AutoDJ

AutoDJ

Keep your station on air, even when you’re not

With MixStream AutoDJ, your station can broadcast around the clock without leaving a computer running. Upload your music, put together your playlists and decide when you want them to play. AutoDJ handles the playback from there. Your DJs can still connect for live shows whenever they need to, without having to stop AutoDJ first.

Your automated station

Your music, on your schedule

AutoDJ plays your music directly from our servers, so there’s no need to keep a computer running at home or in the studio. You can upload your MP3 files through the control panel or by FTP, organise them into playlists and set up a schedule for the day or week.

It also works alongside your live DJs. Using LiveDJ, presenters can connect and start broadcasting without switching AutoDJ off. Once they’ve finished and disconnected, your automated programming picks up where it left off.

AutoDJ features

Tools to run your station

Whether you’re running a fully automated station or mixing playlists with live shows, AutoDJ gives you plenty of control over what goes out and when. You can schedule music and DJs, record programmes and even replay them later.

Playlist scheduling

Put together playlists for different genres, shows or times of day, then choose when each one should play. You can schedule them right down to the minute.

DJ scheduling

Give your DJs their own slots in the schedule alongside your automated playlists. Particularly useful if you have several presenters broadcasting from different locations.

LiveDJ connection

Your DJs can connect and broadcast live without anyone having to stop AutoDJ. When the live connection ends, AutoDJ takes over again automatically.

Automatic show recording

AutoDJ can record your live shows as they’re broadcast. There’s no need for the DJ to run separate recording software or remember to start recording.

Replay live shows

Want to repeat a programme later in the week? AutoDJ can add the recording straight into your scheduled programming, without you having to upload it again.

Automatic Mixcloud upload

Recorded shows can also be uploaded to Mixcloud automatically, so listeners have the option to catch up after the original broadcast.

Your own timezone

Set the timezone your station uses and schedule everything in your local time. Handy when your DJs and listeners are spread across different countries.

SHOUTcast & Icecast

AutoDJ works with SHOUTcast V1, SHOUTcast V2 and Icecast, so you can use it with whichever of these streaming servers your station runs on.

MP3 & AAC+

Choose between MP3 and AAC+ streaming, with bitrates of up to 320kbps. You can select the format and bitrate that best suit your station and its listeners.

From live to on-demand

Broadcast once, play it again later

Your DJ connects through LiveDJ and broadcasts as normal. While they’re on air, AutoDJ can record the programme, add it to your automated schedule for a later broadcast and upload a copy to Mixcloud.

When the DJ finishes, AutoDJ resumes playing your scheduled content. Nobody needs to be there to restart the stream or switch anything over.

Audio settings

Get your playlists sounding right

There are a few useful tools for controlling how your automated music sounds. You can adjust the transitions between tracks, help keep playback levels consistent and add your own station jingles or advertising.

Crossfade

Set up crossfading to blend one track into the next. You can adjust the transition to suit the type of music you’re playing.

Compress & normalise

Use compression and normalisation to help even out differences in playback levels, particularly when your music library contains tracks from several different sources.

Jingles & ads

Add your station IDs, jingles, promos and advertising to the rotation. They can be scheduled automatically, rather than having to place them manually into every playlist.

AutoDJ by MixStream

Our own AutoDJ system

We developed MixStream AutoDJ ourselves, specifically for internet radio. It works directly with our streaming servers and control panel, giving you one place to manage your music, schedules and live DJs.

We’ve been providing radio streaming services since 2007, and over that time we’ve worked with all sorts of stations. Some run entirely on automated playlists, while others have DJs connecting from different locations throughout the day. AutoDJ is built to handle both, including the changeover between live and automated broadcasting.
