Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]	Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies Contractual Obligations As of March 31, 2025, the Company is obligated under agreements with Content Providers and other contractual obligations to make guaranteed payments as follows: $11.4 million, $4.5 million, $0.5 million, $0.4 million and $0.4 million for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029 and thereafter, respectively. On a quarterly basis, the Company records the greater of the cumulative actual content acquisition costs incurred or the cumulative minimum guarantee based on forecasted usage for the minimum guarantee period. The minimum guarantee period of time is the period that the minimum guarantee relates to, as specified in each agreement, which may be annual or a longer period. The cumulative minimum guarantee, based on forecasted usage, considers factors such as listening hours, revenue, members, and other terms of each agreement that impact the Company’s expected attainment or recoupment of the minimum guarantees based on the relative attribution method. Several of the Company’s content acquisition agreements also include provisions related to the royalty payments and structures of those agreements relative to other content licensing arrangements, which, if triggered, could cause the Company’s payments under those agreements to escalate, which included payments to be made in common stock. In addition, record labels, publishers and performing rights organizations with whom the Company has entered into direct license agreements have the right to audit the Company’s content acquisition payments, and any such audit could result in disputes over whether the Company has paid the proper content acquisition costs. However, as of March 31, 2025, the Company does not believe it is probable that these provisions of its agreements discussed above will, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. On August 4, 2022, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with a certain music partner attributed to past royalties owed. The Company issued 800,000 shares of its common stock to the music partner and settled $0.4 million of accounts payable with the remaining value of the shares attributed to prepayment for future royalties. The fair value of the shares was determined to be $1.0 million based on the Company’s share price at the date the shares were issued. As of March 31, 2025, no amount was recorded as a prepaid asset related to this transaction in order to fund future amounts owed for royalties. As the agreement was not terminated by the music partner after one year, the Company issued to the music partner an additional 200,000 shares of its common stock as prepayment of future royalties during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 ("Fiscal 2024"). On January 15, 2025, PodcastOne entered into a three-year Enterprise Service and Advertising Agreement (the “Agreement”) with ART19 LLC (“ART19”), a subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc. to move the existing network of PodcastOne programming to the ART19 hosting platform. The Agreement is expected to drive additional monetization opportunities across PodcastOne’s vast library of popular podcasts. Pursuant to the Agreement ART19 is required to pay PodcastOne a minimum guarantee of $15.0 million over the term of the Agreement based on PodcastOne achieving certain minimum impressions amount, which guarantee is subject to adjustment as provided in the Agreement, including if PodcastOne achieves higher minimum impressions amounts. In addition, the Agreement provides for a revenue share split between PodcastOne and ART19 based on gross sales revenue achieved by PodcastOne under the Agreement. On October 23, 2024, the Company entered into an investor relations consulting agreement with MZHCI, LLC. The contract called for a three month commitment at $9,000 per month then on a month to month basis after January 1, 2025 and terminated effective as of April 2025. The consulting agreement also provided for 7,500 shares of the Company's common stock to be issued monthly as long as the Company was a customer of MZHCI, LLC. Employment Arrangements As of March 31, 2025, the Company has an employment agreement and employment arrangement with two named executive officers (“Section 16 Officers”) that provide salary payments of $0.7 million and target bonus compensation of up to $0.3 million on an annual basis. Furthermore, such employment agreement and employment arrangement contains a severance clause that could require severance payments in the aggregate amount of $0.3 million (excluding the value of potential payouts of discretionary bonuses, pro-rata bonuses, and potential accelerated vesting of equity awards granted to such executive officer). On August 28, 2023, the Company's subsidiary, PodcastOne, Inc., entered into a new two-year employment contract with its President for $0.4 million per year effective January 1, 2023. The Company’s CEO agreed to forgive his salary of $0.5 million per annum for the period from August 2021 until December 31, 2022 in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock and/or restricted stock units to be issued in the future. As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s board of directors has not yet determined the number of shares of the Company’s common stock and/or restricted stock units to be issued to the CEO as such compensation. Legal Proceedings During each of the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded legal settlement expenses relating to potential claims arising in connection with litigation brought against the Company by certain third parties that were not material and were included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. On June 6, 2025, Sony Music Entertainment (“Sony”) filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Slacker and the Company alleging breach of contract and claiming that Slacker owes $2.6 million in unpaid licensing fees to Sony. As a result of LiveOne’s guarantee of up to $250,000 of Slacker’s payments to Sony, Sony’s claim against the Company is in the amount of $250,000. The Company and Slacker are evaluating this claim, have engaged counsel and intend to vigorously defend themselves in this matter. From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings and other matters arising in connection with the conduct of its business activities. Many of these proceedings may be at preliminary stages and/or seek an indeterminate amount of damages. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, such routine claims and lawsuits are not significant and we do not currently expect them to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.
