Centova Cast version 3 is one of the very latest and advanced web based streaming control panel + automatic DJ system in the industry. The Centova v3 panel supports and controls SHOUTcast v1, SHOUTcast v2 and Icecast servers, and includes the latest in features such as automated song requests, dj manager with automated switching from auto dj to live broadcast (xFade) and more.
Centova v3 DJ Manager: This system works with both the older SHOUTcast DNAS and the new v2 SHOUTcast - you can manage all your dj's and have complete control over their actions on your server. No need to install special scripts, no configuration required, Have all your dj's set up and scheduled in no time! General Rotation Playlists handle the bulk of the media played on your stream. By creating multiple general rotation playlists with different "weights", you can ensure that popular tracks (such as new releases) are always played more often than your less popular tracks. Scheduled playlists play on a specific date, at a specific time, and can be configured to repeat every day, week, month, or year on a recurring schedule.
The new DJ Manager allows you to create a unique username and password for each of your dj's. There are 2 different ways your dj's can use their dj account,
- The dj will use their login details to connect to your server in their live source software (i.e. Sam Broadcaster, WinAmp Broadcaster, Virtual DJ, Nicecast, etc.). This is, by far the most popular feature with Centova v3, even though the server is SHOUTcast v2, dj's are able to connect using either SHOUTcast v1 or SHOUTcast v2 method, this comes in handy for dj's that do not yet have SHOUTcast v2 comparable software.
- The dj can also use the same username and password you create for them to login to your Centova v3 control panel. You choose what the dj can do and when they can do it!
Set your radio station up using Centova Control panel smart playlist manager. Schedule Station ID drops, commercials, even specific song types during a given time frame.
We offer free widgets that can be used in your personal website. Examples are: Media Player, Song Request Form, Statistics and more.
Shoutcast v2 does require a MP3 unlock that can be purchased from us. This requirement is not ours but one issued by Centova and Shoutcast.
