If your AutoDJ is enabled but not playing, the most common reason is simple: no media files have been uploaded yet. This guide shows the two easiest ways to upload music to your AutoDJ server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can upload tracks through the Centova Cast file manager or by FTP. FTP is usually faster for large libraries, while file manager is convenient for quick uploads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AutoDJ > Files<\/code>.<\/li>- Click
Upload<\/code> at the bottom of the page.<\/li>- Select your audio files from your computer and start upload.<\/li>
- Wait for upload completion, then repeat until all files are added.<\/li>
- Close the upload dialog and return to your AutoDJ media library view.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Best for:<\/strong> quick edits, small uploads, and users who prefer browser-based workflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMethod 2: Upload Music via AutoDJ FTP (Fastest)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
FTP is usually the most reliable way to upload many files at once. You can use any FTP client (for example FileZilla).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Open Centova Cast and go to
Quick Links<\/code>.<\/li>- Find the FTP Client Connections<\/em> section.<\/li>
- Copy your FTP hostname, username, and password.<\/li>
- Connect using your FTP client and open the
media<\/code> folder.<\/li>- Drag and drop your audio files into
media<\/code> (subfolders are optional).<\/li>- Wait 1-2 minutes for AutoDJ library indexing.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Best for:<\/strong> large libraries, bulk transfers, and repeat uploads.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSupported File Types and Upload Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n- MP3 is the most universally compatible format for AutoDJ workflows<\/li>
- Keep file names clean to avoid metadata parsing issues<\/li>
- Use consistent artist\/title tags to improve library quality<\/li>
- After upload, verify tracks appear in media library before scheduling playlists<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
If your tracks do not appear after upload, check encoding format and metadata consistency first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
