Audience
Internet radio operators and broadcasters wanting to self-host and manage stations, playlists, streams, users, and analytics from a web interface
About AzuraCast
AzuraCast is a free and open source self-hosted web radio management suite, a complete “web radio station in a box.” Its easy installer provides everything needed to launch a station in minutes on any server or desktop that supports Docker, while an intuitive web interface lets users manage every aspect of broadcasting from a browser. Upload and organize media, edit metadata, preview tracks, create standard-rotation or scheduled playlists, configure local mount points and remote relays, and use the built-in AutoDJ to compose a continuous stream. Individual DJ and streamer accounts support live broadcasting, and the Web DJ tool lets presenters go live directly from a browser without additional software. Each station includes a public-facing player page that can be embedded into an existing website, along with listener song requests, rich metadata, webhooks, and APIs for custom players and complete station management.

StationPlaylist Studio
Studio is our on-air broadcast playout software for the studio, providing useful features for assisting the DJ during live shows, and for unattended automation with our StationPlaylist creator track scheduler.

A demo playlist for Studio is available on the download page to show off some of Studio's abilities.
