1. RadioDJ V2.0.0.6
- Built-in Encoder
- Price: Free
- Windows
VERDICT
As far as features go, it matches up to commercial radio broadcasting software like SAM Broadcaster. It has a seamless Auto DJ that cross-fades songs nicely with no extra settings. Adding sweepers or voice tracks to songs is one of the simplest things to do in Radio DJ.
Pros
Excellent & seamless auto cross-fade.
Track management is simple with predefined categories.
- An unlimited number of aux players.
- An intuitive user interface that’s pleasant to use.
Cons
Lacks a built in encoder.
Basic microphone control –you just turn it on and off.
No player decks.
The intro:
RadioDJ is one of the best free radio automation software with thousands of users. But there is a plan by Marius to introduce a paid version in 2018.
To get started with RadioDJ quickly, you have to learn how to use it. You can read the user manual, watch YouTube videos created by avid users or browse RadioDJ forums.
Why am I recommending this?
The software can be quite complicated. But, after using it for a while, it becomes really intuitive to operate and fast.
Was it easy to install?
Installing RadioDJ certainly requires extra steps. You first download the full program.
Then, you need an external database. RadioDJ recommends MySQL or its popular fork MariaDB.
The latter requires fewer installation instructions, and it's the most recommended. You can check out our setup guide for further guidance.
Let's see some of the features I liked:
Excellent event scheduling
You create events in RadioDJ using the ‘Events’ tool. You access it by clicking the settings wrench at the bottom-left corner of your screen.
It can schedule more than one action at the specified time. To stay organized, you can create categories for your events. Now...
What are some of the action types?
There are playlist actions, playback actions, automation actions, input actions, plugin actions, and other actions like launching an internet stream or running an application.
After creating an event, you’ll see a count down timer under the Aux Players with the name of the event.
You can see the intro and outro of a playing track
Do you want to talk before a song starts playing?
RadioDJ not only allows you to set the intro for each song (the point the artist starts singing) and outro (when the song stops playing) but also lets you see these points.
First class cross-fade
The transition from song to song is very smooth. If you have a sweeper assigned to the track, the track's volume fades, allowing the sweeper to play.
Unlike in SAM Broadcaster, we didn’t have to adjust the cross-fade settings manually.
30 instant players for your sound FX
You get 30 slots to add your sound effects, and you can change the color of any instant player.
When you trigger a sound effect, the music volume will fade, and you can play multiple effects at once. What's more, you can create and save multiple carts.
Unlimited number of auxiliary players
By default, RadioDJ comes with three aux players. These are useful when you want to play audio items without adding them to your database. For instance…
When an artist sends you a track, you can directly add it to one of the auxiliary players from File Explorer.
So, how do you adjust the number of your aux players? This is how you do it….
From the RadioDJ Configuration window (settings), select Plugins and double-click Aux Players.
Predefined categories in the track manager
The Tracks Manager allows you to import individual files, folders, or a directory. For instance…
Here you can see that we want to import a track. We can define its main category, subcategory, genre, and track type.
We liked it:
Because of the numerous predefined genres, categories and subcategories. We didn’t have to create new ones every time we imported audio files. It’s really time-saving.
It's missing the built-in encoder! (AltaCast plugin)
In old versions of RadioDJ (v1.8.2 and earlier), you could install the AltaCast Encoder Plugin.
You'll need a standalone plugin to broadcast your stream in the latest versions.
How does it compare to SAM Broadcaster?
SAM Broadcaster and RadioDJ are currently the biggest names in internet radio. So, which is better?
RadioDJ interface looks better & way cooler. However, it lacks a way to visualize the microphone.
SAM’s decks are superior to the main player in RadioDJ. They have a slider, which you can use to skip to a particular point in a song. What’s more, you can configure the EQ for each deck.
However, there have been reports by past users that the program is buggy and prone to crash, while RadioDJ has excellent stability. Well, neither program crashed during this review.
Some users have turned to RadioDJ, because it’s free. However, there is a plan to introduce a paid version that might see the come back of a built-in encoder, a feature missing in the latest versions of RadioDJ (2.x.x.x).
SAM also supports PAL (Playlist Automation Language) scripting. But, you need to fully learn how to write PAL scripts, because a poorly scripted code can cause the program to crash.
There are some programming articles on the Spacial website. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the time to learn how to use PAL.
In my case, I enjoyed using SAM Broadcaster more. But, try them both to form the best conclusion.
2. PlayIt Live V2.06 (Build 2785)
- Price: Free
- Built-in Encoder
VERDICT
It’s a free radio broadcasting software with paid premium plugins and modules—you can download separately. Live will wow you with its intuitive interface and its array of free features.
Pros
An intuitive interface that's easy to use.
Unique scheduling.
Quick cart for jingles & sound effects.
Free encoder plugin.
Cons
Paid modules can be expensive.
Limited support of audio formats.
You can’t save your playout patterns (rotations).
The intro:
PlayIt Software is a radio software company launched in 2011. Their initial product was the PlayIt Recorder released in 2011 —followed by PlayIt Live released in 2012.
If you are looking for a free radio broadcasting software, PlayIt Live is one of the best alternatives to try. It’s not entirely free, because of the paid plugins and modules.
The plugins include Audio Processing, Remote Start (which allows you to use a hardware device), Now Playing plugin (for sending the metadata of a playing song to a text file) and the Microphone Mix/Push To Talk plugin.
In addition to the PlayIt Live software module, you might need its extra modules such as the PlayIt Manager, PlayIt Cartwall, PlayIt VoiceTrack, and PlayIt Recorder.
