My Favourite RadioDJ Feature?

Image
I've been a RadioDJ user since late 2010 after I discovered the software via a Google search. I've seen RadioDJ slowly gain popularity since 2013 & lot of users are beginning to realise how GOOD it is. If I was asked to say what my favourite feature in RadioDJ was I'd have to think about it. RadioDJ is FEATURE PACKED and has a lot more functionality than other radio automation that you can pay $$$ for. However after a lot of thought I think this is my favourite feature in RadioDJ: Custom Track Rotations which can be loaded anytime by operator or by programmed event I've NEVER had a Track Rotation Fail in RadioDJ I frequently had problems with AutoDJ with other radio playout software If you know how to program MySQL you can load tracks in the queue via SQL Query. The AutoDJ Rotation loads the Music easily and fast into the queue in RDJ. You can programme RadioDJ to have different

Cash Strapped & Potless - Can't Afford Subscriptions?

Image
I know from watching broadcasting websites that Internetradio station owners don't always have endless pots of cash. SOME Radio software subscriptions can be expensive and sometimes users get taken for a ride by the company. Users buy the software then they find the support is horrible Its among one of the reasons I ditched Spacial Audio and their lacklustre software. I could never get a sensible answer on the Forums or got called rude names by one of the moderators. This is where software such as RadioDJ is miles better than a lot of the paid for automation programs. For starters RadioDJ is 100% FREE and has a great support network on the RadioDJ Community Forums Reasons to Use RadioDJ: Once installed it's stable and works for days/weeks without needing to keep an eye on it Great Music library support add as many categories & subcategories you re

Why Do I Only Promote FREE Radio Software?

Image
Q: Why do I only promote free radio software from this blog site? In my own experience when I've paid $$$ for software in the past I've ran into issues that stopped me in my tracks. Users like me paid hundreds $$$ for radio automation software & found the support sucked for those pieces of software Some software companies seem to plod on year after year not updating their software all the while still taking paying customers money. Spacial Audio are the biggest Cowboys when it comes to customer support You only have to search this blog to find that one out Lack of customer support is one huge reason I hate paying for software. Another is when Vendors/Authors of software suddenly disappear off the face of the Earth and then their software becomes obsolete. I find some FREE software can be absolutley Amazing sometimes. FREE SOFTWARE is my favourite sort of software because it comes to you

You Have A Choice Of Radio Automation Software

Image
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

No other piece of radio playout software comes close to RadioDJ The performance, reliability and stability of Radio DJ is amazing I've used RadioDJ since 2010 and I haven't had a major issue while using it Even in BETA RadioDJ performs better than other radio playout software. If there has been any downtime or an issue its usually been computer hardware playing up. Hard drives & motherboards failing have been the main culprit in any downtime on my computers. Thankfully I use Solid state drives now I should get more life out of one of those.

Why Is Radio Software Sometimes Free?

I know in the case of RadioDJ free radio software that the author wanted to help hobby level broadcasters get their stations online. The software has since been adapted for use by several professional FM/AM stations too. Which is brilliant when you think about it. I've tried all sorts of different radio music automation software. I've been Impressed with some of them and NOT so Impressed by others. RadioDJ comes top of my all time favourite software list. The fact Radio DJ is FREE is a huge bonus it has a lot of features you'd find in paid for radio software. Its great when software works as it was designed and on the whole RadioDJ performs like a STAR. RadioDJ is fast gaining traction as the number one radio playout solution. Reasons to Use RadioDJ:

RadioDJ Radio Automation Playout RadioDJ is the BEST radio automation playout software available for FREE. It was 2010 when I came across RadioDJ via a Google search and I haven't looked back since.

RadioDJ doesn't require activations or key codes in order to unlock all the features. So it doesn't constantly dial home like other paid for radio playout software is known
