What PlayIt Live is

PlayIt Live is a live-assist and automated radio playout system from PlayIt Software in Cambridge, England. It provides free core functionality for playing WAV, MP3 and MP4 audio, with clock scheduling, fixed time markers, monitored folders, remote URLs, scheduled events and keyboard shortcuts. Players can route sound to individual outputs, including ASIO devices. The system can stream its output online and send live track metadata to a website, stream and RDS. Presenters can use the Remote Management module through a Chrome-based browser to access the interface, hear studio audio and send microphone audio. That module also includes an HTTP API for playout, players, logs and track information. Advanced Scheduling adds advert scheduling, priority streams, dayparting, log merging and automatic time-marker adjustment. GPIO integrations support Broadcast Tools, X-keys and serial or USB studio hardware. Free functionality costs nothing; premium modules include 30.00 USD monthly options and a 75.00 USD monthly bundle.