Was it easy to install?
Yeah, it was easy to install.
Like RadioBOSS, you’ll not need to download a standalone database to manage your music.
And we found some nice features in the PlayIt Live playout system:
An intuitive interface
PlayIt Live excels with a clean, understandable, and easy to use interface. You can drag-and-drop music files directly from the File Explorer into the Playout Log. Mind you; it supports audio and video files (WAV, MP3, WMA & MP4).
You also get three players, which makes it convenient if you’re providing background music to a voice track. You will also see all the tracks in your database on your left.
At the bottom panel, you get the QuickCarts where you can drop your effects and jingles. You can allocate different colors to each cart or edit how your audio items will play. You can also add multiple quick cart pages.
Efficient track manager
Adding tracks and grouping them will be an effortless chore in PlayIt Live. The Track Manager not only allows you to add files, but it automatically analyzes silence in tracks to set appropriate cue in and out points.
Creating rotations is also effortless
You create rotations by defining a Playout Pattern. To use this feature, you must have saved your audio items in groups. For example:
Here, you can see some of the groups we defined when importing music. After creating the playout pattern, we set the repetition rules in the Playout Policies window.
To start track rotation, we just enabled Auto DJ.
The one limitation of creating rotations is that you can’t create and save different profiles.
Segue editor
The segue editor has been deemed fantastic by other users, and in actuality, it was a breeze to use.
You can access it by pressing the pencil icon next to each track in the Playout Log. This opens the editor, which allows you to move the tracks' waveform and edit the fade points for a precise cross-fade.
Advanced scheduling with the Playout Log and Clocks
There are two ways to schedule in PlayIt Live. You can use the Playout Log, which is similar to adding items in a playlist.
Some of the items you can add in the Playout Log include break notes (a duration of silence with notes), fixed time marker (which helps keep time), tracks, track groups (to pick random songs from groups and play them as per the playout policies), aux input, and remote URLs.
Secondly, you can create hour-templates called clocks. For instance….
Here, we have created an hour template.
Next, we've scheduled it as a recurring event:
Free encoder plugin only streams in MP3
You get a built-in encoder that supports multiple streams. But, it can only stream in the Mp3 codec.
Price
The plugins are priced competitively at just $15. Here is the deal:
You don’t have to pay for all the extra modules except – the PlayIt Manager and the PlayIt Voice Track, which are priced at $15 per month or $150 per year. Or you can pay a one-time fee of $375 for each program.
3. Mixxx V2.1.3
- Price: Free
- Built-in Encoder
VERDICT
The best free DJ program suitable for web radio enthusiasts and persons who have never Djed. It’s perfect for creating mixes with your mouse & keyboard or with a hardware controller. It also comes with a built-in encoder for SHOUTcast and Icecast streaming, which makes it an excellent alternative playout system for web radio stations.
Pros
- Four dynamic skins.
Auto DJ for automation.
Up to 4 microphone inputs.
Waveforms to visualize your music.
Built-in encoder that also sends the song’s metadata.
Up to 64 samples cart.
Cons
The skin runs out of space with all the sections open.
Lacks a mobile app or remote control feature.
The intro:
Mixxx is free with no catch! You download the setup file and use the program with no worries.
But, if you want to record or broadcast in the MP3 codec, you’ll need to download and save lame.dll files in the Mixxx installation folder.
You can find the setup instructions in our Mixxx setup guide (link included below).
Getting started with Mixxx
When you first launch the program, you'll be prompted to select the location of your music files.
In the latest version, 2.1.3, the default skin is Latenight. But, you can change it to three other options; Shade, Deere, and Tango.
Detailed deck sections
The deck sections, literally, enable you to see your music. The waveforms are particularly useful for transitioning from one song to another.
You see the song’s BPM and the pitch. And you can easily sync two tracks with similar BPMs during mixing.
4 Microphones inputs
Mixxx works with any microphone connected to your sound card or audio interface. What’s more, you can have up to 4 microphone inputs.
The microphone section has various controls. Pressing the talk button will mix the mic’s sound to the master output. You can also toggle the microphone’s input orientation to either the right side of the crossfader or the left.
As you talk, you'll see the input strength in the volume meter. You also get a gain knob to adjust the volume.
By default, the microphone section is hidden in the user interface. However, you can enable it from “View” in the main menu.
Built-in sound effects
In the last version of Mixxx (2.0.0) there were five effects; Echo, Flanger, BitCrusher, Filter and Reverb.
Among the most exciting additions in the latest version are the new sound effects, which are 13 in total.
Here is the best part:
You can chain effects together to create one effect unit.
Encoder for live broadcasting
Configuring the encoder and connecting it to your broadcasting server will be relatively easy. It established a connection to our broadcasting without buffering issues.
The Auto DJ
The Auto DJ allows you to mix songs automatically. But first, you have to create a playlist.
You can add songs randomly from your collection or the File Explorer into the Auto DJ.
After adding songs, there is an option to shuffle them. Also, you can adjust the fade time.
The screen can quickly become cluttered
Mixxx seems to run out of space quickly if you have multiple sections opened, like the effects section, the microphone section, the samplers, and the 4 decks.
Virtual DJ, on the other hand, doesn’t experience this problem since everything is neatly organized.
4. ProppFrexx ONAIR V4.1.5.4
- Price: €99 to 549
- Built-in Encoder
- Windows
VERDICT
It's an advanced radio automation and playout system for internet broadcasters. It's full of features, easy to install, and quick to learn, but with tutorials of course. Customers have also lauded its stability, programmability, and versatility.
