Frequently Asked Questions
Auto Playlist (2 Sample Tracks)
+This is an example of a simple playlist generated automatically by using two local tracks. It allows you to create an AutoDJ, it is to show playlist and AutoDJ features and learning purposes. Do not upload your mp3 files into this playlist, they will be deleted if you save the AutoDJ with the Auto playlist active option as it is just an example playlist. Create your own playlists instead.
Shoutcast v2.6 Limitations
+The free version of Shoutcast v2.6 is limited to 128kbps MP3 encoder only. Using AAC encoder or higher bitrate than 128kbps on ShoutCast v2.6 will result in sound cuts, affecting both AutoDJ and Live Stream. If you have a premium service from the Shoutcast company, add your User ID and License ID on the SonicPanel for AAC stream or prefer ShoutCast v2.5.
AutoDJ Interruption Settings
+AutoDJ interruption option changes the behavior of "scheduled playlists", "play on stream now button" on the playlist manager page, and "change playlist (on air)" features. If the interruption setting is enabled, the AutoDJ will not wait for the currently playing song to end (which is default on SonicPanel) and it will fade the playing song immediately to play the scheduled playlist or other actions.
If the interruption setting is disabled, the AutoDJ will wait for the current playing song to end and then it will play the scheduled playlists or other actions.
To change the AutoDJ Interruption Settings, use the AutoDJ Interruption Settings link on your SonicPanel left menu.
