How the DJ works.

PICKING TRACKS

One song ends, the DJ chooses the next.

Every time a track finishes, the DJ picks what follows. It builds a pool of candidates from your library — songs in a similar mood, similar artists, recently-added and frequently-played albums, matching playlists — and the LLM chooses from that pool, steering by the time of day, the weather, and the current mood. When nothing's been requested, it runs a fallback playlist so the music never stops.

THE VOICES

Personas, picked at random.

The operator gives the DJ one to ten souls — distinct personas, each with its own name and character. Before each spoken moment the station picks one at random, so the voice on air shifts through the day rather than reading from a single script. Each line is generated fresh; the DJ doesn't repeat itself.

The spoken audio is rendered by a text-to-speech engine — a fast local voice by default, or a more natural one if the operator configures it.

WHEN IT TALKS

Links, IDs, the time, the weather.

Between tracks the DJ does what radio DJs do — a short link tying one song to the next, a station ID, the time at the top of the hour, a weather note when the conditions change. Spoken segments ride over the music: the track ducks down while the DJ talks, then comes back up.

How chatty the station is depends on a frequency setting the operator chooses — quiet, moderate, or aggressive. A quiet station checks the time every couple of hours and drops the occasional ID; an aggressive one gives you full idents and weather updates through the hour.

SHOWS & SESSIONS

It keeps a thread going.

The DJ runs in sessions — a continuous block with a memory of what it's already played and said, so its links stay coherent instead of starting cold each time. A session can be a scheduled show the operator paints onto a weekly grid, or an autonomous block keyed to the time of day and the dominant mood. When the show changes or the block ages out, the session rolls over to a fresh one and carries a short handoff forward.
