    Hi, I'm new to Airtime. I have been given the task to find an Open Source Radio Studio/Broadcasting program running on Linux.

    We are in the process of setting up a new local radio station and we are looking at a control system.

    My situation is that I need to compile programs consisting of music, advertisements, jingle and "on air" time.

    With the music, ads and jingles I do not have a problem. I can save them as individual mp3 files and add them to a playlist. My problem is to "break" the program and put the presenter live on air for 1 or 2 minutes and then continue the program.

    The next is how do I break or stop a program which is running to break into it and go live on air. Can I drag 'n drop tracks once the program/playlist is busy playing?

    I need to compile a program/schedule where I set up the music for the presenter, but he must have on air time as well...

    Many thanks

    Hi Marcel,

    Currently we do not support interrupting a scheduled show to go into a live mode where someone can speak.

    However we do take feature requests seriously, so please open a ticket detailing what you wrote here, and we will look to fitting this into a future release.

    Currently airtime is meant for the automated portion of your broadcast. There are a number of tools on Linux that allow you to do live shows, such as Mixxx and Internet dj console.
