Gone are the days of chaotic DJ handovers and conflicting live streams. MediaCP puts you in complete control of who broadcasts when, giving your radio station the professional edge it needs to compete in today’s crowded audio landscape. Busy radio setups often suffer from the same problems: DJs accidentally broadcasting over each other, unauthorized access during off-hours, and no clear way to manage multiple personalities with different show times. MediaCP’s DJ Manager solves these headaches with intelligent priority systems and granular scheduling controls that put station managers back in charge.

Why use MediaCP’s DJ Manager?

DJ Manager creates individual broadcasting accounts for each of your on-air personalities, complete with private credentials and customizable access controls. Each DJ connects through their own dedicated mount point using the industry-standard Icecast 2 Protocol, ensuring crystal-clear separation between different shows and personalities.

Key capabilities:

• Priority-Based Broadcasting: Higher-priority DJs automatically interrupt lower-priority streams, ensuring your prime-time hosts never get blocked by overnight shows
• Scheduled Access Control: Lock down broadcasting to specific time slots, preventing unauthorized streams during closed hours
• Automatic Disconnect: When a scheduled DJ’s timeslot ends automatically disconnect the DJ from the stream.
• Individual Mount Points: Each DJ gets their own unique connection endpoint (like /morningshow or /eveningjazz) for seamless transitions
• Real-Time Management: Enable or disable DJ accounts instantly from your control panel

Real-World Broadcasting Scenarios

Morning Show Takeover: Your 6 AM morning show host arrives early and connects instantly, automatically bumping the overnight automation without any technical intervention needed.

Emergency Override: Breaking news requires immediate attention, your news director can connect with maximum priority and instantly take over the airwaves from any current broadcaster.

Scheduled Access: Weekend specialty shows are locked to their time slots, preventing accidental broadcasts during weekday programming blocks.

We introduce 3 different types of playlists including General Rotations, Scheduled and Interval Playlists. Transitioning between playlists is handled smoothly without a restart of the AutoDJ service, and does not interrupt the currently playing song.

General Rotations

The updated AutoDJ Manager introduces the concept of General Rotations, which replaces the original ‘single playlist’ approach with multiple weighted playlists that will play your songs when no other playlist is scheduled.

Scheduled Playlists

The original ‘Playlist Scheduler’ is now removed from Shoutcast & Icecast services and instead replaced by new functionality within the ‘AutoDJ Control’ feature. The feature we believe our customers will mostly look forward to here is that Scheduled Playlists no longer restart the AutoDJ service, or interupt the currently playing song. Once the scheduled playlist has completed, it will return to the General Rotations.

Interval Playlists

An interval playlist can be played every X songs or X minutes; and can also be configured to interrupt existing Scheduled Playlists, or not interupt Scheduled playlists.