Pros
- Easy voice tracking.
- Simple to use and learn.
- Supports virtually all audio files.
- Modern looking interface with docking manager to keep everything neat.
Cons
- Might seem a bit complex to newbies
The intro:
Before ProppFrexx, there was radio42, an internet radio station for lounge-lovers that begun broadcasting in 2001.
Bernd Niedergesaess the radio's proprietor is the genius behind ProppFrexx and Bass.Net (audio engine). These solutions were directly aimed at helping him create a fully automated radio station.
The program has been around since 2009. The name was actually coined after a few bottles of wine between friends. And you can catch the full story at radio42.com.
Straightaway, let's get to the review and see why it's the best software for your studio.
Is it easy to install?
Really easy, and quick too.
You'll need to provide your name and email address on the download page to receive the link.
After downloading it, you go through the normal setup wizard. It might only take you just 5 minutes.
After launching the program, you select the "Demo Version." It shuts off after 3 hours.
On the first run, there is an ON AIR setup wizard. If you have a touch screen monitor, you can choose to use the Touch UI. In this review, we're using the Metropolis Dark theme.
Configuring the stream server
Straight out of the box, you might want to configure the stream server settings. You can stream in different codecs, including MP3, OGG, WMA & OPUS. For AAC, you must first install "Quick Time" on Windows.
Here is the procedure for setting up the server settings:
Step 1: From the main navigation bar, select the Tools Tab → General Settings
Step 2: In the Settings and Options window, choose Streaming.
Streaming ProppFrexx
Step 3: Configure your stream settings. Your radio host provides the server address, password, etc.
Step 4: Select OK to finish. You can then configure how the player will display the title information and start streaming.
The Playout system & Creating Playlists
ProppFrexx can run in the manual mode, Auto-Play, and Live-Assist. There are three main players (A,B & C). We particularly liked that track information that includes the song's format, BPM, Bitrate, Duration, etc.
Getting started is a breeze. First, you add music folders to your media library (Scheduler → Libraries → Media Libraries).
Next, you can create playlists from manually or from script templates. Scripting is a bit complex to figure out. Luckily, there is a tutorial you can watch: ProppFrexx On Air: Scripting. Also, refer to the program manual:
The program also supports playlists created by third-party builders.
Players & The PFL Player
ProppFrexx has some of the best audio players of any radio automation program on this list.
You see the song's waveform, and you can perform actions like skipping or adjusting the fade ramp.
When you double click a particular song on the playlist list, you launch the Pre-fade-Listen Player.
The PFL Player supports many actions and functions. For ease of use, you get a jog wheel to vary the track's position and speed.
You can set the ins & outs, ramp, EQ, and even add special effects to the song.
Voice-tracking on another level
Voice tracking on ProppFrexx is topnotch. You can instantly record using your built-in mic or external input. The recording is inserted as a new playlist entry.
The tool also has a segue editor that helps your voice track blend in seamlessly.
To open the Voice Tracking Tool, you right-click any song and select "Voice Tracking." Or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + F11.
Explorer (Must Use Tool).
The tool lets you view your music folders inside ProppFrexx.
You to access it, you just need to select View from the main navigation menu and open "Explorer."
Standby players
There are up to 3 standby players that you can use for interviews, special requests, etc.
Standby players, directory explorer
Scheduling Options
Scheduling works really well. We had the change to set up the "Program Scheduler."
It allows you to schedule music and shows. There is an overlay scheduler used for scheduling adverts.
Cartwalls
Another great feature of ProppFrexx is the two integrated cartwalls..
Here, you can add a list of your jingles, sweepers, or sound effects.
You can even loop or fade your inserts.
Adding tracks is also easy. Here are the steps to follow. Select Scheduler → Libraries → Cartwalls Libraries → Add Playlist or Add Folder.
To use the Cartwalls, you’ll need to view Cartwalls I or Cartwalls II. To open them, select View from the main menu.
Additional features & tools
ProppFrexx has a full suite of tools, and supplementary stand-alone applications. Noteworthy mentions include:
- Audio-CD ripper and burner.
- Multiple-user support.
- Graphical segue.
- In-built web browser.
- Can fetch RSS feeds and weather updates.
- Audio Mixing and Routing.
Standalone tools:
- ProppFrexx Statistics
- Remove Viewer
- Command line tool.
- GPIO Client
- Meta Data Editor
ProppFrexx Pricing
You can’t purchase ProppFrex, but only license it.
Non-commercial packages include the Basic Edition (€99), Premium version (€199), and Professional (€249).
Commercial packages include the Premium (€ 349), Professional (€ 449), and Enterprise (€599).
5. SAM Broadcaster Pro V2020
- Built-in Encoder
- Price: $299
- Windows
VERDICT
By far –the second best radio automation software we tested. It’s easy to use and learn. And it is full of all the features you’ll need in your web radio including a built-in encoder. The Pro version goes for $299, but this will be excellent value for your hard-earned cash!
Pros
Track rotation in 3 playlist rotation modules
- Simple to use voice-tracking.
- Supports pal scripting.
- The built-in encoder supports AAC+, Mp3, WAM & Vorbis.
Cons
- Lacks a segue editor.
- No remote voice tracking.
The intro:
Launched in 2002 by Spacial Audio, SAM Broadcaster has become the best selling internet broadcasting software.
Did this make it the second-best radio automation software for hobbyists and professional internet radio broadcasters? No!
Let’s peak under its hood and find out why:
Was it easy to install?
