Xanawave

A station is on air right now

Your radio station,
on air in an afternoon.

Upload your music and Xanawave does the rest: levels it, tags it, builds the rotation, keeps the schedule, and hands your listeners a page that works on every phone.

No card needed. Cancel any time.

What no one else gives you

Every host streams audio. Ours helps you programme a radio.

Anyone can point a player at a folder of songs. The difference between a stream and a station is what happens between the songs — and that is where we put the work.

Show builder

An hour that ends exactly on the hour

Tell it you have 60 minutes, three ad breaks and two jingles. It works out which songs fit — calculating the combination, not guessing — and shows you the rundown to the second.

Start from 21 complete formats: an 18th birthday night hour by hour, a wedding reception, a breakfast show, a club night, an eight-hour overnight.

Automatic tagging

Your library sorts itself

Every upload is analysed for tempo and energy, then tagged — slow, upbeat, dance, peak, chill. Dynamic playlists and show templates work from the first minute, without you tagging 2,000 tracks by hand.

Rotation rules keep the same artist apart for as long as you say, so it never sounds like a shuffle.

Virtual presenter

A voice that knows the time and the weather

Short links between songs, written and voiced on their own: the hour, the weather where you are, the track that just played. Rewritten through the day so they never sound stale.

Plus spoken time checks on the hour — either after the current song, or exactly at :00 with the music fading under.

1

Upload your music

Drop files in, or send a whole ZIP. Every track is levelled to the same loudness, trimmed of silence at the edges, checked for duplicates and tagged automatically.

2

Press go on air

Your station starts within seconds and keeps running whether you are watching or not. Pick a show format when you want more structure than a rotation.

3

Share one link

Your listen page works on any phone, installs like an app, and shows what is playing with artwork. Put the player on your own site with one line of HTML.

Pricing

You pay for listening, not for promises

Plans are measured in listening hours — one person listening for one hour. It is the honest unit: it maps exactly to what your station costs to run, and it is the number advertisers ask you for anyway.

Questions people actually ask

Do I need a music licence?

Yes, and it is yours to arrange — from SABAM and Simim in Belgium, or the equivalent where you broadcast. No host can grant you those rights, whatever they imply. We give you the tools; the licence stays with the broadcaster.

What happens if I run out of listening hours?

We warn you at 80 percent, by email, with your options. If the month runs out the station pauses until the next one, or until you add hours. Running out means people are listening — that is the good kind of problem.

Can I really cancel any time?

Yes. Your stations keep broadcasting until the end of the period you have paid for, and your files stay available while you decide what to do next.

How does the Android app work?

One app carries every station on your account. It is published under your name, with your signing key, in your own Google Play account — so it stays yours even if you leave us.

I have 2,000 tracks somewhere else. Is moving painful?

Send them in a ZIP, or paste a list of links. Everything is levelled, tagged and checked for duplicates on the way in.

What if my station goes silent at three in the morning?

We notice. Dead air and dropped connections are detected automatically, the station is restarted on its own, and you get an email telling you what happened.
