• ZaraRadio broadcasts radio automatically. Create your own radio to broadcast anything with great quality once you download ZaraRadio free to your computer. Nowadays radio broadcasting is a lot simpler and cheaper thanks to the possibility of automating the broadcasts. The immense majority of applications that allow the user to do so.

It’s been over ten years since I first used ZaraRadio myself, and it’s still a vary popular automation system. However, it doesn’t implement a very structured way of outputting data. We’ve developed a clever solution to this in MetaRadio, which allows you to utilise various filename formats and/or ID3 tags.
