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
