Internet and professional radio broadcasters seeking to capture, process, encode, and stream live audio to online radio servers
About Rocket Broadcaster
Rocket Broadcaster is a Windows audio encoder for broadcasting to Internet radio stations through Icecast, Icecast-KH, SHOUTcast 1 and 2, RSAS, and compatible streaming services. It captures microphone or line-in audio and sound from other applications, including automation software, media players, and interview tools, then mixes those sources for a seamless live program. One audio input can be sent to multiple servers or encoded in different profiles for mobile, high-quality, or network-specific streams. Supported formats include MP3, AAC, AAC+, HE-AAC v1, Ogg Vorbis, Ogg Opus, and lossless Ogg FLAC, with presets for common configurations and customizable encoder settings. The built-in Broadcast Audio Processor shapes a station’s sound with multiband compression, automatic gain control, limiting, and ITU BS.1770 loudness metering while keeping CPU use and latency low.

yStream Studio
yStream Studio is radio automation software for Windows that runs a station from one PC. It programs the hour itself: every candidate song is scored on key, tempo, energy, era and genre, with artist and title separation, so each hour is an authored timeline, not a playlist on a timer. Every segue is a sample-accurate crossfade cut on analysed cue points. Broadcast mastering (StereoTool) is built in on Pro and above, with an AI DJ that names the songs, reads the time, weather and news and handles the top of the hour, in your own cloned voice or a cloud voice. Five encoders run at once: MP3, AAC, Vorbis and Opus to Icecast, SHOUTcast, HLS or file. Plus LUFS analysis and level matching, royalty and play-log CSVs, listener stats, a request line and voice tracking. It does not generate music, it plays your own licensed library; the AI DJ can run entirely on your PC with no cloud service; and the licence check can never stop the audio. One-time licence, two activations, 30-day money

SAM Broadcaster Pro
SAM Broadcaster Pro is a professional Internet radio broadcasting solution for Windows, designed to handle live streaming, track playback, voice tracking, stream encoding, statistics relaying, and output automation from one configurable workspace. It helps broadcasters organize large music libraries into multiple categories, import information from file tags, and automatically look up track details. Dual Deck players let users queue and position the next song while another is playing, or hand control to Auto DJ so the station can continue running 24/7 without an operator present. Its smart crossfader detects the best point to begin fading between tracks, while manual cue points provide more precise control and the Gap Killer prevents unwanted silence. Advanced audio processing includes an equalizer, gated AGC, stereo expander, bass EQ, five-band and two-band processors, and a clipper, with a compressor, expander, and limiter available for each multiband section.
