Common questions

Internet radio hosting FAQ

What is AutoDJ and does it run when my computer is off?

AutoDJ plays uploaded music and programming directly from the RCAST cloud platform. Your schedules continue running 24/7 without keeping your computer or encoder connected.

What is AutoDJ Studio Console?

AutoDJ Studio Console is our exclusive browser-based live workspace for cloud playout. Search your media library, put any track on air next, drag and reorder the active queue, manage listener requests and follow recent history without routing audio through your computer. It is included with every current streaming plan.

Should I choose Live or AutoDJ hosting?

Choose Live hosting when presenters broadcast most shows from an encoder or studio and need AutoDJ fallback. Choose AutoDJ hosting when uploaded media, playlists and schedules provide most of your station's programming.

Do you support both SHOUTcast and Icecast?

Yes. RCAST provides Icecast2 and SHOUTcast v1 and v2 streaming servers, so you can choose the platform that suits your station.

Can I broadcast live if I use AutoDJ?

Yes. AutoDJ keeps your station running from the cloud, and you can connect from your computer to broadcast live when needed.

Which audio formats can I use with AutoDJ?

AutoDJ plans support MP3, AAC-LC (AAC) and HE-AAC (AAC+) workflows, with available quality up to 320 kbps depending on the selected plan.

How many simultaneous listeners can my station have?

Live Basic supports 100 listeners, Live Plus supports 200, while Live Premium, Live Ultimate and every AutoDJ plan include unlimited listeners subject to the service terms.

Is secure HTTPS streaming included?

Yes. Every streaming service includes a secure HTTPS stream URL for modern browsers, supported players and websites that require SSL.

What does unmetered bandwidth mean?

There is no fixed monthly transfer allowance or per-gigabyte bandwidth charge. Bandwidth is provided under a fair-use policy; if sustained usage affects shared infrastructure, RCAST will contact you to discuss the appropriate option.

Are Live and AutoDJ services protected against DDoS attacks?

Yes. All RCAST streaming services run on robust network infrastructure with effective Anti-DDoS protection designed to detect and mitigate malicious traffic while keeping legitimate listeners connected.

What control and analytics are included?

The browser-based control panel provides listener information, station activity and bandwidth statistics. AutoDJ services also include playlists, scheduling, listener requests and the AutoDJ Studio Console for live queue control.

Can I save by paying for a longer period?

Yes. Eligible RCAST plans offer savings for yearly, biennial and triennial billing. Full prices and terms are displayed during ordering.
