Yonacast Lite
You bring the source — live DJ, relay, or M3U8 stream. We give you enterprise-grade proxy infrastructure, real-time analytics, embeddable players, and broadcast compliance tools. All in the browser.
Your Full Studio.
Inside the Browser.
No downloads. No plugins. Yonacast Lite runs a professional 3-channel Web DJ deck natively in Chrome — perfect for live shows, talk radio, and remote broadcasts.
- Mix 3 Sources: Blend Live Microphone, System Audio (Spotify, YouTube, etc.), and Local MP3 files simultaneously with independent volume and a dedicated MIC ↔ MUSIC crossfader.
- ID3 Tags & DJ Metadata: Automatically reads artist, title, and album from MP3s. Set your DJ name and show name — broadcast live in the stream title.
- Live Ad Breaks: Fire commercial breaks with a single click. Shows a live countdown timer so you know exactly when to come back on air.
Paste an HLS stream URL (.m3u8) to extract and broadcast its audio:
Extract. Proxy.
Infinite Scale.
Already have a 24/7 source? Yonacast Lite turns any input into a professional, globally distributed Icecast stream.
- M3U8 Audio Extraction: Have a 24/7 TV or HLS stream? We strip the video layer and re-encode pristine Icecast audio on the fly. Your TV becomes a radio.
- Stream Relaying: Bypass shared-server listener limits by routing your master stream through our proxy infrastructure. One source, unlimited listeners.
- Desktop & HTTPS: Connect studio hardware via BUTT, AltaCast, or Mixxx. Every station gets a secure HTTPS stream URL out of the box.
Know Everything.
In Real Time.
A single dashboard that shows everything happening on your station right now — no page switching, no confusion.
- Now Playing & Listeners: See the current track, artist, source type, and live listener count at a glance. Peak listeners tracked automatically.
- Station Health: Uptime, stream bitrate, active source type, and connection status — all in one view with quick-action shortcuts.

Analytics That
Actually Matter.
Four complete analytics views: Overview, Top Songs, Licensing Report, and Listener Analytics. Everything your licensing body needs, plus insights to grow your audience.
- Song History & Rankings: Every track is logged automatically. See your most-played songs ranked by play count, duration, and listener-hours.
- Geographic & Device Insights: Know which countries and devices your listeners use. Essential for territory-based licensing like SoundExchange and PRS.
- Privacy First: All listener IPs are SHA-256 hashed. No personal data is ever stored — only anonymized geographic and statistical aggregates.
Your Station.
Everywhere.
Give your listeners a beautiful way to tune in. Embed your station on any website, or share a direct public player link.
- Public Player & Embeds: Beautiful standalone listen page with dark/light themes, plus 6 embeddable widget styles. Copy one line of HTML and you're live on any website.
- Now-Playing API: JSON endpoint returning current track, artist, listener count, and metadata. Perfect for mobile apps or custom UIs.
- Fully Responsive: Every player and embed automatically adapts to mobile screens, tablets, and desktops.
Complete Control.
Global Scale.
Manage who broadcasts and who listens. Full DJ scheduling, territory management, and access control — built for stations that take compliance seriously.
- Unlimited DJs & Time-Locks: Create separate DJ accounts with individual passwords and scheduled broadcast windows. Denied attempts are logged automatically.
- Geoblocking: Block or allow specific countries from accessing your stream. Required by music licensing bodies for territory-restricted broadcasts.
- Connection Audit Log: Every DJ login, disconnection, and denied access attempt is timestamped — essential for regulatory audits.

Internet radio has real legal requirements. Yonacast handles all advanced licensing, GDPR consent, and metadata compliance — so you can focus on content.

- Licensing-Ready CSV Reports: One-click export generates compliance-ready CSVs for ASCAP, BMI, PRS, and SoundExchange. Full UTF-8 support for every language.
- GDPR & Privacy Controls: EU listeners get dynamic consent popups for ads. All IPs in licensing reports are SHA-256 hashed — ad network data sharing follows strict GDPR consent rules.
