What RadioDJ is

RadioDJ is free radio automation software for Windows 10 and 11. Its Auto DJ builds continuous playlists using category, subcategory, and genre rotation rules for unattended 24/7 operation. A scheduler handles radio shows, advertisements, and other events, with multiple actions attached to each task. Playout tools include custom song and jingle rotations, cue points, adjustable fades, and manual or automatic playlist advancement. Supported formats include MP3, WAV, WMA, FLAC, and others, with add-ons providing additional formats. RadioDJ works with MySQL and MariaDB databases, and its features page recommends MariaDB. It does not stream directly to Shoutcast or Icecast; third-party encoders are recommended. Listed integrations include podcast support, HTTP stream relaying, and plugins for encoding and now-playing exports. Version 2 and later require a 1 GHz CPU, 8 GB RAM, and Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8. Commercial station use is permitted.
