Components
Snip will get the artist, track, and album information from Spotify, iTunes, Winamp, foobar2000, VLC, or Google Play Music Desktop Player and save the information to a text file.
source
Snip is an open-source program which is mostly used with a streaming program like Open Broadcast Software, Xsplit etc. The main task of this program is automatically showing the artist and track on the screen. After you download Snip as a zip, you will see a .txt file in the folder. To activate the Snip, only thing you need to do is add a text source to OBS or Xsplit and then choose the .txt file, that will be automatically synchronized with the song that you listen currently in variety platfroms like Spotfiy, iTunes etc.
Proposal
Mainly my suggestion will improve the diversity. When you right click on Snip you see a menu that gives you chance to choose the music platforms. For example if you listen a song on Spotify, you must choose Spotify on there. But as I said there are only, Spotify, iTunes, Winamp, foobar2000, VLC. There should be also YouTube section.

Benefits
The musics we listen to during the broadcast are always wondered by the viewers. Sometimes, we'd rather listen to music from YouTube especially when we want to remix songs. It would be nice to add a YouTube option to the Snip thus people can even see the name of remix songs on broadcast.
People might have their own playlists on YouTube instead of Spotify or any other music platform. And also as everyone knows YouTube is one of the biggest platforms. So in my opinion there should be a YouTube section as well on Snip.
