Download PlayIt Live
PlayIt Live is a radio playout engine for live and automated broadcasting. It supports WAV, MP3, WMA, and MP4 files with silence trimming and multi-output routing. The scheduler fits tracks to fixed time markers and handles adverts with rotation rules. Remote presenters connect through a browser-based interface for live shows. Voice tracking allows pre-recorded segments between songs. Priority streams interrupt automation for external live feeds.
PlayIt Live manages playlists, clocks, and rotations for radio stations. The software includes dayparting controls that limit track play by hour and day. Log merging imports external traffic or syndication logs automatically. Hook sequences create short teaser mixes from track intros. GPIO support connects hardware buttons and switchers to playback functions. Partial clocks reuse schedule segments across multiple programming blocks.
PlayIt Live provides a broadcast automation environment for live assist and full automation. It handles advert insertion, time fitting, and voice track recording. The play history grid tracks every aired song for compliance review. Track set separation prevents artist or album repetition. The remote studio module mirrors the main interface in a web browser for off-site presenters. Multiple instances synchronize data over a local network.
