When it comes to Internet radio automation software you have a choice... Do you pay out hundreds of $$$ for radio playout software or do you download a program for free? Personally I'd rather use something for FREE leaves more money to spend on studio equipment and streaming. I know from using various Forums over the years that hobby broadcasters don't always have $$$ to spend on stuff for their station. Everytime I test paid automation solutions I come to the conclusion that they don't perform that well when up against RadioDJ. DEMO versions of some radio software offerings have usage restrictions or time limits With those restrictions you can't test the software to its FULL POTENTIAL RadioDJ doesn't have trial periods, reg keys or online activations I'd rather help save someone from the hell that is a paid for product with very little in the way of support, The case in point being SAM Broadcaster People pay...

Did you Know: You can backup the database in RadioDJ free radio automation software? Its really easy to back up the database just set the folder you want the backups to go into. Then set an hour for it to take the backup at (24 Hour Clock) Leave the database setup tool minimised in the system tray. (Tick the box that says "Close to Tray") Thats literally all there is to backing the database up in RadioDJ. Other well known radio playout software doesn't come with a database backup feature Which isn't great when it comes to restoring the SQL after a database crash. YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY DATABASE BACKUPS! Its probably best IF YOU Backup your database onto an external Cloud server such as Google Drive. I have Google Drive monitoring my SQL backup folder as soon as I take a backup it goes up to the fluffy cloud.

A couple of users of RadioDJ asked how they should go about transferring the RadioDJ settings to a new computer. Please Note: Versions after 2.0.3.9 will not run on versions of MariaDB 10.7 or Older (Due to database changes) in order to use the latest versions 2039+ you will need to upgrade MariaDB to 10.8+ or newer (Im currently running MariaDB 11.2) with very few issues. If however you are wanting to update from RadioDJ v1.8.2 to RadioDJ v2.0.4.5 My Advice is to start with a fresh Database there have been changes to the Database structure since v1.8.2.0 If updating from an OLDER version of RadioDJ 2.x.x Apply the SQL Database Update Files to your Database via Database Setup or you will get errors The Updates will be in the SQL folder of the RadioDJ Setup folder. F.A.Q: Are there files that I can copy onto the new machine so it will have rotations, cue marks, events, and other settings? Moving R...

In case you haven't already noticed MySQL tends to allow some pretty insecure permissions by default, allowing root access from any computer. This is a big problem, especially if you have port forwarding configured on your router to your MySQL instance. However you can easily create new users using any management interface, so we'll do it with HeidiSQL 1) Launch HeidiSQL and sign in as root. 2) Select Tools>User Manager. First of all, we'll remove root access for remote hosts. There will be several accounts listed for root, from various locations. Select the root account that has just a % sign in the host column. This allows root access from any location, including on the internet and isn't recommended. On the right hand side, select the drop down and pick the local network that matches your LAN IP range (e.g. 192.168.%) This makes sure that when you're on your local network, you can still log in as root. Click save. Next we'll add a new r...

Saw this post on a forum on a post about RadioDJ free radio automation software The biggest fail with RadioDJ to me is the reliance upon a MySQL database Q: So Why does RadioDJ rely on a MySQL database? A: RadioDJ requires a MySQL Database to run some backend functions such as events and rotations Having an MySQL database also makes programming on your website (PHP) really straight forward. You can show what’s currently playing or recently played or even take listener requests from your website. The fact RadioDJ relies on a database for some of it's functions is actually one of it's PLUS points. Some radio automation programs run with a flat file text based system and don't appear to have any form of web integration. I never hear anyone question why other radio playout software has more database options Another PLUS with RadioDJ You can backup your database on one machine and restore it on another machine. You ...

So you've successfully installed and configured the RadioDJ database. Now you have it installed its a good idea if once in a while you do some basic maintenance to ensure optimum operation.

First: We'll look at the RadioDJ database backup utility. Open database setup from the setup folder select the auto backup tab and set it to backup your database at a set Hour. TIP: Backup your database to a directory or drive of your choice You can never have too many backups The database backup happens in the background Tick the box that says close to the system tray Close to tray and FORGET about it. Fact: Other paid for radio automation doesn't backup the whole database Next we will move onto the other part of the maintenance with HeidiSQL HeidiSQL should have already been installe...

Sometimes Windows Updates can do strange things to your audio and sometimes they can break your soundcard. I've had issues with Windows audio on and off for years even now trying to change sound settings I get grief and have to reboot the PC. This is where Virtual Audio can help. I don't appear to have many issues with Virtual Audio cables. I can connect RadioDJ to one of the pipelines and also connect the encoding software to that cable and I get flawless audio streaming. Update January 2022: The Breakaway Pipleline download has now been taken down It would appear that the Breakaway one Virtual Audio cables don't work well on Windows 10 after the latest feature update. They were causing my audio to cut out and stutter. Breakaway Pipline hasn't been updated since 2018. My recommendation is that you uninstall it from your computer. This is the Virtual Audio Cable I now reco...
