1

Upload your music

Drop whole folders. Every song is leveled to the same loudness and gets its cover art.

2

You're on air

That's it. Your library starts playing on shuffle, around the clock. Add shows and a schedule whenever you like.

Share your player

Pick one of 16 player designs, paste one line on your site, or share your station page.

Never dead air

Domino sleeps. Your station doesn't.

CloudRadio always plays the highest source that's on. When a DJ drops, the schedule takes over. When the schedule ends, rotation does. Your whole library is the last safety net. Flip the switches and try to make it go quiet.

How AutoDJ and your DJs share the air

AutoDJ

Smooth like a real DJ.
Even at 4 a.m.

Cue points are found automatically and smart crossfade picks the right transition for each pair of tracks. Every song sits at -14 LUFS, so nothing jumps out.

Night DriveHarbour Lights · -14 LUFS
Static BloomThe Low Frequencies · -14 LUFS
Fade 4.0 s
Now playing Night Drive

The next song comes in on the fade. Quiet intros are never cut.

Loudness levelled, so jingles don't blow out your listeners Optional boost for any tag, up to +6 dB Cue points found for you MP3, AAC, FLAC, WAV, OGG, Opus, AIFF Podcast feeds: only fresh episodes air, with your intro and outro Everything AutoDJ does →

Live DJs

Live shows that start and end on time.

Two live inputs are always open, Studio and Guest. Guest beats Studio, Studio beats the schedule, and when you disconnect AutoDJ picks up where your programming is. You can also book DJs on the schedule: each gets a personal login that works only during their show.

Friday evening on Lakeshore Radio

An example evening

In this example, AutoDJ plays until Maya's booked show starts at 20:00. She connects 5 minutes early for a sound check and goes on air on time. When her internet drops, AutoDJ fills the gap until she reconnects. You go live on the Studio input and a co-host on the Guest input, each taking the air over the show, and Maya is back on air when they stop. At 22:00 her show ends and AutoDJ picks up your programming.

Adaptive HLS

Bad signal? The music keeps playing.

CloudRadio streams with HLS, the technology behind Spotify and Apple Music. When a listener's connection weakens, their player switches to a lighter version of your stream instead of stopping. Follow one listener's drive to work and watch both players.

How it works. Your stream is cut into short chunks of a few seconds, each one ready in three qualities. Before every chunk, the listener's player checks its connection and fetches the best quality it can carry. A mountain lowers the quality for a moment, not the music.

Just tell Puff what you want on air.

Describe the change in plain language. You get a preview, and nothing goes live until you confirm. It knows your city, so "every Sunday at sunrise" just works.
