Do you want to be a professional DJ, mix your songs and have your own radio station? Streaming Platform offers you the possibility to live radio broadcast and have your own white label website.
All you need to do is install Virtual DJ application on your computer (http://www.virtualdj.com/) and go live on your radio station. The settings described in this page are for both Virtual DJ versions: Free and Pro. Virtual DJ is available for download for both Windows and Mac operating systems.
Important note: We have confirmed that using Virtual DJ version 7 the users can stream on their radio channel. Latest Virtual DJ versions are under testing and we will post them in this page once we confirmed that they are working with our platform.
Virtual DJ application offers you the possibility to broadcast your songs playlist and also to stream your microphone.
