**Questions on getting started**

What is AutoDJ?

AutoDJ is software that allows you to upload mp3 files to your server, which in turn lets your radio broadcast 24/7 without the need to have your computer running 24/7.

How do I start using AutoDJ?

Log into your CP using your admin username & password.  Click AutoDJ Control (from overview)  upload 1 or more mp3 files once the uploads finish, drag & drop at least 1 file into a general rotation playlist.

Now you have files in a playlist start the server if it’s not already running. Your station should start streaming whatever files you placed in the playlist, from there you can add more files and create more playlists, your listeners can now hear your broadcast.

How do I stream from a Live source instead of AutoDJ?

To override the AutoDJ with a live source go to your computer and start your automation software (Sam Broadcaster, RadioBoss, BUTT etc.) start your music and then start your encoder whatever is playing in the player will fade into your stream while the AutoDJ automatically pauses in the background. When you are finished and stop your encoder the AutoDJ will fade back in picking up where it left off.
