DJ Garybaldy - The Only sound you need

Have you tried to get SAM Broadcaster requests setup then you'll know how FRUSTRATING is to get SAM to accept requests. SAM requires two ports to be open to accept requests 1221 and 3306 You also need to enter the IP address of your website in the request handler in SAM in order for it to process requests. You have the option of two request templates in SAM a PHP or HTML one. If you use the HTML template requests are usually handled through Audiorealm. PHP website requests should be handled by your website and sent direct to SAM. Users struggle to get requests working in SAM even if they have the right IP to accept requests from in the request configuration. Unable to connect to 22.248.186.138:1221(Err#: 803) Station might be offline, or connection is being blocked A few years back there was some concern about the SAM PHP request system being compromised in so some way. A re...

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...

As you probably know by now I swear by RadioDJ free radio automation software. While RadioDJ is primarily built for use in radio studio's. You DON'T have to be a Radio DJ in order to use the program. I currently use Radio DJ for automating my large music collection around my flat via Bluetooth. If you've converted your CD's to a digital and you're looking for a program that is great at automating your music collection then RadioDJ is the program you need RadioDJ supports a lot of audio codecs right out of the box.

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.

So you've successfully installed your RadioDJ database Now you'll be wanting to import/install music tracks into the program.

You do that from the options>categories You select the subcategory/category you wanted the songs in and then click Import. Directory Import imports an entire music folder. You do that by clicking on the folder icon at the top right hand of the box and navigate to the folder you want to import. It may take a while to import large folders of music into ...

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. Its not that difficult to maintain and backup your RadioDJ database. A backup of your SQL database is essential in case the worst should happen to your computer. 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...

A SAM Broacaster user is having issues with his SAM Broadcaster Pro activation. The user Tweeted that he was having issues with his SAM Broadcaster Pro Key @spacial explain to me why I emailed eight different people with an issue I have with SAM PRO They all keep telling me my product code key is invalid? I paid $300 for this P.O.S Spacial Audio have come back with this response. Did you purchase your product directly from our website? If not, then there is a possibility that this could be a crack license I can't wait to see what reply the user comes back with @spacial You don't accuse customers of running pirated copies of your software when they aren't. Its why I hate paid for software that has keys or activations the support for those products is DIRE! The Spacial Audio helpdesk aren't the only ones to accuse users you used to get accused by the SVS Volunteers on the Spacial Audio forums. The Spacial SAM Broadcaster Forums have been ...

If you're a SAM Broadcaster Pro user then you will probably have seen this message in the event log. 15:41:42 [TOUCH] Warning Touch aborted. Please register your station at AudioRealm.com This messsage lets Spacial Audio know just who is using their software without registering for their Audiorealm service. You can disable that message by unchecking a box in the setup options. IF you're using an illicit version and you've not unchecked that box Spacial Audio will have details of your IP address. Which to me means the software technically contains SPYWARE. I'm certain there are other ways SAM Broadcaster Pro lets Spacial Audio know just who is using it. SAM Broadcaster is NOT a good piece of software as its known to Crash & Burn all the time. Software such as RadioDJ has NO spyware because it doesn't have 3rd party websites tracking usage. ...

SAM Broadcaster Pro comes with Five different options of database to install (MySQL and MariaDB are practically the same thing) Firebird - MariaDB - MySQL - PostgreSQL - MSSQL Firebird appears to be the most unstable database of the options you're given. SAM Broadcaster 2020.2 on Firebird has been crashing every 2-5 days I regularly see users having stability issues using SAM Broadcaster Pro with the Firebird database. I installed SAM Broadcaster with the help of a software engineer We used the Firebird server That worked well for a few days Then SAM wouldn't restart SAM fails more and more now to the point where it crashes at least once/twice a Week Its taking the fun out of my hobby We often see users complaining that Firebird in SAM Broadcaster Pro has crashed on them and that they've lost all their data. I tried installing Firebird for SAM Broadcaster Pro but it didn't work Firebird only allows you to load a maximu...

Recently saw someone search for The Best Free Radio DJ Software when I looked at the stats on Google Analytics. By now they'll hopefully be using the best free music automation program of them all. RadioDJ is the best radio playout software IMHO Built around the .NET framework (at least 3.5 & 4.6.1) and a MySQL database its pretty reliable and stable. Q: Is RadioDJ really free? A: Yes its 100% free for use by any DJ or radio station, anywhere in the world. Despite claims by other software developers RadioDJ is a great starting point to start your own Internet radio station. RadioDJ doesn't rely on massive amounts of CPU it can run on a system with as little as 1GB RAM and least 1000 MHz CPU. Your system should have more power and processing, You can pick up computers with decent specifications cheaply these days. A new user of the software recently said this about RadioDJ. I'm new to RadioDJ it is bett...
