Preguntas Frecuentes - Streaming / Online Radio

Question 1

What is the streaming service for online radios?

It's a specialized hosting service that allows you to broadcast live audio over the Internet. We use AzuraCast, a professional platform that includes an Icecast server, web control panel, real-time statistics, and integrated AutoDJ.

Question 2

What do I need to broadcast my online radio?

Accepted Answer

You need: 1) A computer with Windows, macOS or Linux. 2) Stable Internet connection (preferably wired). 3) Microphone, mixer or audio interface (optional for music). 4) Broadcasting software like Mixxx, BUTT or VirtualDJ. We provide you with the server connection details.

Question 3

What connection details do you provide for my radio?

Accepted Answer

We provide: 1) Server / Broadcast URL. 2) Broadcast port. 3) Username (DJ). 4) Password. 5) Streaming type (Icecast). 6) Recommended format and bitrate. With these details you configure your broadcasting software.

Question 4

How do I configure Mixxx to broadcast?

Accepted Answer

1) Open Mixxx and go to **Preferences → Live Broadcasting**. 2) Enter the details we provided: server, port, username and password. 3) Select **Icecast** as the server type. 4) Set the recommended bitrate (e.g., 128 kbps MP3). 5) Save changes. 6) Connect your microphone or mixer, load music and click **Start Broadcast**. If the status shows 'Connected', your radio is on the air.

Question 5

How do I configure BUTT to broadcast?

Accepted Answer

1) Download and install **BUTT** (Broadcast Using This Tool) from its official site. 2) Open BUTT and go to **Settings → Main**. 3) Click **ADD** to add a server. 4) Select **Icecast** and fill in: Server (URL), Port, Password, Mount Point (usually /radio) and Icecast User. 5) In the **Audio** tab, select your input device (microphone or stereo mix). 6) Set the bitrate in **Codec → MP3 → Bitrate**. 7) Click the **Play** button to connect and go on air.

Question 6

What is AutoDJ and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

AutoDJ is a feature that automatically plays music when you're not broadcasting live. You upload your music library to the AzuraCast panel, create playlists and the system keeps your radio on air 24/7. When you connect live from Mixxx, BUTT or other software, AutoDJ automatically stops and hands over to your broadcast. When you disconnect, AutoDJ resumes playback.

Question 7

What are the most common connection errors?

Accepted Answer

The most frequent errors are: 1) **Misspelled password**: check uppercase, lowercase and spaces. 2) **Incorrect port**: make sure you use the broadcast port, not the listening port. 3) **Bitrate not allowed**: use the contracted bitrate (e.g., 128 kbps). 4) **Two simultaneous broadcasts**: only one DJ can be connected at a time. 5) **Unstable Internet connection**: try wired instead of WiFi. If the problem persists, contact us and we'll help.

Question 8

How many simultaneous listeners can I have?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your plan. We offer plans from 25 to 1000+ simultaneous listeners. You can upgrade to a higher plan anytime if your audience grows.

Question 9

What bitrate and format should I use?

Accepted Answer

We recommend **MP3 at 128 kbps** for a good balance between quality and bandwidth consumption. If your audience has good connections, you can use 192 or 256 kbps. For high-fidelity streaming, AAC+ offers better quality at lower bitrates. The bitrate must match what's configured in your plan.

Question 10

How do I embed the player on my website?

Accepted Answer

From the AzuraCast panel you can get an HTML code to embed a player on your website. We also provide the direct stream URL (M3U/PLS format) so you can integrate it into custom players, mobile apps or online radio directories.

Question 11

Can I view listener statistics?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the AzuraCast panel shows you real-time statistics: current listeners, peak listeners, average listening time, approximate geographic location and more. You can also view the history of played songs.

Question 12

Can my listeners tune in from their mobile phones?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the stream is compatible with any device. Your listeners can use the web player, apps like TuneIn, VLC, or any player that supports Icecast streams. You can also create your own mobile app pointing to the stream URL.

Question 13

What software can I use to broadcast?

Accepted Answer

The most popular are: **Mixxx** (free, professional, cross-platform), **BUTT** (free, lightweight, ideal for beginners), **VirtualDJ** (free and paid versions), **SAM Broadcaster** (paid, very complete), and **RadioBOSS** (paid, focused on automation). All are compatible with our Icecast server.
