❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a streaming server to use AIRadio.Host?

+

Yes, you need your own streaming server (Icecast or Shoutcast) to broadcast online. AIRadio.Host is the automation software that sends audio to your streaming server. We provide guides for setting up free and paid streaming options.

What audio formats does AIRadio.Host support?

+

AIRadio.Host currently supports MP3 files only. We recommend using 128-320 kbps bitrate for optimal quality and compatibility. Files should be properly tagged with artist and title information.

Can I run multiple stations with one installation?

+

Yes! You can run multiple instances of AIRadio.Host, each with its own configuration file. Each instance needs its own mount point on your streaming server. Check our Multi-Station Setup guide for detailed instructions.

Do I need music licenses to broadcast?

+

Yes, you are 100% responsible for obtaining proper music licenses in your jurisdiction. This typically includes performance rights from organizations like ASCAP, BMI, SESAC (USA), PRS/PPL (UK), or your local PRO. Alternatively, you can use royalty-free music.

How do I create AI voice announcements?

+

We recommend services like ElevenLabs or Microsoft Azure TTS. Simply type your script, generate the audio, download as MP3, and place in your voiceover folder. Our guide includes sample scripts and best practices for natural-sounding announcements.
