How AutoDJ libraries use disk space
How much storage does an internet radio station need?
A small AutoDJ library of a few hundred songs often fits in 5–15 GB at 256–320 kbps. Larger 24/7 stations with thousands of tracks commonly need 30–75 GB. Leave headroom for growth, jingles, and voice tracks.
Does stream bitrate affect music library storage?
Library storage depends on how your media files are encoded on disk—not the listener stream bitrate. You can store 320 kbps files and still stream at 128 or 192 kbps from your mount.
Which Radiocast plan matches my library size?
Professional includes 10 GB, Small Business 50 GB, Radiocast Max 75 GB, and Enterprise up to 1 TB. Use this planner as a guide, then confirm current limits on radiocast.net.
