The Media Library user interface offers a comprehensive way to manage and organise tracks to be used with AutoDJ, as well as meta data and album covers for individual tracks. Access to this interface is only enabled where AutoDJ is enabled on the service.

FTP access details are also provided on this page if you would prefer to use FTP to manage your stations files. There is a full guide for using FTP in the Audio Broadcaster Guide

Tips & Tricks

• Drag & Drop entire folders from your desktop onto the page to upload multiple files at once. 
• AutoDJ supports AAC & MP3 content
• Click on multiple items to quickly move or delete many tracks.
• You can drag media into folders from the interface, even entire folders into other folders.
• Right click on media tracks or folders for a context menu
• Storage space is a combination from all radio channel within the same account. Content is shared between all your radio stations.

Finding / Searching Content

• The search bar input allows searching of title, artist or album name and is smart enough to find the right content.
• Prefix your search with “title:”, “artist:” or “album:” to search specific data
• Click on an Artist or Album name to quickly find similar content

Meta Data

Track metadata can be edited by clicking on the Edit (Pencil icon) button or right clicking on a track and selecting edit track.

• Upload Cover Albums to designate what is displayed to the user when this track plays
• Configure ISRC code for royalty reporting, which will be displayed in the Reporting tools

The Service Overview page is the heart of your Radio Station, providing vital information to the current operation, and is refreshed automatically every few seconds with updated information.

As soon as AutoDJ goes live, information will start feeding through. When a track changes, you will see this within seconds on the status and recently played tracks widgets. All data on this page is live and updated automatically including listener numbers, bandwidth, storage, the map and listeners over 12 hours.

On Air Widget

This component displays the status of both the service itself, as well as the broadcast. If the broadcast is online then a preview player will be displayed automatically with the ability to play the broadcast, or skip content.

Once a broadcast is connected to the default mountpoint, either by AutoDJ or a direct encoder connection, the Source: button will provide information about the current broadcast. 

The How to Connect dialog will display connection details to the direct Icecast Service if AutoDJ is offline. Once AutoDJ is started, these details will change over with instructions on connecting to the AutoDJ service instead. Please note, it is required to refresh the page after starting AutoDJ in order to display the correct information here.
