Upload a music library and you're on air the same day. Add rotation playlists when you want more control. Add a schedule when you want timed shows. Plug in SAM Broadcaster or any encoder when you want to go live. Every layer is optional. CloudRadio plays the highest available.
Drag-and-drop MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG. We read the ID3 tags, cache the cover art, and run basic loudness normalization so tracks sit at a consistent volume. Reuse your existing library, no re-tagging.
Five priority layers, top to bottom. The highest one with audio wins. Use one, use all, mix freely. CloudRadio handles the fallback for you.
Running a fully automated station? Skip this whole section. AutoDJ handles the full 24/7 on its own.
A second live slot so a co-host or invited DJ can take over for an hour without kicking you offline. When they disconnect, your Studio feed is right there waiting.
Broadcast live from your own software, SAM Broadcaster, BUTT, Mixxx, RadioBOSS, Virtual DJ, OBS, or any Icecast/Shoutcast source. Keep the workflow you already know. Go on air the moment you connect.
For the programmer. Run specific shows at specific hours: morning show, drivetime, weekend specials. You don't need to fill the whole week. Empty slots fall through to rotation automatically, so partial schedules just work.
For the CentovaCast veteran. The familiar rotation model: A-list, B-list, jingles, sweepers, each with a weight. More control than random without the work of a full schedule.
Upload and be live. AutoDJ shuffles your whole library forever. Perfect as a simple music-only station, or as your emergency fallback when your studio unexpectedly drops and nothing is scheduled. You never go dark.
Smart fallback, built in. The highest layer with audio wins. No live show? The schedule plays. Empty schedule slot? Rotation plays. Empty rotation? Your library plays. You never need to fill every hour manually.
Already broadcasting with SAM Broadcaster, BUTT, Mixxx, RadioBOSS, Virtual DJ, OBS, or a hardware encoder? Keep using it. Point it at your Studio input, hit connect, and you're live. AutoDJ steps aside. Disconnect and AutoDJ resumes where the schedule left off.
Need a co-host for an hour? They connect to the separate Guest input. Your Studio stream keeps running underneath, so when they hop off, you're right back on air without a beat of silence.
Running fully automated? Skip this step entirely. Most of our stations do.
Point any Icecast or Shoutcast-compatible encoder at your CloudRadio Studio input. Already using SAM Broadcaster? Keep it. Just change the server address.
Every plan includes the ways to reach listeners from your own site, apps, and third-party directories.
Six themes, responsive, live album art and now-playing. One snippet drops onto any page (WordPress, Squarespace, plain HTML, you name it).
A public URL with your station's now-playing, history, and schedule. Share it on social, no website required.
HLS, Icecast MP3, M3U and PLS files for VLC, car stereos, TuneIn, Radio Garden, and any third-party directory that accepts a stream URL.
Some platforms push you toward scheduled playlists for every hour of the week. With CloudRadio, scheduling is one option among three. Empty slots fall through to rotation or library automatically.
If you came from CentovaCast, the weighted rotation will feel familiar. We just run the server, keep it patched, and include an HLS CDN so mobile listeners stop buffering.
No per-listener bills, no Liquidsoap config, no TLS renewals at 3am. Everything you need: $39/month. If you grow, you don't pay more.
Connect SAM at 8pm for your live show. AutoDJ pauses, your stream takes over. At 10pm you disconnect. The "Late Night Chill" playlist (scheduled for 10pm-midnight) resumes. At midnight the schedule ends and weighted rotation carries on till morning.
Upload 800 tracks of acoustic chill. No schedule, no rotation, no live. Random library plays forever. The cafe just needs a URL on the speakers. Zero ongoing work.
Have your studio connected 24/7 playing the house mix. When a volunteer DJ wants to do a guest show, they connect to the Guest input, take over the stream, and when they disconnect your studio feed comes right back, no dead air.
Bring SAM Broadcaster, bring your playlists, bring your listeners, or start from scratch with an uploaded library. $39/month, unlimited listeners, HLS CDN, everything included.