Yes depending on the database you use. I'll explain:
You get 14 days to try SAM Broadcaster Pro.
On the download page, you've to give up your name + email address for the trial link and subscription to their newsletter.
SAM Broadcaster requires an external database, and you'll have three options: Firebird, MySQL or Microsoft SQL Server.
Each database has its pros and cons:
Firebird is included in the installer, so you’ll not download it or take extra steps to configure it. Time-saving isn't it?
However –it's slightly slower than the other two. And Spacial advises against using it if your music library will contain more than 20,000 tracks.
With a large collection of music, you can’t go wrong with MySQL or the Microsoft SQL server.
But, you must install and configure them before installing SAM broadcaster. Don't worry if you're not a techie:
Check out the SAM Broadcaster user manual for the instructions on how to setup the two databases.
How was the user interface?
I’ll admit it, the user interface isn’t ultra-modern nor very attractive, in fact, it has remained unchanged over the years, but it’s one of the best I encountered during this review. Why so?
Features are cleverly organized in three desktop views. In Desktop A, you get the two player decks, Queue, Playlist, Voice FX, History, and Sound FX.
Desktop B has the Encoders, Event Scheduler, Pal Scripts, Event Log, and Static Relays Graph.
In Desktop C, you'll get the Playlist, History, Queue, Request, Voice Tracking, and Aux Player.
Now here is the best part:
By default, this is the configuration you get, but you can customize the desktops and add or hide any window. For example…
Let’s say you want Voice-Tracking in Desktop A. You select Desktop A > Window > Voice-Tracking.
A desktop can display all the windows, as long as you have space on your monitor:
Encoders, Jingles & Drops, Voice-Tracking in Desktop A.
What if I have two monitors? No problem…
In addition to customizing the desktop views, you can open a second main window and add the features you want. A quick pointer…
To enable the dual screen feature, select Window > Desktop > Dual Screen.
Adding music was fast and effortless!
There are various ways to add music in SAM Broadcaster. You can drag & drop tracks to the Queue window.
Alternatively, you can create categories and import music using the File Explorer.
In this review, we created two subcategories under Music in the Playlist window; Top 40 songs 2016-2017 and 1972 Top 10 Hits, then imported music using the + button, which allowed us to add multiple files at once.
Loading songs to the players, Queue or AUX players is equally easy. You just drag and drop!
Editing a song’s cue points
You may have to manually set the intro, outro, start and end points. It’s easy to do, you right-click on a song and select Song info.
This opens the Song information editor. To set the cue points, you select the Settings tab. This tab also allows you to change the Beats Per Minute (BPM) and enable or disable the Gap Killer.
You can run SAM Broadcaster in three modes
Auto DJ Mode
In the Auto DJ, you need to create a rotation. Well, this is one of the easiest things to do:
First, you specify the ‘Playlist Rotation Rules,’ which involves telling the Auto DJ not to play an album, artist, title or track within a time period.
Second, you stipulate the ‘Playlist rotation logic module.’
There are three options:
- The Clockwheel (Category rotation) logic module – which selects songs from categories.
- The Web scripting based logic module -which plays songs from online sources.
- The Weighted playlist rotation logic module -which prioritizes the most played songs.
Category rotation may be the most obvious choice during automation. You’ll have to tell SAM the categories to select songs and how to play them.
By this I mean, whether to enforce the playlist rules or ignore them. For jingles and stations IDs, you may not need to enforce the repetition rules.
Below you can see how I selected and added categories:
And the rotation clockwheel format:
Play queue, Manual mode
In Play Queue mode, SAM plays music until the Queue is empty. It pulls music from the categories using the current logic module.
Manual mode allows you to take full control of the program. You'll be likely using this mode during a live broadcast.
Mic control on another level!
The Voice FX window gives you unparalleled control and visualization of your microphone.
You clearly see when your mic is on or off. You can adjust its volume or the music volume. The dB meter shows the strength of the input allowing you to control the loudness of your voice.
It also comes with an EQ and detailed Config window where you can change the input device, buffer settings and music fade in & fade out.
Voice-tracking was not great.
I expected much more for SAM Broadcaster's voice-tracking feature. Here was the deal breaker:
It did not play the last seconds of the preceding track like the tool in PlayoutONE and NextKast.
Also, there was not way to delete parts of the recording - a feature I found in RadioBOSS.
You will need to setup the cross-fade correctly
The program had issues cross-fading songs automatically.
For instance, in the Auto DJ mode, the artist would start singing before the instruments of the preceding song ended. So…
You may have to play around with the cross-fade and gap killer settings for precise transitions.
Price
You can buy SAM Broadcaster Pro for a one time fee of $299. You’ll also get 12 months of free updates. Spacial Audio also offers a payment plan, where you pay $110 for 3 months.
If you run a terrestrial radio station, you’ll need to purchase SAM Broadcaster Studio currently going for $699.
6. RadioBOSS V5.9.4.0
- Price: $239.95
- Built-in Encoder
VERDICT
It’s packed with numerous features suitable for beginners and advanced users. It’s worth checking out and a joy to use.
Pros
Versatile event scheduler and ad scheduler.
Integrated virtual sound cards.
- Automatic weather and time announcements.
- Aux players with mini-playlists.
Cons
- Just one main player.
The intro:
RadioBOSS is among the best radio automation software we reviewed. It’s the flagship product of DJSoft.net, a small company founded in 2003.
Was it easy to install?
