mAirList Radio Automation review
A deep Windows radio suite with advanced control, streaming, and scheduling at a high upfront price.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
mAirList Radio Automation is a Windows-based system for radio playout, live assist, scheduling, database management, and streaming. It supports automated and presenter-controlled playback, playlist and event scheduling, cartwall operation, graphical cue and mix editing, voice tracking, logging, recording, and multiple simultaneous outgoing streams. Its audience includes small and medium radio stations, web or DAB channels, digital studios, and home radio users that need more than a basic streaming encoder.
The edition structure is broad, with one-time licenses ranging from €476 for Standard to €1,190 for Professional. Standard includes playout, cartwall, database and scheduling, a streaming encoder, MIDI and USB remote control, and layout and skin options. Advanced adds console and TCP/IP remote control, voice tracking, advertising scheduling, and external DSP plugins for €714. Advanced Plus costs €952 and adds remote control for DHD, Lawo, Axia, and Wheatstone consoles, along with Ember+ Consumer. Advanced Server also costs €952 and adds mAirListDB Server, Stream Monitor, and a REST API. Professional adds SQL and multi-user database support, royalty report export, MusicMaster Nexus API access, and optional management licenses, regionalization, and multi-instance support.
Its strongest fit is for Windows-based operations that need scheduling depth, cartwall workflows, voice tracking, recording, and integrations with Shoutcast, Icecast, MusicMaster Nexus API, broadcast consoles, Ember+, and MIDI. The 30-day trial gives prospective buyers a way to assess the workflow before committing. However, the Windows-only platform and high upfront price narrow its audience, particularly for teams seeking a lower-cost or cross-platform option. Choose mAirList when advanced radio automation and studio control matter more than a small initial budget; look elsewhere if you need a free plan or non-Windows support.
