Nearest-server delivery, five cities

Each listener, and your encoder, reaches whichever of our servers is nearest: New York, Miami, San Francisco, Amsterdam or Bucharest.

Stations start sooner and buffer less wherever your audience is: Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, North Africa, West Asia.

  • 5,000 listeners at up to 320 kbps
  • 3 streams, so phones get a lighter bitrate
  • AutoDJ with a 100 GB music library
  • Even loudness, cue points, weighted rotation and song requests
  • 20 DJs, voice tracking and a backup source
  • Audience reports and exports, kept 90 days
  • Priority help, with your first clock built by us

Prices in US dollars. Every station broadcasts over HTTPS from our own network; on Platinum, listeners tune in from the nearest of five cities.

Built for broadcasters

What your station gets

An HTTPS stream

Browsers refuse to play insecure audio on secure pages. Your stream is served over HTTPS, so the player works on your website, in apps and in directories.

Live DJs from anywhere

Connect BUTT, Mixxx, SAM Broadcaster or RadioBOSS and you are live. DJs can take turns without sharing one computer.

AutoDJ that never sleeps

On paid plans, upload your music and AutoDJ plays it around the clock, stepping aside the moment a live DJ connects.

Listener statistics

See who is tuned in right now and your peaks; paid plans add show-by-show audience figures, kept 30 or 90 days.

Icecast or SHOUTcast

Your station starts on Icecast, and one switch in the control panel moves it to SHOUTcast DNAS 2.6, with a listing in the SHOUTcast Directory.

Help in seconds

Stuck on an encoder setting at midnight? Chat answers right away, and a person takes over whenever you ask.

Platinum · nearest server

Every listener on the nearest server, wherever they are

Your station is hosted in New York or Bucharest. On the Platinum plan, our global delivery network serves every listener from whichever of five cities is nearest, and your encoder connects to the nearest one as well.

  • One listen link. Each listener is sent to our server nearest their network, which holds a single feed of your station for all its listeners there.
  • Your encoder, nearest server. It connects close by, and that server forwards the broadcast to your station; passwords, AutoDJ and DJ slots behave as before.
  • A failed server is skipped. Every server is checked every 10 seconds; after 2 failed checks in a row, new listeners go to the next nearest.
  • Counted once. Every listener shows up once in your statistics, whichever city they tuned in from.

Platinum stations find the nearest-server listen link and encoder settings in the control panel's Radio section. On Free and Premium, listeners and encoders connect to the server your station is hosted on. Links and encoder settings already in use stay valid on all plans.

  • New York, Bucharest: stations are hosted here; listeners and encoders connect here too
  • San Francisco, Miami, Amsterdam: listeners and encoders connect here

Questions people ask

What does the $5 setup fee on the free plan pay for?
It covers creating your station and keeps the free plan free of abuse. It is charged once; the free plan itself costs nothing.
How many listeners can I have?
Free carries 1,000 listeners at once, Premium 2,500 and Platinum 5,000. Premium and Platinum include 500,000 and 1.5 million listener hours a month.
What is the difference between 32, 128 and 320 kbps?
The bitrate is how much detail your audio keeps. 32 kbps suits talk radio; 128 kbps sounds good for music on any device; 320 kbps is the most a stream carries, for studio-grade sound. Platinum also runs 3 streams, so phones can take a lighter one.
Can I broadcast live and use AutoDJ?
Yes, on Premium and Platinum. AutoDJ plays your library and steps aside when a live DJ connects, then resumes when they disconnect.
Where do my listeners connect from?
On Platinum, from the nearest of our five cities: San Francisco, Miami, New York, Amsterdam, Bucharest. Your encoder can connect to the nearest one too. On Free and Premium, listeners and encoders connect to the server your station is hosted on.
Can I move my station here from another host?
Yes. Point your encoder at your new address, upload your music to AutoDJ, and update your player link. Our chat will walk you through it.