Yes. And it was quick! For the trial:
You get 150 uses of the fully-functional version. After five hours of continuous use, the program will shut down. But, you can re-load it and pick up where you left off.
Like NextKast, you will not need a third-party database to store your user data.
So, what made RadioBOSS standout?
RadioBOSS Help System
Help is available even if you're not connected to the internet. Whenever you’re stuck, look for “?” or the “Help button.” Click them to open the relevant topic. It means…
You don’t have to seek help on the web or forums, which makes the program easy to learn.
A powerful event scheduler
The event scheduler can perform multiple actions at the same time. It can load tracks, playlists, play an internet stream, start “Line Input,” insert automatic announcements in the playback, download files & podcasts, start a program, and more!
You’ll enjoy building playlists and adding voice tracks!
The File Explorer which is part of the control panel allows you to browse and add files to the playlist window.
For voice-tracking, you select a song in the playlist and click Playlist > Record voice track.
Okay, most radio automation programs have this feature. What’s so special about the voice track tool in RadioBOSS?
You can delete parts of your recording as shown below:
The voice track is then inserted between the outro and intro of the upcoming track.
Easy track rotation with Playlist Generator Pro
Again, you'll enjoy creating a rotation. So, how do you go about it?
You launch the Playlist Generator Pro, create categories, and define the repetition rules.
The categories are saved, so don’t worry about losing them after closing the program.
In the example below, we created three categories; Top 40 songs, Jingles, and 70s Songs. You can also see that we defined our playlist length as 8 hours.
Add a web browser as a work zone
You can browse the internet directly from RadioBOSS. You open a new work zone as a web browser. This feature is quite handy.
You can view your social media accounts while working in RadioBOSS, search for something on Google or play audio from a website.
The built-in encoder supports all the popular audio formats
The encoder can stream audio and metadata to an Icecast or SHOUTcast server. It also supports the most popular audio codecs such as AAC, MP3, FLAC, OPUS, and OGG.
During the review, it worked perfectly with our HTML player, and we didn’t experience any buffering.
What we didn't like:
Just one player!
The player leaves a lot to be desired because it’s only one. You might miss the dual decks in SAM Broadcaster or the four players in PlayoutONE. While this is limiting…
You can add more than one aux player, and each aux player supports a mini-playlist. This is also a standout feature!
What does it cost?
RadioBOSS is offered in three editions. The Express edition, which goes for $119.95, won’t support video file playback, internet streaming with the built-in encoder, playback of internet streams, advertisement scheduler and user access control.
The Standard version at $199.5 doesn't include video playback or user access control.
For all the features, you need the Advanced edition at $239.95.
7. PlayoutONE V4.0.8
- Price: £99
- Built-in Encoder
VERDICT
Excels with its modern interface that's simple to use. It's also budget-friendly.
Pros
- Suitable for beginners.
- Intuitive modern interface.
- 4 main players.
- Excellent voice tracking feature.
- Well priced playout system.
Cons
- Some features are offered separately such as the encoder.
- You may need to use a third-party scheduling system since it lacks advanced scheduling capabilities.
The intro:
PlayoutONE is a radio automation program by a UK based company called Radio Solutions. The program targets people looking for a cost-effective solution –without the ongoing costs of a professional playout system.
Was it easy to install?
Yes --and you'll need also to install the Microsoft SQL server.
You’ll get the chance to test the pro version of PlayoutONE for 20 days. However, it’s quite a large download of about 527MB. This because:
And the pro version comprises of other modules such as the Auto Importer, Remote Voice Tracker, Serial Data Receiver, Live Stream, and Surface Windows app.
How was the interface?
The main interface is simple and uncluttered. You'll notice the lack of a drop-down menu.
But, you can access everything from the main toolbar including the media finder, categories, playlist, auto DJ, predefined commands, settings, EQ & processing, types, and quick keys.
c
A mass importer
Before coming up with a playlist, you import music into PlayoutONE. You can do this in two ways…
First, by adding music tracks one by one. Second, through the mass importer, which allows you to import music from folders and sub-folders.
During the importation, the program automatically analyzes for silence at the start and end of a track. This allows it to set the intro and outro point.
Yes...a built-in CD Ripper
Another standout feature is the built-in CD ripper that enables you to import tracks from CDs into your database.
If the CD ripper doesn't find the track information, it can retrieve the metadata from the internet.
How would I use four players?
You get 4 audio players and a fifth player for playing a stream from the internet. You can use to stream a syndicated show like a news broadcast. What's more:
You can set each player to use a different sound card. And skipping from one point of a song to another is quite easy. You click on the position you wish to skip to using your mouse.
And can you create rotations?
At this point you might be asking: Does it support track rotation? Yes…but in this case, you create AutoDJ profiles. For instance:
Here, I created a profile with two categories.
You can also add commands in rotations such as telling the program to load a stream from the internet at a specified time.
After creating an AutoDJ profile, you can save it or use it to generate a playlist. Moving on...
Voice Tracking is fantastic!
Voice-tracking is one of the simplest things to do in PlayoutONE. This is how you do it….
Once you create a playlist, you select the track that will precede the voice track and click on the microphone icon.
Automatically, it will begin to play the last 10 seconds of the track. You can press the record icon to start talking immediately or wait until the song stops playing.
After recording, you will see three waveforms; one belonging to the preceding track, your recording, and the next track's waveform.
You move the waveforms for a perfect transition.
Of course, there are things that I didn’t like:
The Quick Keys
The Quick Keys feature allows you to assign audio items like sound effects to a set of 25 buttons.
