This guide details the Auto DJ feature of Infomaniak's Streaming Radio service, which allows you to generate a live radio stream 24/7 from your own audio content (music, shows, podcasts, jingles, etc.) that you have previously uploaded to your storage space.

Introduction

• Auto DJ uses the files stored in your Infomaniak AOD (Audio on Demand) space to create a linear stream.
  • You can use this same space for your on-demand file storage needs.
• You organize your media, create your playlists, and schedule their broadcast via an intuitive calendar interface.
• This allows you to maintain a continuous broadcast without needing an encoder active at all times.

Organize, import your audio files

The first step is to prepare your content. The tool currently accepts files in .mp3 and .aac format. You can import an entire folder containing your audio files:

Once imported, you can structure your files into dedicated folders within your storage space to facilitate the management of your library:

Metadata Management

It is possible to directly modify ID3 tags (title, artist, album, cover art) from the interface so that this information is displayed correctly on your playback devices:

Create Playlists

Once your files are imported, you can group them into playlists:

• Manual playlists: precisely select the tracks and their order.
• Automatic playlists: define smart criteria (by tags, genres, or artists) to allow the system to dynamically generate the playlist:
  

Schedule Broadcasts (Scheduling)

The scheduling tool allows you to manage your program schedule in detail:

• Scheduling by time slots: arrange your broadcasts by playlist or folder on a weekly calendar:
  
• Fallback playlist: configure a backup playlist that will be broadcast automatically when no specific program is scheduled, ensuring an uninterrupted stream.
• Live / AutoDJ transition: you can schedule time slots or automate the resumption of the Auto DJ stream as soon as an encoder (external source) stops pushing its stream.

Advanced Audio Settings

To ensure professional listening quality, several processing options are available:

• Audio Normalization: Uniforms the audio level of all your files to avoid volume differences between tracks.
• Transitions: Configure crossfades and overlaps between tracks:
