What Is AutoDJ?
AutoDJ is a system that runs on the radio hosting server and automatically broadcasts music or content when no live show is active.
It ensures uninterrupted 24/7 radio broadcasting.
What Does AutoDJ Do?
- Keeps the stream live when there is no DJ
- Ensures broadcast continuity
- Operates without human interaction
- Forms the backbone of fallback systems
How Does AutoDJ Work?
Audio files uploaded by the broadcaster are organized into playlists.
The server streams these files directly to listeners without requiring a live encoder.
What Happens Without AutoDJ?
- The broadcast stops when the live stream ends
- Listeners experience silence
- The station appears unprofessional
- Listener retention drops
Common Mistakes
- Leaving AutoDJ playlists empty
- Using unsupported audio formats
- Mismatched bitrate between live and AutoDJ
- Not testing fallback integration
Best Practices
- Always keep AutoDJ enabled
- Update playlists regularly
- Match AutoDJ bitrate with live streams
- Regularly test fallback scenarios
