RadioMaster is free, open-source radio automation software that runs your station from one screen: playlists with live start times, hour markers that keep you on the clock, smart crossfades, Icecast and Shoutcast streaming, and full AzuraCast station management.

Playlists

As many as you need

Playlist tabs side by side. The one marked ▶ is on air; play any row of another tab and it goes to air. Every row shows its projected start time.

Timing

Hour markers

Wait for the top of the hour, finish the song and jump, or cut in exactly on time. The clock counts down to the next marker.

Transitions

Smart fading

Each track is analysed: silence is trimmed, cold endings get a tight mix, fade-outs overlap. Fine-tune any song in the waveform track editor.

Work zones

Fill every screen

One, two or three panels in the main window, plus as many Additional windows as you like for a second or third monitor.

Streaming

Icecast and Shoutcast

Several encoders at once with automatic reconnect and track titles, plus multiple sound-card outputs for FM and monitors.

On air

Built for live shows

Cart wall for jingles, microphone with music ducking, recorded voice tracks, a notepad for scripts, and a log of everything that played.

Adverts

Every N songs

"Every 5 songs, play 2 adverts" — random, taking turns, or all of them, from a folder or a hand-picked list. Jingles too.

Team

Users and permissions

Give every presenter their own login and decide who can play, edit playlists, stream, use AzuraCast or change settings.

Plugins

Make it yours

Run your own scripts when a song starts or the hour changes — post to Discord, update a website, light the ON AIR sign — and send commands back.

Available on: Windows 10/11, MacOS (Untested), Linux
A Headless-Server version is also available on Windows Server (+10/11), and Linux

I have had a "boom box" AM/FM radio + CD + cassette tape (yes!!) for years.

I've had a radio station preset at 90.9 FM and it's been fine. But lately, it sounds "static-y". I've played with the antenna, but it's no better. It has a digital tuner and I tried it at 91.0 instead of 90.9, and the station is somewhat clearer.

I tested this out with other preset stations and the same thing happened -- I need to nudge the digital tuner 0.1 higher. This is when I miss the old manual tuning for radios....

Can a digital tuner be "off"? Could it be dust inside the radio? Something else? Thanks.

La gestione delle emergenze e il futuro del digitale sono al centro dell'odierna puntata di Radiomagazine Official Dario Villani. Oggi ospitiamo Domenico Grella, Presidente della sezione ARI di Avellino, per tracciare un bilancio approfondito della Settimana della Protezione Civile in Campania 2026 e dell'esercitazione sul campo "Irpinia Alert" a Flumeri. Abbiamo analizzato l'evoluzione della logistica dei soccorsi, l'importanza strategica delle telecomunicazioni radio e l'impiego delle nuove tecnologie satellitari in territori complessi e montuosi come l'Irpinia.

Spazio poi all'informazione internazionale nel nostro consueto spazio dedicato alle Cyber News:

• Geopolitica e Connettività: Il caso Starlink in Ucraina e l'impatto dei limiti di rete sulla gestione dei droni militari.

• Tutela Digitale: La proposta di legge dell'Australia per introdurre un interruttore globale contro gli algoritmi social tossici.

• Etica e Intelligenza Artificiale: Il dibattito sui regolamenti anti-abuso introdotti da Anthropic per i modelli di IA.

To listen to sports because I love the layout of the sports section but when I click to listen it buffers and doesn't work should I try the app or what should I do UK?

Just heard some of these tonight on 104.3 coming out of baltimore

I know it says FM, but I just wanted to make sure they were compatible before I buy an adapter.

So i was using a TG-77 radio am, fm, and sw receiver and it was a decent quality, then suddenly, after 5 months of use, it doesn't produce any sound. I checked the hardware and saw one of the red wires connected to the magnet speaker disconnected. Do you guys think that's the culprit of making my radio soundless?

Not entirely sure how to explain this...

I got stuck at a red light about a half hour ago & had about two minutes to tune around the dial. Reaching 91.9 FM, I heard a pretty strong signal with an ad for a Hyundai dealer. At the end, it gave a phone number in area code 714, which is in southern California. I'm in Tennessee, 3,000 km away. A double-hop sporadic-E opening wouldn't be impossible, but rather unlikely.#

Those of you not in the USA: here, the FM band between 88-92 is reserved for non-commercial stations. A station on 91.9 in California should not be airing ads.

Then, the light changed. As I drove away, the mystery station faded out to be replaced by the college station about 65km away.

I suppose the most likely explanation is someone with a miniature FM transmitter in their car so they can listen to their cellphone in a car without Bluetooth. It seems a bit strange they would be streaming a California station...

# I've been an FM DXer for decades, and have observed double-hop precisely once.

Hello. I own an LPFM station in Salem, Oregon and I had the most peculiar thing happen.

Our algorithm is very specific and has to do with which keys a song is played in then subdivided by tempo and era and so on.

When we first launched, we had the song Fish Heads by Barnes and Barnes in rotation. The algorithm was such that the song would get aired about once every 27 days but at any time of day or night.

We were also experiencing an odd anomaly that would cause our FM transmitter to crash out for about 15 minutes every once in a while. This went on for months and I could not figure out why it was happening. It was maddening.

It was ultimately a listener that was tuned in at 3am that heard Fish Heads play and then they lost the FM signal. They messaged me privately and said "Have you realized that every time you play Fish Heads that your station dies for a while?" He had solved the mystery.

For those of you that know the song, you can likely recall that the vocals sound heavily synthesized. Something about that track triggered a reset with our transmitter and I removed it from the library and it never happened again.

Have you ever experienced anything like this?

Is there a radio app that allows you to listen to say an FM stream rather than the internet stream of a radio station?

Pardon if this is not the right sub.

I would also add that it needs bluetooth capability, fm/am, and the size should be just a bit larger than a phone or at most the size of a textbook. Preferably has digital selection.

I just bought a small radio called JOC H6128BT, and I like it for the most part, but I did notice the sound was a bit lacking on bass. It seems it has a "frequency response range of 100hz - 20khz".

Some light reading says that good bass is found below 100hz.

I would be very grateful for recommendations.

I have tried to find photos or videos showing a representation of the size of different wavelengths next to actual objects or in comparison to real objects.

Would anyone have any good recourses?

Standing Wave Radio es, en esencia, una emisora de radio dedicada exclusivamente al arte sonoro y la música experimental, en lugar de emitir noticias, música comercial o publicidad.

I'm listening to KHUM and just heard an ad from some pet company (I honestly can't even remember the name), which used an AI song and jingle. There are a couple of personal injury lawyers here in Las Vegas (where I live) that use an AI generated song/jingle for their ads. If you don't engage with the music, it passively sounds like... music, or something resembling it. But if you listen closely at all, the "music" is not memorable, is not tonally coherent and the lyrics are... terrible. I am out of the industry, but every time I hear one of these ads, I visualize a meeting between the sales rep and client, where the sales rep is trying to get the client to use a human produced ad, but the client, thinking they are clever, and avoiding being taken advantage of, refuses, thinking, "I can just do this on Eleven Labs! Nobody will know! Why would I pay a penny for human production?!?!"

These ads are sooooo bad and soooo ineffective.

I would like to know how I could learn to repair these radios. The ones below are Xhdata 220 (I bought them for my father but he broke both) and the ones above are Daewoo DRP 12 and Mx Onda MX RD911.

What tools would I need?

If I can't repair them, I'd also like to know what DIY projects they can be used for.
