Let’s face it. DJs can be a tad eccentric. So, if more than one DJ performs on your Internet radio station, you may want to restrict access to the specific times of day each DJ can go on the air. This and several other DJ management tools are made possible through the use of the Centova Cast control panel.
Creating a DJ Account
To create a DJ account in the Centova Cast control panel:
- In the navigation panel at the left-hand side of the screen, click
DJsunder the Configuration heading. - Click the
Create DJ accountlink at the right-hand side of the page. - Enter a username, password, and name for the DJ in the appropriate fields.

Configure privileges for the DJ. A number of privileges are available, and any combination of privileges can be assigned to each DJ:
- Start/stop the stream – Allows the DJ to start or stop the streaming server.
- Start/stop auto DJ – Allows the DJ to start or stop the Auto DJ only.
- Manage playlist settings – Allows the DJ to modify Auto DJ’s playlists.
- Access media library – Allows the DJ to add/remove tracks to/from playlists.
- Manage media files – Allows the DJ to access the file manager and upload, move, rename, and delete the files for your stream.
- Full FTP access – Allows the DJ to log in via FTP and access all the audio files for your stream. It also grants Manage media files permission.

- View listeners – Allows the DJ to view the current listeners for the stream.
