler works with SHOUTcast.
If you are using icecast, please check out the separate icecast version.

You can adjust the color of the titler, or let it cycle through colors.

Setup and Operation

Wear the titler. It will attach to your left eyeball.
As soon as you attach it, you will see some help messages how to use it in local chat (only you can see this).

Set the IP address of your SHOUTcast stream.
To do this simply type
/19 <Your SHOUTcast IP address;Port>
and the titler will start reading the SHOUTcast feed. If your server is not connected, the titler will display "(Server offline)."

You can turn the DJTitler on or off (show or hide it) by using the
following chat commands:
/19 show
/19 hide

Announcing Songs and Messages

DJ Titler can announce the song in local chat. There are 3 modes: say, shout, and off. To configure announcing, type one of the following in local chat:
/19 announce say
/19 announce shout
/19 announce off
By default, announcing is set to "say."

The titler can also announce messages in local chat. The messages are stored in the notecard found in the DJTitler's inventory. To enable the messages and recurring song annoucement, you need to use the following
command:
/19 interval <Seconds>
where <Seconds> is the number of seconds between two announcements. If the interval is set to 0
/19 interval 0
recurring annoucement of songs and messages is turned off, i.e. the song will only be announced once when a new song starts, and no messages will be sent.

You can set the name by which the titler announces a song or a message.
By default, the name is simply "DJ <Your Name>". You can change it by using
/19 name <New DJTitler Name>

Wishing Songs

The DJTitler has a built-in facility that lets the audience make requests that will be shown to the DJ as a popup menu. As a DJ let your audience know that they can use the chat command
/19 wish <Text of the request, e.g. song title and artist>
to send a request. There is a pre-defined message in the DJTitler.
The DJTitler also has a feature that lets the audience request songs from a remote location, i.e., from a different sim than you currently are.

Setting Colors and Particles

You can customize the way your DJTitler looks. For instance you can have some ASCII art with your name in it above the song name. To do this, type
/19 title <Your title here>
The help notecard contains a few ASCII art examples to get you started.

To set titler colors, type
/19 <Color Name>
in local chat, where <Color Name> is one of the following colors: white, blue, teal, cyan, green, yellow, orange, red, pink, purple.

If you want to let your titler cycle through colors, type
/19 cycle

You can also adjust the colors in a finer way by providing the hue of the color as a number from 0 to 360:
/19 color <Hue>

Every time the song changes, DJ Titler displays a cute particle effect. You can turn it on or off by typing
/19 particles on
or
/19 particles off
in local chat. By default, particles are turned on.
You can also start the particle effect manually by typing
/19 particles
in local chat. This also works if the particles have been turned off.
You can change the particles' colors. By default, the particles start with a random color and do a transition to the titler's color. By typing
/19 particles color <StartColor> <EndColor>
you can set both the start and end colors.<StartColor> and <EndColor> can be
- a color name (white, gray, black, blue, teal, cyan, green, yellow, orange,
red, pink, purple),
- a number, which will be interpreted as a hue as described above,
- "random" (without quotation marks) for a new random color for each particle effect,
- "titler" (without quotation marks) to match the titler's text color.
For instance,
/19 particles color red random
lets the particles start in red and transform to a random color.

I have both the icecast and shout cast versons as i had both stream types
I loved this.. but.. a few days ago, it just stopped connecting to my stream server... it just now states that server is offline and i purchased a new copy thinking i had goofed or something..
every thing works great still but no longer displays the songs. i've went thru my server i own. and i could not find anything out of the ordinary blocking on my end, of things . I've emailed the creator..
so i am sure she will figure out something, this is the best i've seen and from what i've also noticed it is not just this product As the previous review stated i am sure its something in SL's recent updates that has changed something. I do hope you get this fixed or may be add the option we can turn that display off so we can still use the other features that continue to function
Thanks for an awesome product

It Worked Perfectly UNTIL...

This worked perfectly and I loved it until a few weeks ago. Something in the SL coding got changed, and this awesome HUD no longer works. I've written to the creator, but so far no answer.

IDK What everyone is bitching about.

The damn thing works perfectly - have never had a problem with it.
Take that back - only ONCE and that was due to the URL (which, I'm assuming, is everyone else's problem)
The URL and Port number clubs give you isn't always the same as the one they're using in the SHOUTCast board - ask them what that URL is - that's the one you need.
99% of the time, it's the same as the one they give you, but if it's not, that's why it's not working for you.
If you have a personal stream and it's not working for that, you're still doing it wrong.
Double check everything and make sure you're putting 'http://' before it when you go to put it on your titler, or IT WON'T WORK.

e.g - typing /19106.166.225.678:9595 WON'T WORK - it'll say 'server offline' or 'error' in the titler.
typing /19http://106.166.225.678:9595 WILL WORK - HAVE TO HAVE THE 'http://' or it won't work.

If you read that damn notecards that Carlyle put with the titler, you would know that.
But, if you didn't, and you came here to figure out what you screwed up - there you go.

ALSO - HE HAS A REDELIVERY SYSTEM IN HIS STORE!
Don't have to buy this twice, just go there and get a new copy if you think you screwed yours up somehow.

CARLYLE - Amazing work with the titler, i get asked all the time where I got it and I always link them here. Shit, i know the URL for this item almost by heart now hahaha.
Great work - thank you so much for an amazing product at an extremely afforcable price <3

xoxox - Yasha

Despite buying this twice I have never got it to work. Maybe it is my stream, but other shoutcast titlers and display boards work with it. Nevertheless, prepare for problems and yet I hope you are not affected as I am.
