More features worth mentioning:
Remote Management

Broadcast from anywhere.

Airtime allows you to control your radio station and scheduled playout over the internet through any web browser. Manage your audio archive, upload files, construct playlists, create shows, edit the Programme Calendar, and cue playout. All through the web.

Auto Import

Archive management made easy.

Set any number of directories to be watched by Airtime and any new files you add will be automatically imported into Airtime, and any deleted files will be automatically removed. Archive management just got simpler, quicker and more efficient.

Precision Play

Super-sonic performance.

Sometimes the best things remain invisible. Airtime uses Liquidsoap meaning greater stability plus crossfading, fade in and out and the ability to set cue in and cue out points within individual files, all with sub-second precision. It will mean a lot more in the near future too, regarding new streaming and auto-archiving features.

Magic File Sync

Watch and learn.

Airtime stores files in an easy-to-search directory, allowing producers and presenters to find and edit audio ready for broadcast. Edits to files in selected watch folders are automatically noticed by Airtime. If you edit any files on disk, such as trimming the length of a track, Airtime will automatically adjust the playlist lengths and shows for that audio file.


Record and Rebroadcast

Automatically record shows and then rebroadcast them later.

New, community-requested feature! Record any show and then automatically set a date and time for up to ten rebroadcasts. Goodnight graveyard shift! (Not yet available for Pro)
