DEMO STATION

One of the most common features that we are asked about prior to a new client joining us, is about the features that we offer and what they look like. Included below are just a FEW of the many features included with all of our streaming services. Please note, thate for demo purposes we utilized our Logo for all of the Album Art. In your station, this would be replaced by either art you supply, or art automatically grabbed from LAST.FM, iTunes, etc.

Control Panel Walkthrough

Centova Cast’s AJAX media library brings a familiar, desktop-style media management interface to the web.

Media can be searched or browsed by artist, album, title, or genre. Tracks can be added to a playlist simply by dragging and dropping them on the desired playlist. This drag-and-drop functionality can be used to instantly schedule the selected tracks to play at a given time, or on a repeating schedule.

The Media Control Panel supports multiple playlists for each stream. Each playlist can be configured individually to control precisely how and when it will be played — at a specific time, on a repeating schedule, or on a rotation schedule with support for ranking by popularity (known as “weighting”).

Four types of playlists are available, as described below. Through a combination of the playlist types, you can achieve total control over your media scheduling, and completely eliminate the need for expensive third-party source software to schedule your tracks.

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.

Interval playlists play on a recurring basis, either every few minutes, or after every few songs.

Interval playlists are ideal for jingles, station identification, commercial advertisements, promotions, or any other media that you’d like to automatically play frequently and repeatedly.

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.

Scheduled playlists are ideal for daily/weekly countdowns, pre-recorded shows, weather forecasts, or any other media that you’d like to have Centova Cast play automatically at a specific time.

Immediate playlists play immediately when they are activated (after the current song completes). They are ideal for spur-of-the-moment playback of tracks such as requested songs or announcements.
