The AutoDJ is a very nice tool to stream audio without having your computer on all the time. The way this works is, you will have access to an online web interface where you can create playlists to stream your audio files. The AutoDJ comes with many features, but we will focus on how to maximize your AutoDJ space.

With Autodj, you will have to upload your files to a server to create a playlist with these files. Space varies depending on how much space did you bought with the streaming plan. Some people make a big mistake and waste their Autodj space when they upload their mp3 files with a higher bitrate than the birthrate they are streaming.

For example, let say your AutoDJ space is 1GB and all your mp3 files are 4:00 minutes long:

• 4:00/min at 128/kbps = 3.75 MB – This means you can upload 273 files to your 1GB space
• 4:00/min at 96/kbps = 2.81 MB – This means you can upload 364 files to your 1GB space
• 4:00/min at 64/kbps = 1.87 MB – This means you can upload 547 files to your 1GB space
• 4:00 min 32/kbps = 0.93 MB – This means you can upload 1,101 files to your 1GB space

As you see, if you encode your mp3 files to match your streaming plan, you will get the most of your AutoDJ space.
