About LibreTime

LibreTime is a self-hosted radio broadcast and automation platform. You import music, sweepers and full-length programs into its library, then schedule shows and podcasts to play automatically.

It can send audio to a broadcasting console or transmitter for AM and FM stations, or run an internet radio station directly from a server. Documentation covers administration, daily use and development, and the project is on its 4.x release series. It suits community and small stations that want to run their own playout system.

Strengths

  • Automatic scheduling of shows and podcasts
  • Playout to a transmitter or as an internet stream
  • Library management for music and station audio
  • Separate admin, user and developer manuals

Limitations

  • Requires running and maintaining your own server