Well, 25 sounds like a small number when comparing it to the 30 instant players in RadioDJ or up to 96 slots in StationPlaylist Studio.
Since the Quick Keys opens in a separate window, you might struggle finding room for it on a smaller screen.
It should not be a problem if you have two monitors. Also, the program supports multiple windows like SAM Broadcaster.
Basic Audio Processing and Equalization
If you’re a self-declared audiophile looking for perfect sound settings, you might be disappointed by the basic inbuilt compressor and equalizer.
YouTube videos and free calls, but outdated manual
While figuring out how everything works, we turned to the manual, which frankly needs updating after the release of PlayoutONE Version 3 that has new features such as the Media Finder. On the other hand:
The team at Radio Solutions posts tutorials & webinars on YouTube. Watch to get started in the shortest possible time.
If you’re in the USA or UK, you can call Radio Solutions for free to inquire about the products.
Price
PlayoutONE Standard – (the playout system) –costs £99. Each additional module goes for £49 including the LiveStream (standalone encoder), File Copy, Surface app, Remote Voice Tracking, Serial Data Receiver, and Auto Importer.
8. mAirList V6.3
- Price: €600
- Built-in Encoder
- Windows
VERDICT
You can customize each aspect of this playout system, though it’s a bit expensive.
Pros
Supports third-party databases.
Clean user interface.
Two main players.
Good voice tracking.
Cons
It will take time to learn.
Setting up rotations is difficult.
The intro:
mAirList is the brainchild of Torben Weibert who holds a Ph.D. in computer science from the TU Dortmund University in Germany.
He started working on the software as a computer student in the early 2000s –after the local campus radio “eldoradio” required a professional playout system, but commercial options at the time were too expensive.
Could this be your next radio automation software? Let’s see:
Was it easy to install?
Yes --and it comes with a built-in database:
You download the setup file from the Download page at mairlist.com. And install it.
When you launch mAirList, a window will alert you that no license has been found.
You can run the program in demo mode with some limitations.
For instance, the audio output will be of very low quality, voice-tracking will be limited to 10 seconds, and the database server connection will stop working after 10 minutes.
To evaluate the paid versions, select Activate Trial License.
There are various licenses such as the Advanced Edition, Home Studio, Professional Studio and Standard Edition –which come with a 30-day trial.
Get acquainted with the program before use
On the surface, mAirList looks like a program you can use without reading a darn manual! However, it’s complex with a lot of hidden features. So…
Consider reading the tutorials at the mAirList Wiki. Don't skip the beginner's guide to mAirList and getting started with mAirListDB.
Now —let’s look at features we liked:
Advanced playlist editor
There are two ways to create playlists in mAirList. You can manually insert files into the playlist window, or automate the process using the mAirListDB database.
To add songs in the playlist window:
You click Insert from the top toolbar and select Files. Alternatively, you can drag and drop songs to the playlist from the File Explorer.
In addition to music, you can also insert playlist files, live feeds, commands, silence, comments, audio, news containers, hook containers, region containers, cartwall pages, and more.
Or use a folder tree to add songs
By default, you’ll see the Recycle Bin in the browser section. To add folder trees, click Add from the main toolbar and choose the folder that contains your music.
For instance, we added our music folder and renamed it as shown above:
Voice-tracking was okay
Recording and adding voice tracks in your playlist is quite simple.
You click on a song and select the microphone icon from the main toolbar to open the Voice Track Recorder. Now, here is the best part:
When you click the record icon, the tool plays the last ten seconds of the preceding track. . After you have finished recording, you can edit your voice track in the Mix Editor.
A flexible event scheduler
The event editor allows you to customize your event in many ways and even set an expiration date. Similar to the event scheduler in RadioDJ, you can add multiple actions to one event.
Some of the actions you can do include loading a file, disabling or enabling automation, starting or pausing recording, generating playlists from your database, sending an email, downloading a file from the internet, and more!
Music scheduling with mAirListDB is more involving
If you want to create playlists automatically, you first create a new database and save it.
Then, you have to import music into an unsorted folder, create virtual folders (categories), and then sort your audio items into them.
This process took substantial time and effort. And this is only the beginning…
Since mAirListDB uses an hour grid for scheduling, you'll have to generate playlists of 60 minutes each. The process involves creating hourly templates made up of time blocks.
After which, you create music templates that define the source of files to be used by the hour templates. Generally…
Creating a rotation in mAirList will demand a lot of time and learning on your part.
Built-in encoder with audio processing
While setting up rotations and scheduling with the database was a tedious ordeal, setting up encoders was simple.
However, by default, you can only stream in the MP3 format since mAirList only supports Mp1, Mp2, Mp3, OGG, and WAV.
To stream or play other audio file formats such as AAC or OPUS, you have to download the relevant DLL files and copy them to the plugins/bass folder.
Price
It’s certainly not cheap! The Standard Edition costs €400 without features such as voice tracking, ad scheduler, and support for external DSP plugins.
The Advanced Edition for semi-pro studios costs €600. And the Professional Edition goes for more than €1000.
9. StationPlaylist Studio Pro V5.30
- Price: $259
- Built-in Encoder
- Windows
VERDICT
Without a third-party scheduling program, Studio provides limited automation features. Its user interface needs an overdue revamp.
Pros
Easy recording and adding voice tracks in between tracks.
A built-in encoder & DSP audio processor.
Cons
You need a separate scheduling program such as StationPlaylist Creator to create rotations.
Since you'll need two programs instead of one, your markup costs will be more.
The intro:
If you judged a book by its cover, you would think unfavorably of StationPlaylist Studio. Its interface is not the most modern.
