What Is AutoDJ? How Automated Radio Broadcasting Works

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
