DJ Garybaldy - The Only sound you need

I've had my Windows 11 laptop switched on for a month just to prove a point about Uptime. I set a rotation in 2045 a month ago and left it to its own devices and when I've been listening to it via Bluetooth the audio has been flawless RadioDJ/MariaDB have been Rock Solid for the past 30 days but all good things must come to an end. The GREAT thing about RadioDJ is once setup it will RUN and RUN and then RUN some more You can get great uptime if you choose the right software for your music output. Even if you only use RadioDJ for a 2 hour show once a week on Windows 11 you should be able to get through a live show without any issues. I shudder to think about the stability problems I had with OTHER SOFTWARE back in the days of Windows XP I'm happy I was able to get 30 days out of my Windows 11 laptop but now it'll be getting switched off when I don't need it Electricity Prices in the (UK) are about to sky ...

For a long time I tried to get Gapless Audio Playback in various pieces of audio software. Winamp didnt crossfade very well even with the use of SQR Soft Plugins. Sam Broadcaster was questionable for its crossfade sometimes you'd get gaps or a car crash fadeout. MusicMatch Jukebox came close to gapless playback but still wasn't Ideal. Video Lan (VLC) always left gaps between tracks, I tried a host of other audio playback software and I couldn't get gapless audio with them there was always silence between tracks. Step foward RadioDJ I first discovered RDJ in 2010 and ever since then I've had great audio crossfades even with tracks that end suddenly. The only time I haven't had a decent crossfade in RadioDJ is when a Cue Point wasn't set at the beginning or end of a track. That was easily remedied using Cue Edit, A bonus with RadioDJ is you can set cue points in both the Database and Audio File(s)...

Recently there were some major changes to the Database connector in RadioDJ which meant newer versions wouldn't run on versions of MariaDB 10.7 and Older. Which means in order to use versions of RadioDJ 2042 and newer you will need to UPGRADE MariaDB to a newer version. I'm currently using MariaDB 11.2 and I have zero issues running RDJ 2045 If updating from an OLDER version of RadioDJ 2.x.x Apply the SQL Database Update File to your Database via Database Setup or you will get errors The Updates will be in the SQL folder of the RadioDJ Setup folder. In order to update MariaDB do the Following. Take a backup of your current database Uninstall MariaDB as per these Instructions Install a newer version of MariaDB Install the newer version of RadioDJ (2043+) and connect your database Reinstall the RadioDJ database and Restore the Backup you just took Then apply the SQL update files as pe...

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...

Q: Have you ever found the most perfect piece of music playout software? I've tried LOTS of music playback software over my 20 or so years on the Internet. Winamp, Foobar, Real Player, Windows Media Player, Musicmatch Jukebox, SAM Broadcaster, SAM Party DJ Some pieces of software were OK for playing music and some of them would crash if I added a large folder of music into them. Other Radio Automation Software doesn't Crossfade very well and you end up with a CAR CRASH transition betweeen songs. RadioDJ excels at crossfading, It has a better Cue Point editor than some paid for software. It was 2010 when I first used RadioDJ and I haven't looked back since. RadioDJ has been the bedrock of my music automation since I discovered it via a search in November 2010. I THINK RadioDJ is the most PERFECT piece of music playout software ever as ...

How time flies its 13 years since I first found RadioDJ via a Google search. After installing and importing tracks RadioDJ just did what I needed it to do AUTOMATE MUSIC RadioDJ the only piece of software that has never let me down I had a lot of Audio play out software to try and wade through well before I found RDJ in 2010 MusicMatch Jukebox, SAM Broadcaster, Jazler, Raduga, Foobar, Zararadio, Winamp, Real Player I was sad when Yahoo decided to discontinue Music Match Jukebox (MMJB) as that had a pretty decent crossfade. I could never get Winamp to crossfade properly even with the use of plugins. The Stress I had in my 12 or so years of using SAM Broadcaster was unparalleled. I hated it when software decided to screw me over by crashing or malfunctioning without warning. I don't have ANY STRESS with RadioDJ RadioDJ makes streaming music a Pleasure NOT a Chore I was able to do Rad...

