Airtime, an award-winning, open source radio management software, has reached version 2.1, getting real-time show editing and live stream rebroadcasting.

Airtime 2.1 allows connecting remotely via tools such as Mixxx or Virtual DJ and the application will rebroadcast the stream either at a time you set or in the middle of the broadcast, using a nice transition.









The new version also allows editing the shows in real-time, while you're on air: you can add/remove/rearrange tracks within a show, edit the length of a show that's currently playing and more.





Other changes in the latest Airtime include: the ability to seek and preview any part of a track, new button for switching between scheduled andd rebroadcast modes, improved media library, reduced CPU utilization for OGG streams and more.
