You can build a streaming web player for your audio stream and associated advertising using the Triton Digital Player Widgets. Each widget is essentially a few lines of code that you customize and then paste into your web site to create an in-page player, player with ads, and a song history viewer. Use them alone or in combination.

If you want your Player Widgets to function on all platforms (Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, etc.), you will need to stream from an MP3 mount. If you currently only stream in AAC format, discuss switching to MP3 with your Triton Digital Solutions Specialist.
If you want to offer continuous, persistent streaming to your users as they navigate through your website, we recommend using the Bar Live Audio Widget placed at the top or bottom of every page of your website. To be persistent, the widget must be integrated in an AJAX development framework that allows the content within your pages to load dynamically. For details, see Widgets: Using AJAX for Player Persistence.

Setup Details
To use the Triton Digital Player Widgets, your station needs to stream with Triton Digital. You’ll need your station or mount ID, which is part of your existing streaming configuration (it's usually your station's call sign, such as "KBLRK" or "KBLRKMP3"). If you don’t know your station or mount ID, contact your Triton Digital solutions specialist.
Decide which widget(s) you would like to embed within your station website: the Live Audio Widget, the Ad Widget, and/or the Song History Widget. If embedding the Live Audio Widget, decide on what type of player you want ("mini," "bar," "classic," or "vertical").
With your web developer, consult the Developer Documentation and plan the insertion of the widget(s) within your current page templates.
Embed your widget(s) into your website, giving each a unique element ID and configuring it according to the information in the developer documentation. Don't forget to include your station or mount ID. (For more information on how the various "color" parameters affect the appearance of the widgets, see the Support Centre knowledge base article Widgets: Configuring Colors.)
Paste the provided JavaScript snippet in <BODY> of each page where the widget will be embedded.
Test it. (If you are already using a Triton Media Player, it can run concurrently with a widget player.)
Publish it.