On the 5th of July 2023 Marius released RadioDJ v2043 I just checked the Windows Error Logs (22/09/2023) and RadioDJ hasn't thrown an exception since the 6th of July 2023 The last exception was when Windows had issues with the NowPlaying.txt being on the C:\ drive The NowPlaying.txt is readable from within the RadioDJ folder but NOT the C:\ drive Windows Security isn't allowing the file on the ROOT of the drive Other than that RadioDJ v2043 has been stable on the Windows 10/11 machines its been upgraded on. Thats the thing I LOVE about RadioDJ once setup properly RadioDJ doesn't tend to throw exceptions. The only time I've seen bad exceptions is when the Database has crashed which is generally a RARE thing. However the RadioDJ Database is easily repaired using the Database Setup tool. I haven't had to repair my RadioDJ Database in ...

I checked the Download figures on the RadioDJ website recently. To say I was slightly taken aback would be an understatement I noticed that RadioDJ v2.0.0.6 had been downloaded 260,072 times & that blew me away. Now tell me RadioDJ isn't the Hottest Property on the Automation market right now I know from watching videos that RadioDJ is being used by some pretty BIG radio stations out there. Of course RadioDJ is going to be popular because its amazingly stable and RELIABLE. Lots of people are learning that RadioDJ is better than paid for radio automation suites which don't always work as advertised. Marius Vaida has anyone ever told you YOU'RE A GENIUS? Little wonder certain software companies are cutting back on their support staff. RadioDJ is the Future of Radio Automation

There have been a couple of reports of Windows Defender not allowing the download of RadioDJ I ran into the issue myself while trying to Install it. I did the following to get it installed 1) Created a Folder on the C:\ Drive called RadioDJ <version number> 2) Went into Windows Security and Virus Threat Protection>Manage settings>Exclusisions Set the RadioDJ folder as an exclusion also an Idea if you exclude your Music library from being scanned too. 3) Try downloading RadioDJ and if Windows defender complains click "allow on device" to any threats these are all FALSE Flags. 4) Try extracting RadioDJ from the zipped folder into the folder you created 5) Right click on the setup .exe of RadioDJ and click Properties. If the exe is being blocked by Windows Unblock it 6 You should now be able to nstall RadioDJ into the folder. I've hurriedly tried to get these instructions to you I know its a FAFF but Wi...

Recently been sorting through photos on my computer so I could back them up to Google Drive. While going through one folder I saw this screenshot I took in 2013. I hadn't realised that it was 10 years ago that we started testing RadioDJ v1.6.3.2 one of the the first versions to use plugins. It was like a new piece of software written from the ground up by Marius. Every version has worked better than expected and the software is now much more powerful and streamlined than it was. RadioDJ now has a HUGE following and every person I speak to using the software speaks FONDLY of it. You'll notice there's hardly any Negative reviews about RadioDJ thats because its a piece of software that does what it was designed for. RadioDJ Automation Software is so feature packed it puts OTHER radio playout software in the SHADE You can see the History of the RadioDJ versions HERE ...

This is a common question we've seen on the RadioDJ forums. Q: Will RadioDJ free radio automation software run under .wine on Linux? A: Not at present and yes you can quote me on that! Don't believe us then feel free to test the theory out at your own risk! If you manage to get .NET installed there is no guarantee RadioDJ will work properly on .wine RadioDJ v2.x.x requires .NET 3.5 and 4.8 Even IF the database setup tool runs and you get RadioDJ fired up the program will constantly throw up errors at you. This is what happened last time I tried running RadioDJ under .wine I used to test when I saw an update for .wine or MONO and got frustrated at the same error messages everytime. I tested again recently and couldn't even get Wine/Winetricks to install correctly on an 64bit Ubuntu Studio. Users claim to have RadioDJ running on Wine but when you ask those users HOW they did it they never come back to explain the steps required ...

New users to RadioDJ seem to keep thinking that the Input button is a Microphone Button. The INPUT button never was intended as a Microphone Input and if you do try and use it you will get delay and feedback. The Input is NOT like the VOICE FX feature in other radio playout software. A great way of routing your Audio from your Microphone can be done by software such as Voicemeeter You connect your microphone to a Mixer before you send the audio to your computer via the line-in socket You can manage your Mic input via Voicemeeter which you then route to the encoding software The Voice FX feature in other software has never worked as it should Voicemeeter is the Essential Audio Superfood & It will make you sound MORE PROFESSIONAL!

