You must enable AutoDJ (if not already) before following the below steps. Login to CentovaCast and go to 'Configure Server', select the AutoDJ Tab and ensure AutoDJ Status is set to Enabled.
If AutoDJ is not already set to enabled and the stream is started, you will need to stop the stream before being able to enable AutoDJ.
1. Once AutoDJ is enabled, you'll need to add at least two tracks to AutoDJ to be able to start your server.
2. Login to the FTP server. Your username and FTP host is shown on the 'Quick Links' page. The password is your Administrator Password set in CentovaCast.
3. Upon logging in, you should see a "media" directory. Open the "media" directory and upload your media files (MP3 only) into this directory.
4. Once your media files have been uploaded, login to CentovaCast, click "Manage Playlists", and then click "Update Media Library". This will allow CentovaCast to import all of your new media files, and retrieve the necessary song covers.
5. You can then go to 'Media Library' and drag MP3s from the media library into individual playlists (Standard rotation is the default playlist). You can set up new playlists on the "Manage Playlists" page.
6. Once finished you need to click onto any playlist names you've updated and press Save for each one.
7. You can now start your server and AutoDJ should be playing.
Remember to run the Media Update as in step 3 whenever you add or delete MP3s in FTP.
