Airtime, an award-winning, open source radio management software, has reached version 2.1, getting real-time show editing and live stream rebroadcasting.
Airtime 2.1 allows connecting remotely via tools such as Mixxx or Virtual DJ and the application will rebroadcast the stream either at a time you set or in the middle of the broadcast, using a nice transition.
The new version also allows editing the shows in real-time, while you're on air: you can add/remove/rearrange tracks within a show, edit the length of a show that's currently playing and more.
Other changes in the latest Airtime include: the ability to seek and preview any part of a track, new button for switching between scheduled andd rebroadcast modes, improved media library, reduced CPU utilization for OGG streams and more.
You can see the new features in action in the video below:
