Network- and service upgrades

2020/04/20 - So what to do, when the daily visitors go up 50x in one week? We let it happen and fine tuned in the process. This resulted in some downtime, but we had to go through this process to determine what settings needed to be optimized. A few weeks later now and we have eliminated the issues that prevented our service to run stable on an higher load. We've also upgraded our bandwidth and there is now more than enough room to expand further. And last but not least; we are working on a whole new version for quite some time now. And the latest developments put it all faster forward. It won't be long until the new version will be released. It will be a huge improvement to the current platform in both usability and speed. So bare with us, as we are moving forward. If you have feature requests or feedback, please drop us a message.

Livesets Twitter App reactivated

2019/02/06 - Our Twitter App is up and running again. When you link you Twitter account to your livesets.com profile, the tracks you play, will be Tweeted to your Twitter timeline. Eacht tweet looks like "#nowplaying ♫: Artist Name - Track name @livesets".

New name

2015/12/24 - Due to legal issues we decided to change our name from Beatbravo to Livesets. While we were in the process of registering Beatbravo as a trademark, Beats by Dre objected because they claim to own al names with the word Beat in it. After months of waiting between legal writings, we decided to change our name. Mainly because in the middle of it, Beats by Dre was taken over by Apple and the legal writings changed even more in our disadvantage. Who knows where it would have ended, but we decided to invest our energy in more positive things. So good luck to you Apple & Beats by Dre! From now on, we continue under the name Livesets.
