Do they just play it from Spotify or YouTube? And how does it get decided which song to play?
In: Technology
Radio stations have a giant database of music. All of it will be pre-downloaded, so they’re not worried about buffering anything or quality.
Those databases of music are tailor made for radio stations. In a single dealing, they pay for all the software involved, and all the licensing fees, and all the updates to keep them current.
Radio software will also have ad slot management, including how frequently ads play, timing things so that they have slots for news/traffic/etc, and so on.
