Community radio on autopilot.
Automated Radio – The community-radio software suite that plans, plays and archives your programme.

Your whole station. One browser tab.
Manage shows, prepare episodes, plan your programme — With the Dashboard, all in one place.


Made for many voices.
Community radios need community features — AURA is built for collaboration.

Dead air? Not with AURA Playout.
Silence Detector on board
Automatic fallback music kicks in the moment an audio source is missing. The fallback calendar ensures fitting music for every time of day: music pools and M3U playlists are assigned in the weekly schedule.

Define Default Media Sources
Some editorial teams always broadcast live or via stream? Want a default media source in case an upload is forgotten? With the inheritance logic of default media sources, the playout always has suitable audio ready.

Automatic Rebroadcasts based on Recordings
Use a dedicated repetition schedule to define the dates on which rebroadcasts should air. Once configured, the matching recording is always played out. Fully automatic.
