Key areas to watch include Server Status (ensure it’s green!), Listener Count (watch your Online Audience grow!), and the AutoDJ Status.

Chapter 3: Setting Up Your AutoDJ

AutoDJ allows your station to broadcast 24/7. This ensures your Online Audience always has something to listen to, even when you aren’t at the microphone.

ONLINE AUDIENCE PRO-TIP: High-quality audio is key. We recommend uploading MP3s at 128kbps or 320kbps for the best SonicPanel performance.

Chapter 4: The Power of SSL Streaming

Modern web security is non-negotiable. To reach your Online Audience on Chrome, Safari, or mobile devices, you must use an SSL link. SonicPanel makes this easy by providing a dedicated HTTPS stream URL.

Always use the SSL link when embedding players on your website to ensure 100% compatibility for your Online Audience.
