Many of you are perhaps wondering how is it possible that other one-man radios are able to run 24-7 and keep their listeners happy. The answer is quite simple and you could easily achieve the same result if you follow the guidelines laid down in this article.
The secret to your radio’s success is a little program called Auto DJ. So what actually is Auto DJ? The software is exactly what it is called, an auto DJ. The way it works is you upload music and other audio files on the Auto DJ server and you make playlists. Then the moment you start the Auto DJ program it takes over your live stream and plays your playlists for as long as you let it. The great thing is that you don’t even need to leave your streaming computer on. Since all your music files are on a server in a data room, you will only need to turn it on when you want to stream live.
Switching to your live source is as simple as turning off the Auto DJ software. The moment you are done streaming your live shows you only need to turn on your Auto DJ again and you are done. This way there are no down times in your radio station and your listeners can enjoy your music non-stop.
But now that you know just how awesome this service is, you will now need to determine which the best place to get it is. There are many companies offering this service and chances are that the same company where you have your SHOUTcast or other audio streaming service account also has this service. If you are satisfied with the said company’s services then by all means stay with them. However, you need to know that it is not necessary to have both your Auto DJ and SHOUTcast account from the same company. Different companies may have different offers for Auto DJ so you will need to do some research in order to get the best value for your money.
You should therefore look for a company which offers a trial period and has proper technical support. The trial is for you to see how their equipment handles. So if you notice any signs of a poor service then you should just quit that service because there are many more companies offering much better services.
The technical support is also crucial for your online radio. You will want problems to be dealt with as soon as possible when they appear. No matter how reliable their equipment is. If their support is not available when you need it then you may have bigger problems in the future.
Another thing to consider is the service’s price. Here you will need to make a list of all the services and what they are offering and compare them side by side. However, know that the cheapest price is not always the best value.
