Q: Will RadioDJ work on Windows 11?

A: Yes!

Q: What Technology does RadioDJ run alongside?

A: RadioDJ runs using Microsoft .NET (3.5 & 4.8), The BASS Sound Engine and a MySQL server.

PLEASE don't let the fact RadioDJ requires a database server put you off its not difficult to Install or Maintain

The MySQL setup needn't be as complex as it may first appear

MariaDB database server is one of the world’s most popular open source database engines.

Fact: MariaDB processes SQL queries faster than MySQL8

Q: Can I use RadioDJ without a database?

A: No you cannot RadioDJ requires a MySQL server to run back end functions such as rotations/playlists/events

Q: What are the minimum specifications to run RadioDJ on a PC?

A: RadioDJ will run on Windows systems with as little as 2GB RAM but hopefully your system will be more powerful than that.


Q: Will RadioDJ run in a Virtual Machine environment on Linux or Mac?

A: There is no reason why it shouldn't work providing you give the VM enough resources.

I ran RadioDJ on a Windows 7/10 VM & I gave the Virtual Machine 4GB out of 16GB to play with and had very few issues.

There is no reason why a Virtual Machine running Windows & RadioDJ shouldn't work flawlessly on a Macbook or Ubuntu.

Linux Users: RadioDJ will NOT work on .wine no matter how hard you try to make it

Wine doesn't have access to the .NET components that RadioDJ requires


Q: Can I run multiple copies of RadioDJ?

A: Yes! You can run more than one copy of RadioDJ to set up multiple online radio stations

I know of a few stations utilising multiple copies of RadioDJ quite successfully

When I first used RadioDJ I ran two copies one for my music and one as backup for another radio station and that went without any technical problems

TIP: Uncheck the Allow only one Instance box on the options screen, Do this for all instances you wish to run


Did You Know?

It costs HUNDREDS of $$$ to run multiple copies of OTHER radio playout software

Most radio software vendors don't allow more than one instance of software on the same computer


Q: Where can I download Radio DJ software?

A: You can download RadioDJ from the link below

Install the program by running the .exe file as you would any other program install to C:\RadioDJv2
