Common questions, clearly answered
What software can I use to broadcast?
Any encoder that supports Icecast or SHOUTcast-style source connections should work, including SAM Broadcaster, StationPlaylist, RadioDJ, Mixxx, BUTT, and many hardware encoders.
Does hosting include music licensing?
No. Unless a plan specifically states otherwise, customers are responsible for performance, recording, and other licenses required in their country and for their programming.
How does the Free plan work?
The Free plan is intended to operate through a RadioStreamServer-branded player page. Paid plans unlock broader direct-stream use and remove free-plan advertising restrictions.
Will this work with Centova Cast?
Yes. The portal architecture is intended to connect with Centova Cast through its server-side API. Automatic provisioning requires the Centova adapter and credentials to be configured.
Can I broadcast live and use AutoDJ?
Yes. AutoDJ can keep programming online, while compatible source takeover lets a live encoder connect for scheduled shows.