But, its users are some of the most loyal and happy:
Was it easy to install?
Yes...during the setup, you'll configure Studio through a series of wizards.
If you need advanced automation features like track rotation—download and setup Station Creator.
If you installed the trial versions for Creator and Studio, you'll have 21 days to use them.
So what's nice about this radio automation program?
Excellent playlist editor
The playlist editor allows you to view, edit, and preview songs in a playlist. You will also use its VT Recorder tool to add voice tracks in between songs.
Another excellent feature of the editor is the ability to insert break notes in the playlist. You can use them to provide notes to the DJ, such as announcements or advertisements.
What’s more, break notes can be used to control the playback using custom commands.
Nice track tool for editing intros and outros
The Track Tool lets you edit an individual track. You access it by right-clicking on a music track and selecting 'Load in Track.'
You can preview the song, and set the intro point when the artist starts singing. It also allows you to edit the cue and segue positions.
A robust built-in encoder
The encoder, which is lacking in RadioDJ, is a nice addition to StationPlaylist Studio. It supports Shoutcast, Icecast, and Windows Media Push.
You can stream in MP3, AAC, WMA, Ogg Vorbis, or Ogg Flac. It sends the song’s metadata, but you can choose to update the song details manually.
It’s noteworthy to mention that if you use a mixing deck, you'll need a standalone encoder.
The StationPlaylist Streamer retails at $86 for non-studio users and $46 for previous Studio customers.
What I didn't like:
The interface!
Indeed, not the best out there. It’s simplistic yes, but it’s not as attractive as RadioDJ's intuitive interface. What's more:
In PlayIt Live, you access your carts in a panel appended near the bottom. In RadioDJ, your carts are neatly displayed in a separate tab but on the same window.
In Studio, carts are on a separate window.
So, you'll need a large monitor or dual screens to view Studio and the Carts form together comfortably.
One main player
Similarly, the player has limited controls, and you can’t skip to a specific point in a track. You only get the Play button, Stop, insert, Skip Next, instant stop, and restart.
Will you need StationPlaylist Creator?
It would be convenient and cost-saving to have the Creator as part of Studio such as in RadioDJ where you do everything in the same program.
It was not the case:
However, we found Creator easy to use. It allows you to schedule your music, create rotations & categories, and load them automatically in Studio.
Without Creator, forget about leaving your studio unattended!
And the price?
Playlist Studio offers its programs separately or as software bundles. For instance:
The Super Pro bundle (with Remote Voice Tracking, Studio Pro, Creator Pro, Streamer, Recorded Time & Temperature announcements, Web song requester script, Tone Detection plugin) goes for $699.
Studio Pro will cost you $259 and Creator Pro $259. However, you can buy the standard versions of the two programs at $135 each.
In the Standard version of Studio, you get reduced features. You won’t have the ability to use the auto-speed function, song ramp overlapping, push buttons for carts and hooks.
10. NextKast Pro v5.9.90
- Price:$199
- Built-in Encoder
- Windows
VERDICT
It’s easy to use, has the relevant features, with a well-laid out interface, and built for broadcasters who need to get on the air in as little time as possible.
Pros
Good voice tracking tool.
Setting up rotations is quick.
Built-in encoder.
Short learning curve.
Cleverly positioned sample buttons.
Render rotations to mp3 file format and upload them as podcasts (with built-in uploader)
Cons
- Limited to two main players for your tracks. Some users might need extra aux players.
The intro:
NextKast Pro was created by Winston Potgieter an internet radio broadcaster. It pledges to automate your radio station fully.
Can it do this job to your satisfaction? Let’s find out.
Was it easy to install?
Yeah...installing the program is quick because you won’t need to install a third party database. Note that:
You can either download the Pro Version or Standard Version.
The difference between the two is in the number of features.
In the Standard version, you can only set up 6 encoders instead of 12. And you can not adjust the microphone input settings.
How was the interface?
The interface is highly functional, and you'll find everything quickly.
You have two players for your tracks and a third player in the top toolbar, which plays sweepers as overlays and automated song title announcements.
Below the players, is the categories section. And just below the categories, you have the four tabs; Playlist/Rotation Screen, PlayOut Only, Track List/Add Music and the Playlist Builder/Voice Tracking.
Playlists and rotations you've created remain at the bottom panel.
I liked having the sample buttons on the same window, which made them easy to access.
Importing music was a breeze!
Like in other radio automation programs, you’ll need to import music into the program.
Creating categories is the first step. Then, you add your music from the File Explorer.
NextKast allows to group a new category as Music, Commercial/Talk or Imaging.
Generally, creating categories and adding music was quick and easy.
Building Playlists and voice-tracking was also a joy
You'll use the Play Builder/Voice Tracking tab to build playlists by adding audio items from categories you have created. You can also record voice tracks.
And is this hard to do? Not at all:
You select a category and drag songs to the playlist. To record voice tracks, you choose the song to precede the voice-track and right-click the Play button at the left-bottom of the screen.
The voice track tool will play about 25 seconds of the song. You can start recording immediately by pressing the Record Voice Track button.
After you're done recording, the program will play the last 15 seconds of the song plus your voice track and the next track.
You get a big X button to delete the recording instantly. But, you can’t erase parts of it as you would in RadioBOSS.
Scheduling a playlist
After creating a playlist, the next step is to schedule it. You click schedule from the right-hand bottom corner of the screen, which opens the Rotation Scheduler window.
