The short answer: on VoxStream your radio runs itself with the AutoDJ, which plays whatever is on the schedule when nobody is live. The schedule is built from four pieces: the music library, the playlists, the scheduling of those playlists by day and hour, and what goes between the songs: jingles, commercials and the time announcement (called Hora Certa in the panel), where the radio tells listeners the time. This is where VoxStream shines: putting the station on autopilot. Menu names change with the panel version: if you cannot find one, look for the closest word.
The pieces of the schedule
| Piece | What it does |
| Music library | The files the AutoDJ plays. They use the plan’s AutoDJ space: 20 GB on Streaming Pro, 50 GB on Plus and 150 GB on Ultra. The panel also has a collection of MP3s sorted by music genre. |
| Playlists | Lists of songs with a theme: morning, night, one genre, weekend music. The schedule plays playlists, not loose songs. |
| Scheduling | Says which playlist plays on each day and at each hour. It is what makes the morning sound different from the night. |
| Jingles and commercials | Short files (the station ID, an advert) that go between songs, as often as you set. |
| Time announcement (Hora Certa) | The AutoDJ tells listeners the time, between songs. |
| Song requests | Listeners ask for songs; a request can be approved by hand or go into the schedule on its own. |
| Played songs report | The list of what went on air, as Excel or PDF. Useful to check the schedule, and for anyone who asks you what was played. |
Building the schedule from scratch

| Check the clock before you schedule. Scheduling and the time announcement follow the panel’s clock. If the time the panel shows is not your local time, the morning show goes out at the wrong hour and the radio announces a time that is not yours. If the time is off and you cannot find where to change it, tell us before you build the whole schedule. |
| Always keep a fallback playlist covering the hours you have not planned yet. Gaps in the schedule are the most common reason an automated radio keeps repeating the same songs, or goes silent. |
