What Is AutoDJ?

AutoDJ is an automated broadcasting system used in radio hosting services to stream music and scheduled content without manual intervention.

It ensures continuous 24/7 broadcasting when no live DJ is connected.

What Is AutoDJ Used For?

• Preventing broadcast interruptions
• Providing continuous 24/7 streams
• Reducing dependency on live broadcasters
• Improving the professional image of a radio station

How Does AutoDJ Work?

Uploaded audio files and playlists are stored on the server.

AutoDJ streams these files directly to listeners without requiring an encoder.

Can AutoDJ and Live Broadcasting Work Together?

Yes. Most radio hosting platforms use a fallback mechanism.

When live broadcasting starts, AutoDJ pauses automatically and resumes if the live stream disconnects.

Advantages of Using AutoDJ

• Lower bandwidth usage
• Time-independent broadcasting
• Planned and predictable playlists
• Ideal for new or small radio stations

Common Mistakes

• Not normalizing audio files
• Incorrect playlist configuration
• Forcing AutoDJ and live stream simultaneously
• Ignoring copyright regulations

Best Practices

• Use consistent audio formats and bitrates
• Update playlists regularly
• Always test fallback behavior
• Monitor broadcast logs

From a knowledge base perspective, AutoDJ is the core automated broadcasting component of radio hosting systems.
