What AutoDJ Does in AzuraCast and How to Use It
AutoDJ is the automation system that keeps your station playing when no live presenter is connected. Instead of relying on a home computer to broadcast all day, your uploaded media and playlists run from the streaming platform. Once configured through https://stream.onlineaudience.co.uk, AutoDJ can keep your station active 24/7.
How AutoDJ works
- You upload music, jingles, adverts or show content into the media library.
- You assign those files to one or more playlists.
- AzuraCast follows the playlist rules to decide what should play next.
- When a live DJ connects, AutoDJ can hand over the stream to the presenter.
- When the presenter disconnects, AutoDJ resumes automated programming.
AutoDJ is ideal for stations that want a professional sound without someone manually controlling the output every minute. It can rotate music, run scheduled shows, insert imaging, process listener requests and provide a reliable fallback after live broadcasts. The key to good AutoDJ output is planning. Upload clean files, build clear playlists and check your schedule regularly. If your station sounds repetitive, the answer is usually to improve playlist variety, add more media or adjust how often certain playlists are selected. A strong AutoDJ setup gives your station structure while still allowing live presenters to take over when needed.
