Note that the topics below are an overview only; the InternetDJ Radio control panel is fully documented and comes with a complete User's Guide which explain in detail each of the features below.

Complete Self-Management :: Easy-to-Use Client Control Panel

The InternetDJ Radio control panel provides an easy-to-use web-based control panel, allowing you to manage your own streaming server account on demand. You have full control to stop and start your server, manage your server configuration, view data transfer and listener reports, review logs, and obtain access to a variety of information and statistics about your streaming servers.

Statistics :: Data Transfer & Listeners

The InternetDJ Radio control panel provides detailed daily and monthly data transfer and listener statistics, complete with graphs, allowing you to track listener trends and resource usage.


Individual stream statistics are provided.

Server-Side Sources (AutoDJ Support):: All-in-One Streaming Radio

In addition to providing total control over your streaming server, the InternetDJ Radio control panel also provides complete server-side source support (also known as "Auto DJ"). Never again will you need to rely on your own PC to broadcast your stream!

You may also upload your media (MP3s, etc.) directly to the server via FTP, manage your media through the InternetDJ Radio control panel's comprehensive AJAX Media Library system (described below), and schedule your media using the InternetDJ Radio control panel's advanced playlist scheduling system (also described below).

This provides a complete, all-in-one solution for setting up an Internet radio station.

AJAX Media Library :: Media Management Simplified

the InternetDJ Radio control panel's AJAX-driven media library system brings the convenience and usability of a desktop media player's song management interface to the web.

The layout of the interface is reminiscent of the media library functionality provided by today's most popular desktop media players. Media can be searched or browsed by artist, album, title, or genre. A track preview feature is also available, which plays a 10-second clip of the selected song(s) to assist in identification.

Once located, tracks can be added to a playlist simply by dragging and dropping them on the desired playlist. Through the use of the InternetDJ Radio control panel's advanced playlist scheduling system (described below), this drag-and-drop functionality can be used to instantly schedule the selected tracks to play at a given time, or on a repeating schedule.

It's difficult to grasp the "cool factor" of this system until you've experienced it firsthand. Please try this direct link to the media library on the public demo site to try this feature yourself!

Playlist Scheduling Features :: Radio Station in a Box

The InternetDJ Radio control panel supports multiple playlists for each stream. Each playlist can be configured individually to control precisely how and when it will be played -- at a specific time, on a repeating schedule, or on a rotation schedule with support for ranking by popularity (known as "weighting").

Four types of playlists are available:

1. General rotation playlists handle the bulk of the media played on your stream. Multiple general rotation playlists can be created, and a different priority or "weight" can be assigned to each playlist to control how often its tracks are played.
   
   
   
   
   Placing your popular tracks (such as new releases) in a playlist with a "heavy" weight will ensure that they are always played more often than your less popular tracks.
   
   
2. Interval playlists play on a recurring basis, either every few minutes, or after every few songs.
   
   
   
   
   Interval playlists are ideal for jingles, station identification, commercial advertisements, promotions, or any other media that you'd like the InternetDJ Radio control panel to automatically play frequently and repeatedly.
   
   
3. Scheduled playlists play on a specific date, at a specific time. They can optionally be configured to repeat every day, week, month, or year on a recurring schedule.
   
   
   
   
   Scheduled playlists are ideal for daily/weekly countdowns, pre-recorded shows, weather forecasts, or any other media that you'd like to have the InternetDJ Radio control panel play automatically at a specific time.
   
   
4. Immediate playlists play immediately when they are activated. They are ideal for spur-of-the-moment playback of tracks such as requested songs or announcements.

Through a combination of the playlist types offered by the InternetDJ Radio control panel, you can achieve total control over your media scheduling, and completely eliminate the need for expensive third-party source software to schedule your tracks.

Stream Start Pages

The InternetDJ Radio control panel provides your stream with its own AJAX-driven start page, which provides a variety of interactive features and information about the stream.


The features of the start page include:

• On-demand content browser. Allows the stream owner to publish a set of tracks for on-demand playback/download by listeners. This is an ideal way to offer podcasts or other freely-distributable media to visitors on an on-demand basis.
• Recent track list. Provides a list of recently-played tracks. If Amazon.com integration enabled, the album cover is displayed along with a link to purchase the album. Purchases are credited to the stream owner's Amazon.com affiliate account, making this an ideal revenue-generation opportunity.
• Song requests. Listeners may submit requests which are E-mailed directly to the stream administrator.
• Tune-in links for common media players. Clicking any of these icons tunes in to the stream using the corresponding media player.
• The current track, and stream status. This is updated in realtime using AJAX technology to ensure that it is always current. Clicking the song title launches the stream.

Each feature offered on the start page is also available as a standalone, AJAX-driven JavaScript widget which you can optionally embed in your page or on your web site.