It displays each day and every hour in a grid plus your rotations and playlists at the top. To schedule, you select a playlist or rotation and left-click inside the hour segment you want it to play.
In summary, the scheduler worked well and was simple to set up.
What about creating rotations?
You'll also find creating and saving rotations to be relatively simple. You just click “New Rotation.”
In the new window, all your categories are displayed. You drag them into the Rotation List to create a new playout pattern.
The rotation duration is also displayed, and you can insert voice-tracks into a rotation using the Playlist/Rotation tab.
And the price?
The Standard Version costs $99, and the Pro Version retails for $199. If you plan to use NextKast in a terrestrial radio station, you have to get the Broadcaster Version at $399.
11. Virtual DJ PRO 2018 V8.3 b4537
- Price: $299
- Built-in Encoder
VERDICT

Some custom skins can support up to 99 decks.
Over 20 sound effects with more available as add-ons.
DJ online tools and content subscription.
Remote control with your tablet or phone.
Free home edition.
Cons
- Compared to other DJ programs, the price might be on the higher end.
The intro:
Virtual DJ is a household name among professional DJs and hobbyists alike. In fact, it has been downloaded over 100 million times.
We gladly reviewed the latest version: Virtual DJ 2018 –which has some new exciting features.
For the sake of new users, let’s start with the basics:
Getting started
When you open the program for the first time, you’ll be asked to log in into your account at virtualdj.com. You can also log in with your Google account, Facebook account or Microsoft ID.
However, having an account at virtualdj.com gives you several perks including access to the community section; access to hundreds of plugins & add-ons and more!
A brilliant user interface
The interface remains unchanged in this version. You get the two classic dual decks. But, you can add up to 6 decks from the top section or switch to tablet mode.
Below the deck is the browser section. It allows you to access all the drives and folders on your computer. You also get a search bar to find your music quickly.
Excellent core features!
The core features in Virtual DJ are audio mixing, video mixing, karaoke, sampler, library, hardware integration, online tools, and record & broadcast.
Let’s review them and talk about the new features:
Elaborate automix feature
In Virtual DJ, you’ll have greater control over your automation thanks to the elaborate automix feature.
It’s located in the side view panel beside the browser. This allows you to drag-and-drop songs to build a playlist quickly.
It also has an options menu with some helpful functions. For instance:
You can change the automix type, enable repeat, instruct the program to remove tracks from the list once they are played or save an automix list as a playlist. What’s more:
The automix editor allows you to edit the whole automation process. It’s similar to using a segue editor.
Support for unlimited samples
The sampler, also located in the side view, can accommodate an unlimited number of samples.
You can use it to play audio FX, instrument sounds, videos, and still images.
Adding a sample is as easy as dragging and dropping it from the browser section.
Record and broadcast in FOUR ways
Virtual DJ allows you to record your video & audio mixes and save them on your computer in any of the following formats; MP3, OGG & FLAC (audio), WEBM & MP4 (video).
The recorder captures sound from the master output. But –did you know that you can record and save voice tracks?
If you have not found the mic, it’s in the master panel right between the decks. Just click ON > REC.
You can adjust the gain on the microphone with the knob and see the strength of the input with the VU meter.
So how do you broadcast?
You can broadcast your mixes in 4 ways as long as you're connected to the internet.
First, you can create a unique link to share your audio with your listeners.
If you have an internet radio station, Virtual DJ has a built-in encoder that can stream audio to a Shoutcast or Icecast radio server. But, you need a PRO license to use it.
Thirdly, you can broadcast your show as a podcast directly to the virtualdj.com servers.
And lastly, you can broadcast video directly to Facebook, YouTube, Periscope, Vimeo, Twitch, Musically, and other social media platforms.
Before Virtual DJ 2018, you had to use a third-party app, which would act as a link between the program and the social apps.
Video mixing with advanced visualization
Virtual DJ allows you to mix videos and add effects & transitions to them. But…
What happens if you’re playing an audio file without a video? No problem…
The program can use 4 other video sources. It can display the album art for that particular track, use your camera or play a slideshow.
That's not all:
One of the most talked about feature in Virtual DJ 2018, is the fourth way to add a video to a track using shaders from a site called Shaderjoy.
There are 8 shaders by default, but you can download more.
The 5 awesome online tools
Virtual DJ has a wide array of online tools such as AskTheDJ, CloudLists, Online Music Categories, GeniusDJ, and LiveFeedback.
AskTheDJ, for instance, allows you to receive requests from your listeners directly in the program.
LiveFeedback recommends a track a few seconds after you start playing a song in one of the decks.
If you want more song recommendations than what LiveFeedback offers, you can use GeniusDJ to find a group of songs played together with a particular song by other DJs.
Online Music is a music subscription service built-into Virtual DJ. It allows you to download thousands of songs and play them even when you’re offline.
Finally, CloudLists are playlists saved online and shared by other users.
Audio mixing with the new Scratch DNA
While Virtual DJ had numerous audio effects, it was missing a way to automate scratch routines. But not anymore:
In Virtual DJ 2018, you can apply predefined scratch effects or create your unique patterns with the DNA Scratch Editor.
With a little practice, you’ll be mixing tracks like a seasoned pro.
And the price?
Currently, the Virtual DJ PRO monthly subscription goes for $19. Alternatively, you can purchase a lifetime license for $299.
If you want a license for a single controller for home use, you can opt for the Virtual DJ Home Plus license at $99.
The audio subscription –which gives you access to thousands of songs – costs $9.99/month. Video subscription costs $49.99 and karaoke $19.99/month.
