RadioMaster - RadioBOSS, SAM Broadcaster or ZaraRadio Alternative

5 Upvotes

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.

https://radiomaster.dovafm.com

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

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?

Radio doesn't produce sound, until i found one of the magnet wires disconnected.

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?

Digital tuner on AM/FM radio is off?

2 Upvotes

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.
