SHOUTcast DJ Switching

24 Jan 2012 | 8 Comments | posted by James M | in Product News

Cloud DJ has 2 exciting new features now available, the ability to switch to a live DJ from the Auto DJ mode without dropping listener connections is now possible! You connect just the same as connecting to any SHOUTcast server.

After weeks of testing and development, this feature is available to existing Cloud DJ customers at no extra cost and with immediate availability. Just enable the live feature in the new Cloud DJ App section to get started.

This brings additional benefits to most live/automated radio stations:

  1. Firstly, you can connect live and your listeners will hear a smooth crossfade between the automated and live content
  2. Cloud DJ never disconnects from SHOUTcast, so your listeners will stay connected!
  3. If your internet connection drops, Cloud DJ will simply resume playing its autodj content – no need to worry!
  4. When you want to stop broadcasting, again listeners will simply hear a fade back to the automated output.

To find out more about how switching works, take a look at the following video…