For some time now a LOT of Antivirus solutions have had issues with the RadioDJ program files. They don't appear to like the way Marius packages the the software and installer. He's obfuscating his code to make it harder for other developers to steal it There are unscrupulous developers who given a chance would steal someones code and then claim it as theirs. If your Antivirus software complains about the program files just tell it to exclude the RadioDJ program folder on the C:\ Drive. I use Windows Defender for my Antivirus and I added the RadioDJ folder to the exclude list before I installed to that folder. Windows Security>>Virus Threat Protection>>Manage settings>>Add Or Remove Exclusions and add RadioDJ to that list. While you're excluding folders and files its a probably a good idea to exclude your Music folders from being scanned. It will improve the performance of RadioDJ amongst ot...

I recently tried to help a RadioDJ user who had been flooded out recently in the USA. When I asked if he's been taking daily backups he said he hadn't. He's had to start over again from scratch I feel his pain I had that problem frequently with other software. Its a GOOD IDEA if you backup your RadioDJ SQL database to Cloud Storage You know Just incase the worst happens to your computer like a flood I have Google Drive monitoring folders so as soon as I take a backup it gets uploaded to the server. This is why backing up your database to a "safe" location is Important I hope the user who wasn't backing up his RadioDJ database is now doing so. Your database holds a LOT of information about you song library and its structure which makes restoring it a Piece of cake. Use the database setup tool to backup set an hour (24 hour clock) set a folder and its that folder you backup to the cloud. Its rare for...

Have you ever wondered how to start your own online Internetradio station? Its not as difficult as you'd think...To run a radio station online you need the following. A decent broadband connection minimum of 2MB upload speed A decent spec desktop computer with a decent processor 1Ghz+ & 1GB RAM will do the job. A varied and large music collection a collection of around 2500+ songs usually helps. Decent automation software you can pick some up for free. A Shoutcast or Icecast server. A mixer and a decent microphone. If your current computer isn't up to the job of streaming 24/7 then you need to invest in a new(ish) computer. You should be able to pickup a decent computer with a decent specification cheap enough from places like eBay. You'll be needing a decent radio music automation program we highly recommend RadioDJ radio playout software for this. Reasons to Use RadioDJ: ...

I got into Internet radio in 1999 when I tuned into a LIVE365 station when Internetradio was in its infancy. It was late 2001 before I got my own Computer and Internet connection and was able to look into Internet radio a bit more. I then set about learning about how to stream on the Internet. I lost a position on an Oldies station in 2002 because of software constantly Malfunctioning without warning. They let me go after a few weeks because I couldn't manage to do a full show even though it was software at fault. I then set about trying to setup my own Internet radio station using a Shoutcast server which I rented for £7.50 a month. Radio automation software offerings were few and far between in 2002 Winamp with DSP plugins, Streaming Audio Manager, DRS 2006 were a few of the available pieces of radio software available. Winamp isn't suitable for running a radio station it has no artist/title repeat rules ...

As most of you know I happen to be the Worlds Biggest fan of RadioDJ ITS A TITLE I'M PROUD OF! RadioDJ is the most perfect piece of radio playout software and works everytime I need to use it. However I get a lot of people having a dig at me for the way I defend the program. Gary is acts in a sectarian way by defending the software tooth and nail I'm fed up with people having a POP at me everytime I go to stick up for the software. OK so I'll admit it RadioDJ isn't 100% FOOLPROOF BUT It performs better than other radio playout solutions. Some Users seem to EXPECT far too much from Marius he codes the software in his spare time and some people can't grasp that. I champion other software as well such as Voicemeeter so my posts are not always about RadioDJ Even in BETA RadioDJ software has been stable and just for the record I've pointed out the flaws with the BETA versions. Flaws have always usually been...

Sometimes antivirus programs flag up the RadioDJ program files as suspicious. Avast, AVG, Bitdefender, Kaspersky & Norton keep deleting and quarantining files from the RadioDJ website. I had issues with AV software deleting RadioDJ a while back. I sent the RadioDJ.exe file to an antivirus company and they came back with this. Sorry, it was a false detection. It will be fixed in the next update After the next update the Antivirus Deleted the RadioDJ program files again so I binned that piece of Antivirus software off. It annoys me when Antivirus Software flags up a perfectly SAFE program as being infected when it isn't You can be rest assured there are ZERO Viruses in RadioDJ. Marius sometimes has issues with the way he packages the Installer He tries to protect his code from being stolen by other developers The AntiVirus thinks the packaged files are Infected when they aren't! Q: Do you need Antivirus softwar...
